New Insights and Their Implications

So far this is a very challenging course. I have never been a fan of math, and I am trying my hardest to learn math in this new approach. I am not very good at thinking outside of the box. There are times in class where I am completely lost and struggeling to make sense of the lecture and projects. I can see the importance of this class by observing Dr. Reins. I understand how important it is for students to be able to think for themselves and engage in the learning process in which they can create solutions by themselves, by using the material and information given. I can see now, that the teacher needs to help them think, but not walk them through the problem step by step and give them the answer. I have learned so much new material, in this short amount of time. In reading the book, there is so much information, that it can be overwhelming at times. But, it is material that we need to know. I know that this class is going to be tought; I just need to gain as much of the material as I possilby can. So I can be a successful teacher for my students.
