Week 5 blog post-first test

I am extremely disappointed with my test grade. I studied very hard and worked really hard and didn't get the outcome I wanted at all. It would really benefit me if we could learn at a slower pace so we can thoroughly learn things. It would also benefit me if we had more steps to solve problems and modeled a problem or two. I don't feel that I am learning or retaining information when we are learning something new everyday. I think it would help everyone if we spent 2-3 days perfecting and really learning a single topic rather than spending one day on it and then just going on to the next thing when we aren't ready to move on. I know that this class has a reputation to be more difficult but I think there are ways that could make it much easier and we should figure out what that is and execute those plans.
