Working collaboratively with others 

Working with others has helped me effectively learn more intricate concepts, my group knowing what was going on and explaining it to me on a one-to-one explanation helped me internalize the information.

Dealing with challenges

Dealing with challenges was something I think I did well at in this course, having a toolbox that constantly expands with new methods of learning and studying was very useful to me, I could memorize concepts and rules easier when I have the correct way to deal with them 

Strategically preparing for assignments 

Preparing for assignments is something i’ve never been good at, no matter what I would underestimate the size of the test / project and I would end up underprepared and underperforming, I’ve found ways to schedule time to study for my assignments and tests, and it’s showing. 

Learning and using math vocabulary

Math vocabulary is hard to remember, since you don’t use words like “cosine” or “cubed root” on a daily basis, so it’s hard to really compound it into your memory. A tool that really helped me was flashcards. Flashcards helped me compound phrases in french, and the same thing applies to math, it helped me learn all of those weird words, as well as what they do and mean.

My advice to future students?

This course is going to take a lot of work and you should start studying in the summer, because every mark will count. And if you don’t feel sure about something while you’re in a lesson, ask questions, it’ll save you from falling behind and not understanding a crucial building block.
