Sophomore IM 3/ Pre Calculus

This was an Edulastic based on what we were learning at the time and what we had learned so far. I did badly on this test purely because of my irresponsibility and not studying for it the previous night, since i thought that I was confident with all of the topics on the test. If I studied the previous night on the topics I wasn't sure of, then I would've gotten a much better grade. For some reason I really didn't really reflect on the grade I got on it until now, and this has been a huge learning experience for me and how I need to be more responsible. For all of this, I'd consider this assignment a grow.

This assessment was pretty simple, with us just needing to do long division, which is a topic I am actually good at and understand. nothing on it was really anything I wasn't completely sure about. All things considered, I'd say this assignment is a glow (even though I still am reflecting on how I did on prior test).

For this assessment, we had to solve an equation, however, everything on it was a radical. The topic of radicals was one that I was fairly bad at, with me not understanding most of the rules. Despite this however, with quite a bit of time and effort, I was able to get a sufficeable grade. I messed up a lot of basic things most of the thing, such as not adding variables correctly or completely simplifying the answer, but a 90 is still a good, so i'd consider this assignment a glow.

This assessment required us to simplify an extremely long equation, using what we know from exponent rules and what we know about them.A rule for this assessment was to have no negative exponents in your answer, to which I didn't exactly know how to deal with that, which definitely hurt my final answer quite a bit.  Despite me knowing exponent rules fairly well, it was still extremely difficult, as it was hard to do some of the math for the exponents. The bottom was not too hard to figure, with me just doing some simple math, and the top was not that bad as well despite being  somewhat harder. The thing that really hurt was getting rid of the negative exponents that screwed me over, and hurt my final answer, which still had negative exponents. For these reasons, I'd consider this assessment a grow, and I believe I should make sure I've reviewed everything on a topic before taking a test.

For this assignment, we had to solve when a car's value would change or how much it would change. This test was primarily revolving around exponential functions, and was sort of a refresher into them. Even though I thought I was going to do bad on this assessment, I actually did really well on it surprisingly well on it. I was expecting to do bad due to the fact that I didn't think I was good at exponential functions, since I had trouble with them beforehand, and I was expecting the same for this assignment. I also rushed it a bit at the end as well. It all clearly worked out though, as I was able to get a 100 on the test. For this reason, i'd call this assignment a glow.  

This assignment is what it says, with it being a quiz about Logarithms and Exponents. This assignment was much more confusing for me than the Car Problem, since it also involved logarithms and more complex exponents, which I didn't entirely understand. This caused a lot of the problems that I answered to be wrong, mostly by messing up the multiplication or division of numbers with exponents. Unfortunately for me, this was the majority of the quiz. For these reasons, i'd consider this assignment a grow, and I hope to improve my studying habits in the future, because this could've been avoided if I prepared better.

This assessment was to test our knowledge of ln, by giving us a variety of questions to answer. Basically, it was just a regular test. Despite it not being anything out of the ordinary, I am actually fairly proud of this assignment. One reason for this being that I actually got a good grade on this assignment, and I feel as if that demonstrates my growth as a student. this assignment also wasn't that hard to do, since I also understood the material better as well unlike past assignments. Overall, I feel as if this assignment is a glow, not because it was that unique or challenging, but instead because of how it showed how I grew as a student over time. 

This quiz was one of the many that we took to  test our memorization of the Unit Circle. This quiz in particular tested us on what the sine and cosine's were of certain radians. This proved to be fairly challenging for me, as I had thought that I had memorized the material fairly well, so seeing this caught me off guard. Although this whole situation is somewhat hypocritical of the glow, I simply just didn't memorize the material well enough unlike last time, causing me to naturally receive a lower score. For these reasons, i'd consider this assignment a grow, and things i would do to improve would be to try and review the material better.
