Personal Concerns and New Insight
At the beginning of the year, I was not worried about this math class because math has always came easy to me. I expected this class to be like any other methods type course and expected to learn how to teach math. After the year has progressed, I feel like this class has nothing to do with math and has more to do with the thinking process in general. Sure, we are thinking about math but it involves thinking more outside teh box. I know I have learned information but I feel more confused and shambled after class. The quizzes are not a highlight of the class. I understand that they are designed to think outside of the box but I feel they are to confusing for ELED teachers. For example, I believe it was quiz 3 when not one person in the class correctly answered the first question on a quiz. I have not talked with one person in the class who has got a 100% on a quiz. The midterm is another topic that makes me want to pull my hair out. One hour and fifteen minutes was enough time for only TWO people finish the test. The proctor was not aware of allowing additional time to complete the test therefor in the last ten minutes I struggled to fill in the answers on the test and not have any blank. I feel the midterm was very unorganized. I am trying my best to stay positive about the course and I am sure it can only get better.
