My Advice to a New Math 175 Student:
To do well in this class, you must stay on track with the assignments!
If I could go back to the begining of the semester, I would keep up with the
homework! When you miss one class (and assignment), it is harder to catch up
and get back on track. It's easiest to do some math every day, and not skip
on the weekends after the quizzes. If I could go back, I would at least try
all the word problems, because those are the most important for the quizzes
and tests.
The online practice problems are helpful, especially the quizzes, because they
ask questions similar to the ones on the in-class quizzes and you
find out the right answer right away. And it's a big help to find someone
else in the class that you can study with and ask questions. I don't know what
I would have done in this class if I didn't study daily with a friend! Group
sessions were a lot of help before a test, and the tutor room is helpful if
you have a specific question about a concept.
Sincerely,
Jessica, Accounting Major
