Week One

September 6, 2009

Well After Much Confusion, and Thanks To Mr. Cory Little, I am Starting my Learning Log.

This Class Seems Like It will Be Alot of fun, I am Nervous because I really struggle With Math.. specially Basic math. After taking our First Chapter test, I still feel un-easy about everything. It has become clear that I have become too Dependent on using a calculater. During the test i had issues with simple subraction and multiplication. That is something I would Like to start working on, on my own time.

I look Forward to what i have to learn in the future with this class, and hopefully can develope my skills in math and move on to bigger problems that will help forward my education!

Till next time, Jordan Schwitzer

So im not sure if we are supposed to do this once a week, or twice?

Cory: Do it as often as you like. I will be grading it looking for once a week.

This past week in class we learned Expressions, constants, variables and so forth... all of which i feel pretty confident about, which makes me happy! Still my only concern is my lacking of knowledge with basic multiplication and long division. I have also learned that me and jessica kick butt as a team doing homework! But after talking it over with Mr. Little he's helped me realize that i need to learn how to do the math, not just cruise through it and forget it. So that is my next goal for this week.

till next time, Jordan Schwitzer

Welp, took the test, pretty sure same things apply as last time. I'm Just no good at math. specially the story problems, I need to start practicing them more, so i dont freeze up when i come up on them during tests. on other parts of the test though, i feel like i did really good. I felt really good about the homework! I also need to get used to the fact that we cant use calculaters in this class, thats still the hardest part for me. Jordan Schwitzer.

Test results show i suck at math... no matter how hard i study for it. Im just no good with out a calculator. i need to stay after and do my homework, but sometimes i get busy and have to go home. So i need to focus on taking my time and not rush through class, or homework... Jordan Schwitzer

Oct 4, 2009 Well i was only able to make it to tuesday class this week. Which was the test. I feel As though i came into this class with expectations. and im realizing that i shouldnt give up after realizing things are hard. I need to really try and focus on what im learning so i can succeed. I will try to do better this week, and also catch up on what i missed. Jordan Schwitzer
