Im Doing good just a bit awkward with the time with class like i the fact that really can't take the test the second time with another class having a class as well.

Calculus going well with the fact that test aren't graded that highly. My other seems to be going well but can change with the test that are coming up.

The test was not that hard for the some of the question i knew how to start them but they were some questions that I could not really remember how to do or what to do next so I just left it blank just with the simply fact that I never worked through them like a hot topic so it flew past me. Besides that think the test was great the homework and hot Topic help me worked through some of these question but the ones that we work on early was not on my mind so i just could not work it out.

The Hot Topic Presentations are going fine for me I only really need sometimes since its always a new topic.

My way of doing it is just solving the problem and then figure how I solve and Why is Right. Which just help me better understand the topic at hand. Same with doing some homework and asking the some questions. Which just helped me understand and know what I'm talking about.

I find the Hot Topic presentation are a great way of me getting an understanding of the subject at hand. I know this pretty true right now simply because the question that were given in the test that were on the Hot topic list were easy and I knew right off the bat how to solve it

The main thing that is helpful to me is the walking through how to solve of are question like a quick lessons and run down of what to do. Also what not to do this just helps full stop with the hot questions as well because I know what to be asking if i was struggle and what question to ask to be shown.

The Videos are fine but I sometimes find my self not watching them. May just be me with wanting to quickly get my work done and just being impatient and just skipping around skimming through the text. Simply because I feel like I'm wasting time with having to do Homework and my other classes work so I get the feeling of finishing it as quickly as possible. However, it does help get the info across and mostly likely gets everything through nicely but i guess with the amount of videos and text sometimes just seems like a lot. Something that really be fix since its a balance act between getting all the info needed and making sure it does it in a way it gets the student doing the work and actually paying attention. With that being said i think they fine that's it.

I have yet to look into the recordings but the notes that i have token i have look back on quite often. Manly because the problems shown and solved are the ones that we are solving. Which unlike the videos they go through some Easy problems and that just does not help me understand the approach and how to work it through. However, with the cold session its a problem that I've seen and was confused about it the videos did not help so the cold Sessions or the notes can clear up my misunderstanding.

The study group is great to get Hot topic question help and to get them done with a clear understanding same with homework. Which I think is fine I feel like they should be times where its about solving some question that we may not give a focus on since we are so tunnel on the topic question so that a test comes around and its not a unknown problem.

To start it off I normally kind of do my work "late" like in Friday or at least start it on Wednesday with my group. Mostly because of other class and just being lazy. But I'd start looking through the lessons it would take me at least 30 mins to look through read and watch some videos to great a look at how the problems look like and to see how to solve. From they I'll do some homework questions I try my best to get at least 10 unanswered questions so if they is 30 questions so I'll do 20 questions. After that look for my Hot topic question and work it through.

Nope. No real reason if i had to give one it would be that I'm Really struggle with the math and another would be that I just don't like have all my time taken up with school work. With the idea of just constantly working on something would burn me out. Stress would mess with sleep and just feel awful if i was working all day (i have like 3 days off a week). Granted that just means I'll go if Its needed if the lessons are not making sense then yes I'll go for it.

Don't be to lazy find some time early on in the week to work through the lessons and Homework than work on the Hot topic question later in the week so if Tuesday is free week take an hour to work through ten questions (or just do all of it if possible) so that Later in the weekend the only thing that's left is The hot topic question and it should not be an issue if you went through the lesson and homework.

I guess for would be more importance in homework / Group work. Meaning have some homework question solved with work shown through the group making it so that if your group cares about getting an understanding and getting the work done together. Also is a great way to great some of the non-hot topic question subjects be as important to know how to work through and preps people for the test with those questions.

Well the only thing that I'd have to say is that I won't be able to take the test tomorrow. Mostly cause i have a second test tomorrow so bad timing. Another thing is that the first Document i sent over did not have my id in it i sent a second one with my id in it. I also forgot to write my Emplid on the pages so that second one have 2 last photos with my id hope that's good enough just forgot slip my mind.

Last one: This Test was a little awkward with the two days could they be a time when we pick the days for us to take the test and hopefully some type of review before the test.
I ask of these two things simply because I had issues solving some of the problems and noticed that we never had a review so i simply forgot about it. The another is simply Two better day that fit the classes schedule for me the weekend would work for me since i have no classes then and Mon-thurseday is busy for me.

That it for me nothing really to add on Hope you have a great week and hope my test work was alright for the first one.

If my members in my grouped change would feel a little odd since I already comfortable with my members and we have systems that works for us.

