The past few weeks in the class has been something I have not experienced before. I usually do very well in classes, I normally understand concepts and complete them to the best of my ability. I have never have a major struggle with any school work, until this class. I am used to just looking for the answer and then once I get the answer I could truly care less about how I got the answer, as long as I got the credit for the right work and right answer. This class has turned that all upside down for me, which I feel is something that all students should experience. The way you teach math is the way that math should be taught, I am actually building on my knowledge instead of just "floating" through the class with the correct finished product. In the past few weeks I have really been testing my knowledge with a different way of thinking, even though it is extremely frustrating that it does not just come to me, I feel that I will benefit from this class. While sitting in class I try to think of ways to teach like you, as in to really get my students thinking, not just saying "here is the answer."
