I have had quite a few "muddy points" in this unit. I have had ups and downs where I think I understood something, then my brain turned to mush whenever you threw in a hardball. I had the hardest time understanding how to combine functions. Every time I would think I was doing the problems correctly, I wouldn't be. I never went to check my answers either, because I tend to want to just copy down the answers instead of wanting to try and learn how to do the problems. I don't know how well I did on that part of the test. However, in the end, I did the review for the unit and felt pretty confident about the test, so I guess I will see when I get my score back.
I think that this unit was a bit of a struggle to me though, and I think it's because I need to get used to the way you teach. I had Geometry with you Freshman year, but I know that your teaching style is very different in Functions. Hopefully I can improve my understanding in the class and feel really clear about the content we learn throughout the rest of the Trimester.
We can do this together! We will make this trimester well worth it and hopefully you'll learn a lot. Maybe more about yourself as a learner then math, but both would be great! Keep asking questions!