As the pandemic goes on I have been learning to cope with it and adapting to the online classes.

Calculus II is going fine for now. The other classes are going fine.

Test #1 was a fair test. Most of the questions were similar to the homework and hot topic questions. I should’ve prepared more because I ran out of time and missed some questions.

The HOt topics are going fine I need to work on correcting minor mistakes.

When I prepare for the presentation I do the question multiple times. I feel the way I prepare for now is fine as the semester goes on i may change how I prepare. I need to be more organized on how I present my work.

I prefer the HOT topics. The reason is if you are able to present it shows you have the knowledge on what to do for the presentation.

The cold sessions are helpful because it helps me keep track on what needs to be done in the class.

I use the course hub to see what assignments need to be done. I usually watch the videos and go along with the examples then work on some of the homework questions. If I do not understand something fully I look at the textbook and look for more videos on certain topics.

I have not looked at the recordings yet for the cold sessions.

Meeting with my study group has helped alot with my hot topic presentations. I am able to get advice and feedback on how to improve my presentations.

For this class I check the course hub in the start of the week and do lessons as the week goes on. I split the work so about an hour or 2 a day for the class. The hot topic will depend on how much I understand a lesson.And on Wednesday my group and I spend the class time helping eachother and completing the group assignments.

I have not attended tutoring yet but after the test I am planning to start going more.

I would say to spend as much time as possible and make sure you understand the topics.

I do not have any suggestions for modifications.

I wouldn’t mind if the groups changed.

Al-Shawkani

I am honestly struggling to find balance between all of my online classes and other commitments outside of school.

I honestly feel like I am really behind and the class is a bit fast paced for me. My other classes are doing okay besides linear algebra because keeping up with both math classes is a challenge, because for me they are both a little too high level for me.

I know I didn't pass. The easy part for me was the fact that it was open note test. The hard part for me was that it was timed. I personally don't work well under a time limit and become too anxious when takings tests. I wasn't adequetly prepared for the test but thats my fault. However I did have three tests within the same two days and it was hard to prepare for all of them.

I am behind, but I do feel like I will be able to catch up soon. What I feel like I need help with is knowing the type of questions that will be asked.

I usually do the problem on scrap paper first by following along to an example in a youtube video. Then I practice the problem in the way I would teach somebody how to solve the problem. The presentation part is going well, however I feel like I need to personally understand the subjects clearer in general.

Yes, I honestly do. I feel like I am actually forced to understand how a problem is solved and why its solved like that as ooposed to just trying to memorize the formulas. I also like the fact that if we don't exactly nail the problem we have another chance to redeem our grades. Quizzes also somtimes put you on the spot because you can be studying for hours on something and the quiz would be on something else.

Going over the problems we didn't understand is definitely helpful.

I honestly don't. I feel like I sometimes don't have enough time so I would rather look at youtube videos that are a few minutes long.

To be honest, not that much. The part that helps is figuring out which hot topics belong to which problems but I prefer to work individually. However, I do appreciate being given time in class to work on group assignments because making time outside of class is difficult with everybodys schedules conflicting.

I am going to be honest and say I don't spend enough time, which is something I am constantly trying to work on. The part that I work on the most is hot topics. I typically spend a few hours making the hot topic presentation and study that day and the next in order to prepare. Meeting with my classmates is only dont during wednesdays group sessions. What is not working for me is not doing my rederly homework and individual assignment on time. Sometimes I get too overwhelmed to start because I am a full time student and working and I put it off and decide its not a priority because it is worth only ten percent.

No I haven't ,the time I am free is the night and I am trying to complete assignments for other classes. In general it has never been a habit so its not something I ever tried.

To start everything in advance. I think waiting last minute to catch up makes everything harder.

I think instead of having the homework due before the classes on sunday night, if they were due on monday night instead it would make a huge difference for me. Another thing is while I do find the individual assignments to be beneficial, I think sometimes they add on just another task on top of everything that doesn't completely focus on the course load.

To be honest my home life is a very difficult environment to work in. I am currently working and I am a full time student. I am also taking two math classes which sometimes makes things confusing. Whenever I have assignments or tests they are usually due on the same day. I am not using these as excuses just as a justification to why I am sometimes not able to complete certain tasks. Obviously it is up to me to catch up but these are the challenges I face and I am more than sure other students are facing as well.

I would not like that, I feel as though with online classes it just makes things more challenging working with groups that I already don't know in person. To change that I feel would be pointless unless my group members didn't help with the work.

