Personal Concerns and Next Steps

This course is helping me to deepen my understanding of math concepts, as opposed to other math classes. Other math classes are more traditional and only teach factual math and only show you how to find solutions to specific problems. I like how this course is forcing me to use hands-on problem solving.  I like how the mathematics is being shown in generalization and being shown using real world examples.  It was difficult at first, because this learning style is not what I was used to.  I think it will be beneficial for me to be able to solve problems myself, so that I can more effectively teach others how to solve math problems.  I like how we are able to discuss and build on each others' ideas during class discussion, because we can come up with different solutions for math teaching techniques.  My largest struggle with this class has been adapting to the new learning style, but I think in the long run it will be beneficial to me.
