I chose to reflect on collaborating and working with my peers. During this semester we would do group work pretty much daily. For the first months we would be put in random groups when working, in order to help us get to know our new classmates. This allowed me to make new connections and learn other people’s strategies on how to solve questions using different methods. We then moved into our own chosen groups for the rest of the semester. Lucky for me I know the other people in my group very well which made group work overall more exciting, and I found it easier to learn with them.

This semester my time management was not the best for math. I am reflecting on this subject because I felt that I could have improved on it a lot. At the begging of the year, I was making very good use of class time and was always on task. But as the semester continued, I found my work habits and time management slipping away. I think if I had made better use of class time my mark in this class could be much better. unfortunately, there is not too much I can do about it now, but I will go into next year knowing this and hopefully applying it into my work.

I committed to my individual practices a decent amount. Due to my work habits being poor in class I found myself doing a large amount of homework. I would be on top of doing my homework for the better part of the year. This was helpful to me because it forced me to learn the material in my own ways. I do think I could have put more of an effort into studying for test and quizzes, doing my homework was not enough to do well in this class.

Advice for Future Students

I think the biggest thing to do in this class is to not let it overwhelm you. I was always fining myself overwhelmed and it made it hard to focus and achieve what I wanted to. The second thing I would do differently is study more, this would have made a very big difference in my grade. Even if you are just doing 30 minutes a day it will make such a big difference. The last piece of advice I would give is to slow down and pay attention to the lectures and group material.
