August 28 - This was my first week in Math. This week I was figured out how to take notes more efficiently. I took plenty of notes on what was discussed in class, so I'll be pretty organized during the rest of the class. I'm very glad to be getting a review in math basics. Math is one of those things that if you get behind in, you can get lost quickly. So far I love the way the class is set up. A great way to do a UVU class.

Week of September 20 - Last week I did well on my math test. I'm definitely liking the way this class is laid out. We've been learning to solve for x. Apparently the next test will be easier. We made our own problems in class, and then handed them to our neighbors to solve. At first I was having trouble with getting the answer, but I realized I just need to work on the order of operations a little more. This chapter is a lot less complicated than the last one and the last one wasn't that complicated. I have high hopes for this upcoming test. I'll need to remember that wen simplifying I need to distribute or combine like terms.

Oct. 28 - This week we took our mid-term test and got it back. Looking at the ones I missed, it seems it's because of small steps that I forgot or got mixed up on. One of those was positives and negatives. The best way for me to remember those kinds of steps is to just re-memorize them. I'll definitely be making more flash cards this upcoming term. I'm pretty satisfied with my overall grade in the class. I've done excellent on the homework, but will need to just make sure I have all the steps down for any upcoming tests.