Christopher

This is the only class i could take right now so its going ok

i did pretty bad on the first try. Even though i know how to do everything i cant decide on what to use without some help most of the time

Breakdown the problem into steps while i do it

The presentations are a lot less pressure than written work

The explanations of the class is helpful but we already did a majority of the hw so doing a review of most of the questions is good.

i spend friday to sunday working on all the work and reading all the notes from the text and lesson. Usually afterwards the hot topic is simple. We only talk in the session.Doing the textwork has been good but the group hasnt helped me much

Review the lecture to get a general idea before we learn it on out own or pre recorded mini lectures on it at some point before like an explanation

Pena Batista

I do each problem like 2 times before presentation

Yes i feel im learning more with the hot topic

i see every lesson and watch every video while copying so i can learn what is lesson about

to spent more time in each lesson and do all the homeworks

i would feel ok if there is any changed

Hernandez

I feel like this class is going better than i thought, so yes things are going well so far

I did really bad this test, the only "easy" part about it was that i know the material enough to solve them, the very hard part was the time, cause the only reason i did bad was the time restrain, I needed WAY more time for solving the rest for the problems. I only answered half of them. So maybe some more time would defiantly be helpul.

I feel the HOT topic presentations are going very well, it's such a good way to check in on each student on their calc skills and see where they're at. No to mention, you get tons of time to prepare.

I feel my preparations are working quite well, i solve the problem first and then solve it again out loud, explaining what i did to myself.

A presentation is way better then the quiz, cause it's not that intimating, but rather a calm 1 on 1 class between u n the prof, I prefer this way much more.

What is helpful is to ask any questions we have about specific examples, the downside is it's only once a week.

The course hub is VERY useful to what i need to prepare and learn the material, but there are times where i do use outside help to understand it more.

yes the recordings are and notes are VERY useful

The group was pretty okay when getting help from other questions i didn't get

I spend about 2 to 2 hrs and a half when going over the material and videos and hw.

Look over and takes lots of notes on how to do each type of question and be organized

More time in the tests, that is all because that's the only issue i have so far, I need more time

So far everything is going great! But again the time in the tests, More time would be very helpful, Because I understand the material but the time goes so fast when solving those big lengthy problems. When you're done solving, BOOM it's already been 20 minutes. So more time would be appreciated.

it changed a lot in a good way, we're much more open to help each other

Berroa-Wisky

How am I doing? Glad you asked. I'm surviving, that's what I'm doing, like always. I could be well, I could be miserable and annoyed (not depressed), but overall, I am horribly distracted. Now the next question, am I struggling? I am indeed.

It's going and it's pretty hectic, this class consumes much of my time and I am struggling to balance my time with two classes I am currently enrolled in.

I did alright on Test #1 and yes, the test was a bit challenging to say the least. Somewhat yes I felt prepared for the test.

The HOT Topics presentations are going well. Honestly, I sometimes do not know how to explain the notations in full sentences and that's what I need more help with.

I usually prepare my HOT Topics presentations by writing sentences corresponding to the step-by-step solution. Yes, I do feel I have prepared enough to give a successful presentation.

Yes I am, I am learning the material more efficiently when I give HOT Topics presentations and no, HOT Topics presentations are not like weekly quizzes, absolutely not; except, they are more like presentations in class where one does the problems and have to explain it to the professor and the classmates in front.

I can't find anything unhelpful about COLD sessions honestly. The only thing helpful about COLD sessions is the review of the lessons.

Yes I do feel the lessons and videos provided helps my assignments and also I seek outside resources online on few education websites, e-books, and tutorial videos because these weren't included in the weekly checklist blogs.

I never looked into the recordings of COLD sessions but I've looked at the session notes on once or twice. The notes came in handy, the lesson review recordings were able to clarify the struggle I addressed although I only look at them during Zoom meeting sessions.

A week in MAT 1575 is colossal because I am heavily invested in this class, reading lessons, skimming through textbook, working on WeBWork by writing solutions without trying or having to resort to cheating. I actually I don't schedule a rehearsal for the HOT Topics presentation and I spend time with my classmates the usual time frame 'till we upload HOT Topic problems online on the OpenLab blog website.

I have not yet attended tutoring but eventually I will attend.

The advice I would give to another student wishing success in this class is: practice all different problems over and over again to the mere point of grasping them (regardless of how tedious it can be).

To be honest, I am open to changes of study group memberships. If one wants to switch from one group to another, so be it.

Overall I am still hanging on, but I would prefer if the webwork hws could be reopened after we went over the lessions in class.

