I am officially finished with math courses....

[Cindy B]

YAY!!! I forgot how much a relief it was to be done courses in college.


I recently got the idea to go back to school . My advisor suggested a summer accelerated math and literature class. The match class was a bear and a half... this is one of my requrired courses for graduation... and it was horrible!!!!!


I had a poor average.. very bad.. and then I got a 97 on the final chapter test.. Me, who has never gotten an A on a math test ever, let alone in college! It brought my grade up to a transferable grade and has me in position to get a B as a final grade!


The final was tonight, and I was sweating it out... I was stumped on only two questions, so we will .


So, if you are told to take Math Reasoning for Elementary Students... run, far far away..... it was really tough!


YAY! no more math classes!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! I admire anyone who can get through Pass or fail) a math class!

::sigh::
Still have differential equations 2, then maybe a few more classes for a math minor.

Congrats though.

Congratulations, Cindy!!! I remember the joy of my final math class in college too! It's such a great feeling and something to be proud of!!!

Kirk, you took the words out of my mouth....



I've seen enough equations, Venn Diagrams, symbols, and approximation thoery to last me a lifetime...

It took me almost a year after I finished my College Algebra class to not chant the quadratic formula on a regular basis.

Congrats on finishing your math class, Cindy.

You have my condolences.

Browneyes: negative b, plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac, all divided by 2a

Congratulations, CindyB

 

[caitycaity]

Damo, now I'll be chanting that for another year.

Congratulations again!

Congrats, Cindy! I just passed Pre-Algebra 2 with a B last week. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm not a math person either. On to Intermediate Algebra in the fall. Then I still have College Algebra, then either in the direction of Calculus (no way!) or whatever math is for Education majors.

 

[Cindy B]

Pin Wizard.. here it is here for education majors... at my school anyway..


Back in 1988, I took Algebra. Then the next smester I took Statistics.

This one was Math Reasoning and Stuctural Systems for Education. It was a K-12 math course designed for education majors. But the emphasis was on 12th grade, we were doing Alg II and trig... ! Yikes!



I actually learned a lot. There was so much to learn in a very short time (4 weeks/3 nights a week!).

 

[Pin Wizard]

With us for Education majors, after College Algebra comes Liberal Arts math. I hear it's a step backward from Algebra. I need to check after that. My pre-algebra 2 course was a 6-week summer course, 4 days a week. I can't imagine doing yours in 4 weeks! But it sure beats the usual 16 week courses!! I get so bored with those right after mid-term.

 

[KathiWithAnI]

Ow, Ow Ow! As a math teacher it's so painful to read how much everyone enjoys NOT having math *sigh*

But... CONGRATULATIONS! Summer courses really are tough because of the much faster pace. I am teaching 2 courses this summer and it has been a tough session.

As a counselor said to me a couple weeks ago, it's a hoop to jump through in college. I'll never use the stuff again.

 

[Cindy B]

Actually I will use this again.. one of the students in the class has taken his Praxis I & II. He stated that most of the math in Praxis II was in this class.


I took over 200 pages of notes...so I will be up and ready for Praxis II !

Congratulations Cindy!! I taught a college Math class long time ago which was quite an experience for me to be on that side of the desk!!
