My muddiest point in this unit? Ha, that’s a joke. This entire unit was a muddy point. I honestly had no idea what I was doing 85% of the time. Even when I came in at 6:30 A.M., I was still lost. The domain was something that I couldn’t seem to wrap my mind around. I’m not really sure why it was such a big problem for me. Math has been, (or I guess was, until this class, at least), something that always came very easily to me. Nothing that we apparently learned in algebra-1 or algebra-2 was ever this complex; it was just the basics. Now, we have radicals over radicals divided by quadratics… just as a denominator. That’s not anything I had ever seen in my life. I barely remembered how to do the domain of simple equations, so that stuff really threw me through loops. Even if you make the simplest mistake, you’ve screwed up on the entire problem, and it’s not easy to come back from that. I messed up so many times, and instead of trying to come back, I threw my math everywhere and ended up just giving up; which I have never done before. Maybe some of it had to do with the 200+ homework questions, on stuff I didn’t know how to do, nonetheless, that just added to my stress-load and made me lose my mind. All in all, this first unit has been a real struggle for me lose my mind.
Make sure that when you do come in early that you ask questions that will help you on the majority of the work. I think the future units will be much better for you and if not, let me know and we'll do our best to fix that.
