I seem to be having trouble remembering which rules go with each different problem once I figure it out I'm fine but it makes me nervous for the tests. I think once I keep doing it ill remember but only time will tell.

January 31,

I think that I have finally been doing enough problems that I'm remembering the rules and formulas now. I still get confused with word problems especially with subtraction word problems because if you write it in the wrong order you'll get the wrong answer. I thought I was doing really good with perimeter and area but after I was checking the bonus ? with you I don't know. Over all I am learning a lot and enjoy the class.

February 20, Right now we are studying decimals and it seemed really easy threw the first seven sections but the eighth section threw the tenth section seem to be a lot more difficult. Its not that they are that hard to figure out I'm just worried that I wont remember which formulas to use on which problems because they are so similar. I am also worried about remembering the different definitions for the different ways to find averages but I'll just study hard and hope for the best.

March 7, We took our mid term this week and I was hoping to do well enough to get my grade back up to an A but I didn't do so well I'm still having trouble remembering when to use distributive property and when to just do what's in the parenthesis. hopefully I will remember do write in my learning log and ace my next couple of chapters to get my grade up again.

March 20, We are learning chapter seven it seems pretty easy so far I still am always able to do the work easily but am still having trouble remembering the formulas just like with every other chapter. I still have trouble being able to write out word problems also. Over all i am liking the class and think I will be ready to move on to math 990 next semester cause my brain is finally getting back into school mode.

April 16, I got back from my honey moon this week and have felt a little over whelmed with home work and the test for chapter 9. I was so concerned with figuring out and remembering how to find slope and remembering the formulas that I forgot some of the basic stuff from earlier in the chapter. So I struggled on parts of the test but I think I did ok.I was so concerned with the test that I hardly remember what you taught us about the second half of chapter 10 so im a little worried about how I will do on the test tuesday. I was hoping you might give me credit for the learning log I wasn't able to do when I was on my trip cause I could use all the help I can get with them I have missed a bunch of them.

April 22, we just took our chapter 10 test and I'm not sure if I did well enough to pass. I really hope so but I know there are some questions that I didnt have a clue about and thats gonna really hurt my grade so I hope if I bombed the test you will let me take it over again. I really hope I do well on the final also because I would like to keep my B that I have in the class right now.