Before the exam, I was confident that I could do at least half of the questions. And I was able to do that. I am a little slow on getting the concept so I have to review the material multiple times.

I would like to do it better, I need to improve in using the right words to describe to work.

Now, I am improving. I just had to watch the class videos again. Plus, if I do the HOT Topic problem multiple times, with trial and error, I learn where I am making a mistake in.

No, the presentation is better. From the presentation I get a lot of time , and I can get a feedback on the spot and not have to worry about remembering the problem from the quiz a week or 2 later.

It is helpful to listen to the areas other people are having a problem on.

The lessons and videos prepare for us is helpful, but I still look at other videos on the topic to better understand what I am doing.

I look at the recordings of COLD sessions, it is very helpful.

The study group is helpful , we talk about the problems we are struggling on.

reading the lessons: 2-3 hours
spend working on WeBWorK: 1 and half hours
HOT Topics presentation: 3 hours
spend meeting with your classmates: about 2 hours

I haven't went yet, I had someone I know explain some of the parts to me.

yeah I'm doing fine and not struggling much.

It's going great. So far I enjoy all my classes.

I feel I did great in the test. It was a bit easy due to the hot topic presentations which prepared me to understand each question and the details in how to solve it. The hard part it that it was Time consuming. But overall I felt prepared.

The Hot Topics presentations are going great so far.

I try to review the question a couple times before the presentation.

I find it better than the quiz due to go through the questions foundation and learning each necessary step to solve it.

It's helpful because we go through the questions together and ask things that we couldn't understand when doing the questions alone.

I use both the course hub and outside resources to expand my knowledge and try to find easier ways to solve a question to deal with the timing.

I look at the Cold session notes from time to time to see what I had to do when answering a tough question.

Yeah it has helped. Having other people give me help on how to solve a question.

I spent like 2 hours on notes and webwork. I spend 30 min on the hot topic presentation. I spend the meeting time during Wednesday meetings. Everything's is working so far for me.

I don't attend tutoring. I don't have time for it.

Just look over the notes provided in the course hub they usually have answers to questions similar to yours.

uncomfortable since I got use to my group.

Murtazayeva

To be honest, I am struggling to keep up with all the assignments plus 5 other main course I take.

Calculus II is probably the most I am worried about. The order classes I hanging in there, are going smoothly. With all the online websites to take control of, it is confusing.

I felt like I was prepared best to my abilities, I believe I passed, but may not be with the highest grade. I am still trying to work out my schedule to go to tutoring.

I need more help with time management, they are going fine lately.

I prepare them week ahead, they are very organized and prepared. But I loose confidence as I begin to speak, all the prepared work becomes mess.

I do not enjoy speaking in person, I tend to write more and learn visually than tactile and speaking.

Helpful because the sessions keep you updated. not helpful spending more time explaining the due dates rather than spending time on helping out with homework problems.

Not all the course hub lessons answer my problems from rederly. They are hard to differentiate.

I would like us to take time to help with each other's presentations.

I spend at least 8 hours a week for this class. within and with out the class.

With the time I have right now, I was not able to, yet.

I really appreciate the favor of rescheduling the HOT topic presentations. It helps to manage my time and help out at work too.

Calculus 2 is my only class this session and not very well, trying my best to understand material

Some questions were only easy due to lessons others were still confusing got a 50% on it

I haven't had a presentation since the first, I plan to do double standards to maybe triple for the coming weeks

I havent prepared for any yet but for the future i plan to write out what i did beforehand and then redo for the presentation.

This type of learning doesn't really work for me as I am unreliable of teaching myself things. It definitely has been a hard process of trying to attempt this type of learning as this was the first class that has taken this approach.

Whats helpful is going over questions from the past week, yet also whats unhelpful is the time wasted trying to explain openlab rather than going over the Calc Aspect of the class yet its due to the approach of the class learning.

I seek for outside resources/ the videos for most of my questions/assignments because visually it helps me understand what i need to understand and do.

It's sorta helpful and unhelpful because if there are questions present that need assistance it is helpful but otherwise it seems like a waste when there aren't any.

As my week is pretty busy, I havent put enough time into Calc 2 as i should but trying to manage to push for better results.

I haven't nor attend tutoring regularly because I havent found the right times for me also i havent been actively looking for it.

To put more time into the lessons/ questions to help grasp the understanding of the material. Also Alot of visual aid helps understand alot .

I dont have anything on the top of my head to suggest besides possibly more visual aid.

mohammed

I am struggling not only this class but all the classes I am taking this year.

