College Algebra Class Analysis

767 Words4 Pages

In College Algebra I decided to change the preparation techniques I used for the class as well as taking good notes so I would be able to review them without having any confusion. For the lectures I believed I did a good job in a few techniques the textbook presented such as “Be Here Now”, good listening skills and note-taking skills. The preparation for lecture that the book gives is reviewing the notes that was taken in the previous lecture. For College Algebra a few of the topics presented I believed that I had a good enough understanding and knew the topic beforehand that I didn’t review the notes, however for my other classes I do review the notes but only briefly. During each lecture the behavior I always I have had has been focused …show more content…

I never use my phone during the lecture unless I need to take a picture of a slide that I need to write down and the professor wants to go to the next slide. For the class I haven’t used my laptop unless the professor has told us he want us to use it. My notes are handwritten and I prefer it since for math I would find it difficult writing equations. I notice a few of my classmates use both their phones and laptops in the class to do their homework and outright ignore the lecture and I wouldn’t want end up like that considering I am paying to attend the class. My listening skills I believe are good but they could be further developed since when I take notes I tune out what the professor is saying without meaning to. However when he is solving problems are writing on the board I do focus, it’s when the notes are in the slides that I began pay less attention …show more content…

In the class most of the topics covered in the first few weeks I felt I didn’t need to review because I had a good enough understanding of the material. However the homework we have is online and it does help because it helps us review the material and if help is needed it tells you how to solve the problem. During these few weeks however it does help to briefly review the notes before the class since the material has gotten more difficult as the course goes by. Also in each lecture the professor gives a worksheet to do just to apply what we learn to the problems but it isn’t due. So it’s a good refresher to work on them outside the class and I also need to work on that since I usually don’t do

It is true that as we have a lot of information available to us, it becomes harder to focus in one source. However, there are probably some other factors that are making him and his friends to be less concentrated such as age. It is a fact that attention is getting weaker because of the age. Also, maybe they are reading in a wrong place. For instance, when I read a book in my bedroom where I am always alone, I get completely focused in my reading, but If I will try to do the same thing in the living room with my family watching TV, I will not pass

I like writing all my notes out when studying for a test rather than simply reading off the slides given to me. I use this tactic when studying for every test. I use all of these methods to effectively learn, making me multimodal. In Chapter four we learned that there is more than one type of memory.

The UK 2050 Calculator is an energy model that simulates national energy and emissions to provide a detailed, decision-based impact analysis on land use, emissions and energy, energy flows and electricity breakdown [1]. The tool was designed specifically, to model a diverse area of the UK economy and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions to illustrate the level of change, as well as potential trade-offs that will be required. Although three variations of the model were created, the web tool is aimed at expert stakeholders, such as officials, politicians, technicians and industry, whilst remaining accessible to the general public [2, 1]. It allows long-term, strategic planning to quickly compare the impact of several energy and emission pathways in achieving the UK Government’s 2050 emissions reduction targets. This is achieved through a detailed list of possible scenarios, - influenced by consumer habits, industry and commerce, transport and the energy sector - each with four possible trajectories representing the level of change induced [1].

A great resource for learning math, Khan Academy offers videos, quizzes, practice problems, and examples of problems in Algebra 1. This is very helpful if the learner best learns through visual teaching. Having an idea of what solving an equation looks like and then practicing it is an effective way of learning. The quiz aspect is also effective because it focuses primarily on the subject you choose. If you have one problem area in math, Khan Academy has many resources based on that one subject.

But if they can’t handle it then it’s their fault. I believe that being able to use your phone during class should be allowed as listening to music can help most people focus during class. And most students do not even use their phones until after the teacher is done speaking or if they are not doing anything. So it’s completely

I would say knowing how to give yourself a very comprehensive review before the test is more important. First step you need to gather all your old quizzes because about eighty percent of those will be on the next test. Before every test Mr. Cousins will provide the class with a review, but don't let him trick you there will be far more on the test then there was on the review giving. With that being said, you must learn all the formulas because there will be no help offered come test time. Next you must spend at least two hours practicing problems from the book.

When I do not get to learn/ study a material I try to do my best in the test. I think I have not always been a good test taker because I sometimes needed help in certain things. I also think I was not always a good test taker because before I didn 't really study before the test. The night before testing I try to take a look at all of my papers I have of that class and then study all of my papers for at least half a hour.

Although Kahn is convinced that a cell phone ringing in a class will leave the surrounding students “significantly impair[ed],” one might disagree about the level to which other students even notice (197). Be assured, there have been moments during class discussions where phones have gone off and no other student has noticed. Though I agree with much of what Kahn stands for, I am not persuaded that a ringing phone leaves students with such impairment. The average student can decide the amount to which such an event will influence their attention and be able to readjust if the event skewed them off course. While a cell phone in a classroom has the potential to distract one from the material being taught, the lack thereof has helped seen an increase in grade and an increase in extra credit

This same feeling abounds in students all over the world. Most students, like myself, sit in a class and countdown the seconds until we are free. Sometimes we use our phones to combat the disengaging environment that has been created to inspire us. In fact, most people consider that phones are the reason why students don’t engage in class.

I was wrong. After not doing so well on the first two exams, I could not figure out what was wrong. I reached out to my professor who agreed to meet me and go over my exams. She told me that I must use the text book rather than the lecture notes. Ever since I have used the text book my exam score had increased by thirty percent.
