Summary of the class

I found this class very informational, but confusing and even frustrating at times. The material covered was interesting and was a great refresher of processes that I learned in elementary and junior high. The biggest issue I had with the class was only having one test. There were 120 pages of notes to go over and 32 questions on the exam. I didn't think that the knowledge I learned was well represented in the test. I am happy that you are trying to prepare us for the future, but it was really confusing.

Summary of the class

When I first came into this class I thought it would just be like every other methods class and I will not learn a thing. So I started the class by not really caring what was going on. The fact that this class challenged all of us I think took us all back a little bit too. We aren't use to being challenged and not understanding so much information like for this class. I have no realized how important this information really is when it comes time for me to teach. I wish I would have payed better attention in class so that I could be more familiar with these concepts and then be able to teach them to my students. I feel like these are important aspects to teach to students and very important ones too.
