10/17/2010

What concept do you feel like you mastered this nine weeks? What concept did you struggle with the most? Why? What can you change this nine weeks in your study habits, etc to improve your grade?

This nine weeks I feel that I have mastered many new concepts that I never thought I would learn or have to learn. The concepts are basically elementary concepts, and I never knew something so complicated could be so simple, and I never knew something so simple could be so complicated.

Anyway, I feel that I definitely mastered the concept of finding prime factorizations for different numbers. Also, I feel totally comfortable with LCM and GCD now, more than ever before in my life, I feel like a pro at it.

The concept I struggled with the most this nine weeks would probably have to be conics, exponents, and finding the exact factors of a number once you find the prime factorization. I've always had trouble with conics, especially parabolas for some reason, exponents are ok, but sometimes they can be complicated, and finding those factors just takes a long time and I get lazy and don't feel like doing them I guess.

What I can change the next nine weeks is definitely just study more and more every night, and stop procrastinating in class and actually try to pay attention to the subject material being taught.
