My Advice to a New Math 175 Student:
My advice to a new Math 175 student would be to remain calm.
Having
not
taken even an algebra course for 3 years, I was a little bit worried
about
this class in the beginning. It really helped me though to do the
Review
Chapter in the front of the textbook. So that is where I would start.
I was
always the type of student who hated doing homework and usually waited
until
the day before the test before I began to study. However, I learned in
this
class that my old habits would not get me by this time. So even though
nobody likes to do homework, I advise you to work on ALL the assigned
problems every night before class or at least the night after the
lecture.
It is really important not to fall too far behind in this class. I
would
also not be afraid to ask questions from the homework in class and when
you
need extra help, I suggest going to talk to your professor. Dr. Hoar
helped
me on numerous occasions. I found it easier to understand the material
when
I went in to his office and we worked on them one on one.
So just remember to keep up with the homework, go over as many
different
problems as you can until you feel you are familiar with them, and also
go
and get help from either the professor or the tutor labs. The tutor
labs are
good, although I found it more beneficial to get help from Dr. Hoar. I
know
that these suggestions may sound generic but they are really necessary
if you
want to succeed in this class. Trust me! Good luck people!

Ryan, Marketing Major
