My Calculus Midterm

for the entirety of your math career, youve never calculated a moment’s slope. you only use approximations based on numbers before and after the current moment. That is, of course, until you hit calculus, when everything becomes instantaneous. In calculus, you derive equations to find how things are changing in the now; no need to focus on anything that came before or after. A tendency toward instantaneous moments occurred multiple times junior year.

For a long time, I've been struggling with my grades and keeping up with my school work. In middle school, I had a lot of low grades and did not truly seem to care. My mom decided to assign me to a tutor every week to help bring my grades up, until halfway through my freshman year when I stopped due to the fact I didn't need the tutoring anymore. I was told that I was doing well enough that I could handle it on my own, which motivated me to start working diligently on my own. I was an average student at that point, I had mostly A's and B's with a C or two, but I hoped to prove that I could do more. I had to find a new way of dealing with my study and learning habits in order to efficiently work hard and achieve the grades I desired. My goal

I have made a schedule on what days I would be writing my papers for my other 3 classes. I also broke down the chapters I will be studying on different days for my algebra class. I don’t think it will be to hard because in high school I had to take 6 exams for all my classes. This year all I have to take is one physical in class exam. So this whole process will be different for me. To this day I still appreciate how prepared I came into college, in large parts thanks to my high school. If all goes well, I can finish my first semester with all A’s. Although the semester went by fast, there were days were it went by really slow. I’ve learned a lot in my first semester. Some things didn’t go as expected for me, but in the end it’s a lesson leaned. Lastly, next semester I will be having a new roommate. One of my roommates is transferring so I am assuming that they would place another girl in our room. I’m anxious to see who it is and how everything turns out. Hopefully everything works out because have good roommates is essential for a good college experience, in my opinion. Anyways these next 2 weeks I will be reviewing all my notes and writing all my papers. I know what the reward is for me if I everything goes well. I must finish the semester

Looking at school, I had an okay first semester. I started the morning with Algebra II and photography, which was a class I really enjoyed. Then my advisory is with the ASB officers and we either do homework or we talk about events we are planning for our school in the future. From lunch, I had AP U.S. History and then I'm a TA (teacher's assistant) for my mom and then go to yoga. Seems like I had an easy semester at first. Nevertheless, that was my feeling until the second semester came. I now have three hard classes in a row. That includes pre-calc and this class, Honor's English III, along with my AP U.S. History. I still TA for my mom and have yoga, but those three hard classes make academics a little

Overall, my first semester has been going pretty well. The semester is going like a roller coaster up, down, and fast. I have some bad days and some good days. Through this semester, I have many challenges I faced which I honestly did not want to face. Even though I just wanted to dodge or run away from the challenges, I still face them and fought through them. Some challenges I face this semester, hopefully not in the next, are procrastination, time management, and laziness. I have not only gone through challenges; I have also gone through successes. I am proud of turning assignments on time, passing tests and quizzes, completing my SCR points, and being involved in clubs. Being in Biomed has helped me grow as a student in the area of knowledge.

Being ignorant, I decided to continue my routine of not studying or rereading notes. Going into the second trimester is when I began to notice that I could not ignore the fact that I was plummeting most of my classes. I realized this by receiving my midterm in U.S. history, it was a one hundred multiple choice question test with an essay prompt. I had failed with a fifty five percent. I wondered how it affected my grade and noticed that I was failing two classes and was on the verge of failing two other classes. This is when I realized that it was critical to change my typical efforts of trying to pass classes.

In The New Yorker article College Calculus by John Cassidy, a lot of new information about college degrees and where we might be headed with college degrees was argued for. One point brought up, was that a lot of people are getting vocational degrees in order to appear much more valuable compared to other applicants in a job. I have often heard that the best type of degrees to get were those having to do with Doctoring, Lawyering, and other science fields. However when the article pointed out that businesses are hiring many people with vocational degrees, because businesses tend to want people to be able to communicate with their costumers, and with other people, I thought of the possibility of taking a class in speaking in college in order

I learned a lot in AP Calculus BC. It was a challenging class, but it was also fun and helpful. I am glad that I chose to take AP Calculus BC instead of another math class. The class was a rewarding experience for me.

Throughout the semester I have faced many difficult and different challenges. One major challenge has been to be acting as a single parent again. Recently my husband left for another deployment which has left me alone to care for our children. It has become my sole responsibility to take care of our children and transport them to and from daycare. I also have to make sure I have childcare lined up if I pick up shifts at work. Another thing that has fallen on my shoulders is the responsibility of all of the housework. Instead of having my husband's help with cleaning and putting laundry away, I now have to rely on myself, which I hate. Another challenge I have faced this semester is getting back into a good school routine. When I left high school

My mind searching for the answers. What did this mean? I thought to myself. Right now i’m taking my AP Calculus test which I completely forgot to study for. I’m in all AP classes and I honestly don’t understand anything in any of my classes. But if I fail this class, my mom will lose it on me again. Unfortunately this is a daily routine, I fail something, my mom gets on my about it and tells me to try harder, and then yells at my dad about me being so unintelligent. All my life I have been told to get good grades so I can get a scholarship to a good college. My mom wants be the successful one in my family because my father isn’t quite the right type for having success. After getting fired from a lawyer's office, my dad just gradually started

​ In my classes, I am doing well but I am still struggling. I am keeping up with the people in my classes. My grades are are fair but I have trouble maintaining them. My current GPA is a 3.0. I struggle in my classes especially English and Engineering. The actions I am willing to take is to study and do my homework every night. By midterms I should be able to know formulas and writing tips that will help me during the tests. In English, I have trouble with the essays and sometime understanding what the prompt is asking. To make sure I am not "rolling the dice" on my grades, I will check my grades often. If I see that my grade has dropped I will make sure I turn in missing assignments and also doing test corrections. My grades connects

As a student, school is probably the most stressful part of every day. Sometimes, it is all you can think about. “Will I get this homework finished”, “Oh no, we have a project due tomorrow”, and the dreaded “I forgot to study for my test!.” If you have ever said that last one, you probably ended up cramming a full chapter’s worth of material into one night or even that morning. You begin worrying about your grade because you

On January 5, 2000, Phoenix Research and Trading, a Toronto-based hedge fund management group, issued a hastily prepared press release. The firm stated that one of its traders, Stephen Duthie, had lost $7.4 million in unauthorized trading in its publicly traded Phoenix Hedge Fund LP, with the losses originating from a feeder fund called the Phoenix Fixed Income Arbitrage Limited Partnership.
