I have taken Math 101 this semester and Math has not always been my best subject and I defiantly struggle with it. The University totally changed the program this semester and now you only go to class once a week and go to the lab for the three hours a week. You have a teacher stand in front of a class for one hour and then you must attend the lab where teachers walk around helping you with particular problems. Many would think that this would be a better way to teach because there is more one on one help, but I had a hard time because I could not physically see what the teachers in the lab were trying to explain. All of the many teachers taught the problem differently. Also you were expected to take your test, quizzes, and homework on the computer. It took me awhile to understand how to type all of the answers in correctly, but after awhile it became very easy. I have always done my time in the lab but I was just not grasping the concept of what I was supposed to be learning at the time. I did okay on my first two test and then I made A’s on the last two tests. Now my total average was an 89.2% which meant I had a B, but I still had to take the exam. I new I must study very hard because I wanted an A. Well, the exam was cumulative and it was now hand written instead of on the computer so this was to my best advantage because now you were able to receive particle credit. Well I checked my grade and I received an 86 on my exam. The best part is that your exam grade replaces your lowest test score, which mine was a C, so I am getting an A in the class!!!!! I was very excited and all of my hard work paid off.
