Time for Reflection


1)  We have covered a lot of ground so far in this class. Out of all of the concepts we've covered, what has been the most difficult for you to grasp? What has been the easiest? Why were they difficult/easy?

2) What strategies have helped you keep up with the material in this fast-moving course? Is there anything you do inside or outside of class that helps you?

3)  Do you still have foundational gaps in your mathematical knowledge? (aka: Are there concepts from class that you still do not understand?) If so, what are they? Be honest. If not, how do you know you have mastered all of the concepts?

4)  What improvements could be made in class to better help you understand the material?

5)  Name at least two ways that you will prepare for your mathematics final.
