English 1000 Vs Math 1090
Office Hours This semester has been a little difficult for me; I have faced many challenges and still have more to come. Classes have been hard to adjust to but I have tried my hardest and put my best foot forward. The main two classes that I feel I am struggling in right now are English 1000 and Math 1090. I feel these are my hardest classes because English is a weak subject for me and coming into college English is a big step for me. I have a big problem with my writing and the way I word my papers therefore English is a weakness of mine. Math is another weakness of mine because when I learn new things and I don’t understand them I don’t usually tend to ask for help and in math you learn something new every day. I was very good at math …show more content…
Also I am going to talk to him and ask him what kind of things I can do to improve myself as a writer. Then I will talk to my Math 1090 teacher and see what extra credit opportunities I have to improve my grade and bring in a previous test that I didn’t do so well on so she can tell me my mistakes and possibly help figure out my mistakes. Hopefully from my visits with my professors I will learn how to be a better student in that class and how to improve my grade and be a better …show more content…
He is really goofy and likes to make jokes all the time I guess you would say he isn’t your average uptight professor. When we met I took a folder with me that had my previous project in it and a rough draft of my new paper. He already knew who I was so I didn’t have to introduce myself. We started off by talking about my previous paper he told me that the mistakes I make are minor and can be fixed simple by just rereading my writing. He complemented me on how my flow of writing is he said I have good ideals when I write I just need to know how to word them in a different way. Then we went to talk about the rough draft that I brought with me, he marked it up a little bit by putting commas where they needed to be and fixing misspelled words. He told me a common mistake I make in my writing is run on sentences but he told me not to worry about it because we would talk about it more in

    Self Evaluation In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    The most single important piece of knowledge I have gained in English class this year was the fact that if you work hard enough and put effort into your work, in the end, it will result in good things further ahead in the future. My level of effort on my assignment this year so far has been not so great than what I wanted it to be. I can say that it’s due to the fact that I am partially lazy and I may not find the topic so interesting but either way, one has to do the work and you might as well enjoy it. I didn’t actually do my best quality work. I who have like to try, but sadly I did not. My best moments I have had in class was when we all read “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and when we watched the movie version of the…

    Personal Narrative: My Semester Of English Composition

    The semester started off the same as most. I go into it telling myself that I will stay caught up this time. I won’t allow myself to do assignments at the last minute. As usual these promises are quickly broken. I work eight to twelve hours a day and six days a week most weeks, so often when I get home, the last thing I want to do is homework. This means putting everything for most of my classes off till Sunday. A habit I have sadly been in for the better part of my time at Gateway.…

    Cay 101: Foundations For College Success

    When I began my senior year of high school, I was tired and unmotivated and chose to give up and not put my full effort into all my school work. I was so excited, my last year of high school. I was always told since I was a freshman that your junior year would be the hardest and the most important because those are the grades that colleges will mostly be looking at and that your senior year would be the easiest because you're mostly taking electives and you only need to focus on you main courses such as economics and english to graduate. When I started school this year I put off all my homework till last minute, I was absent more than usual, my work was sloppy, and I wasn't really participating. I kept thinking that all I need is a 65 in…

    Mathematics and Moreno Valley

    As a student, grades are very important to me. I have never failed a class, and I always strive to earn an A. I always try to do my best. In all honesty, I don’t like school much. My favorite class so far this year has to be either French or ACT. A few of my academic strengths are that I’m a great listener, I don’t like to waste time when I could be getting work done, and I check my work a lot to make sure it is correct or near correct. My academic weaknesses are that I won’t ask questions if I need help and most of the time the topics don’t interest me. I like figuring problems out on my own because I learn better that way, but it can be a bad thing if I really don’t understand the problem at all. In those cases, I don’t know where to start fixing my problem.…

    During my 10th grade year, my grades slowly starting lowering. My grade in my Geometry AP class, i couldnt even wrap my fingers around the things we were learning. Heres something you should know about me, im not a audio learning. Im more on a visual learner, and a hands on learner. I attended tutorials but it wasnt increasing my grade in that class. As i get my mind focused on college, I have this mind set that I will get there by doing good in my future studies.

    My English 211C Class

    I also made it difficult for myself because the entire semester I was trying to find sides and argue for a side, but most of the assignments did not require me to do that. I also learned the importance of asking questions as well as the use of the writing center. Without those factors this semester would have been very difficult, but due to the clarity they ensured me I was able to come out on top. I learned more about what works for me as a writer such as when I am conducting research and reading different articles it is helpful when I write down key things within the article. I learned that I do better with a paper when I do an outline then I write my rough draft on paper then I type it. I also learned a lot about life because it was all about current issues which I did not really keep up with until this class, but I regret not keeping up with them before this class. I find current issues very interesting and I like exploring the different viewpoints and why they believe that. I also learned that in life when someone does not agree with you it is good to still listen to their side although you may not agree because most of the time you guys can find something you can agree on then you can compromise. Compromising is very important in everything because everyone will not agree with everything you…

    Arizona College Tutoring Reflection

    Yes, last week was really difficult for me! I'm pursuing my degree in nursing through Arizona College and doing my prerequests through Keiser University, so I was able to take advantage of the free tutoring available at Arizona College. I put my kids in daycare for the week and I was at the Arizona College campus from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. studying and being tutored. I feel that I understand the concepts that we are studying each week, however the math portion is what I'm having a hard time with since I havent taken a math class in about ten years. I feel that I'm able to do the problems but they are taking me a long time to complete and since the time frame for the test is fifty minutes I run out of time and I'm left guessing on some of the…

    Narrative Essay On Ap Government Class

    Everyone wants good grades throughout their years in school, mainly in high school. I am more of a math and science person, other subjects like history and government. Topics like politics, the constitution, the United States Government, political parties and anything else having to do with Government class I had no interest in when I signed up for classes. I know this is something that I should be keeping up to date on because of the upcoming election and everything that changes with the government. The spring of my sophomore year I was looking for different classes to take, I saw AP Government. I thought I could do well in that class, I was motivated to learn something new and excel at something I was not very interested in. The first day of junior year came quickly. Then the first AP government test came even quicker. I studied the night before for hours thinking positive thoughts and finding funny ways to remember different answers. Going into the test I thought I was ready, but when I saw the test I froze. Thinking different thoughts like “When did we learn this?” or “Why did I take this class?”. I pushed all the negative thoughts to the side and completed the test to the best of my ability. The day we got our test back I looked down and about cried. I had never done that bad on a test.…