Its not going as I planned to be honest, I feel like its harder than it should be and I don't mean the understanding the math itself.

I prepared for the test but the time was not enough which made me rush through them.

I just watch the videos and solve my question with my understanding form the videos so sometimes my explanation don't contain the technical names for the things I do, I just know how they work.

The hot topics are fine m always push me to do more research to understand them so thats good.

Its helpful but I wish there was a teacher to help us with tougher questions because I personally learn form watching add adding to my knowledge while I am stuck really helps because its like overcoming obstacles and it gives me some sense of victory which is some of the things keeping me going in these tough times.

I always seek outside sources but I try not to use their different ways of solving the questions because its not on the course hub.

Not yet I haven't had the need to revisit the notes and I take my own notes too.

I would say we help each other with presentations and assignment. Usually the one who understands most takes the lead.

It takes too much much time especially with the home work. It feels like I am in a research class sometimes.

not yet haven't had the time as I started the semester late.

I don't know because I feel like I am failing this class maybe because all this is new for me.

As I said earlier maybe I am not just used to this way of learning but I will try to keep up and it not we still move.

I have been complaining for a while now but not anymore, I am facing reality as in the future I will be facing similar things. So no.

I am used to them I don't want to change them and its too late to get to know new people again. plus my group are very good at contribution and I have been in different groups and they weren't easy.

Calc is going much worse than my other classes because I’m not used to being so on my own when it comes to lessons

Fine, once I understand the topic I have no problem presenting it. It’s the helping to understand where I feel this class is lacking

The large amount of time spent not doing math is quite unhelpful

The lessons and videos are a poor substitute for a teacher teaching

No. I’d much prefer it be disbanded and the time used for lessons

Pegdwende

Ouedraogo

I am ok and I am trying my best to hang in there

It is going well but it’s overwhelming with all my other classes combined.

It was easy at some parts and at some hard parts, I feel like I came prepared but since I have taken a math class online before it feels different and weird which I had to take a second test to get a better feel of the test.

For my hot topic I can manage , it make think about how I use to do problems on the board when I was asked to come to the board.

I usually practice the question before the hot topic presentation days before then refresh my memory.

I can see as like a quiz, whether it is a written quiz I would preform the same , since I am use to it.

Cold sessions help with understanding the topic more in depth, covering things we don’t understand.

The video in the course hub as very helpful for me understanding the assignments

Since I take pictures and screenshot of the problems done in classes, it helps me understand more similar problem I have.

In our study group we help each understand how we can solve the problem which increases our knowledge on the problem we have.

I usually don’t have enough time for studying much because of other classes work , rederly homework and work which take up much my time, to practice the hw , which make it so stressful. I would have like if the rederly hw be all open until the semester old and new. This would help me have less stress in worrying much.

No I haven’t attended tutoring because I don’t really have a problem solving the problem and also the way my schedule is set up make it so hard.

I would say, just keeping until the end never gives up. Give it 110% until the end.

I wouldn’t like it because it would feel different

I think calculus II is going a lot better than I anticipated. I expected to struggle a lot more than I am. My other classes are good as well. Just can't wait to be done and get my degree!

It wasn't too bad. I first struggled figuring out which approach to use for the equations but after doing a few I knew, it was easier

I think my HOT topic presentations are going great

I usually go over the equation and how I solved it before we meet. I think its a really good system that has worked so far. I think I just need to find a way to write everything down more clear and concise

No I actually really like doing the presentations! I'm typically a VERY shy person so doing these presentations has gotten me more comfortable with talking face to face with others and I believe is improving my communication skills since I have to be pretty clear about what I want to say

Cold sessions really help nail in the online homework and help me better understand the lessons.

I feel like the lessons and videos are really helpful especially the ones with examples you can pause and try or get a walk through

Yes! I look at the recordings if I have any questions that I'll need to get answered for HOT topic presentations

It has helped a lot. My study group is really good at helping each other solve problems and figure out exactly where we went wrong. They also are really helpful with HOT topic presentations since some students have the presentation earlier than others so we have a clear idea of what youll be asking

I tend to read the lesson and watch the videos right before I plan on doing the homework so I have a guide on the side to help me through any questions. I spend maybe 3 hours studying a week and about 30 minutes on my hot topic presentation, depending on how hard the question is

No, I haven't attended and to be honest, I'm not exactly sure why.

I would suggest watching the videos on the lessons and pausing the examples before they walk through solving them. Repeat a few times until you can do it without the video telling you the next step. Then find a similar question on the homework and try it.

I would be pretty sad I like my study group
