B.O.B.

I came into this math class thinking it would be just like any other math class, it just happens to turnout that i was very badly mistaken. At first we started out nice and slow and then boom 260 math problems over a few days (or so it felt). I have never been so overwhelmed in my life..not even in sports. I spent hours on hours studying and would finally start to think that I was starting to get it. I was wrong, very very wrong. I wish that I could pin point exactly where things went wrong. I came in for help, asked questions, and did all my homework except for 2 problems. I really had no idea where things went South. The more that I look back on this unit I have realized that I do not learn from examples. I learn from getting a genric set of steps to follow that when you do you get the right answer every single time. I felt very rushed throughout the entire unit and I realize now that speaking up would have been a great option. But I feel like you are the only person that I couldnget help from, none of my friends knew how to do it and I just felt trapped. I am still not very sure about handle this growing issue but I feel like it needs to be fixed quickly. I have never preformed so poorly on a math test in my entire life. Never gotten a B. Never failed at any one problem...now I am failing at all of them and I do not know what to do. It still is a mystery to me. I have never been in this situation before and I do not know how to handle it whatsoever. I think that your teaching style and the way that I am able to learn are on the opposite side of the spectrum. I just do not know exactly how I can learn this math. My 4.0 depends on it.
