Week 5 - Reflection on Thursday, Oct. 2

I thought today was very productive and went at a pace that was comfortable for most (if not all) of the class. I thought having the step-by-step directions on the 'Completing the Square' worksheet was really helpful. Then, going over the questions in class helped solidify those new ideas in my mind and I really liked how the pace wasn't too fast but it also wasn't too slow.

I think today was a very beneficial day because everyone (both Mr. Jackson and students alike) made an effort in the classroom. From my observations, Mr. Jackson slowed down in his explanations and had us really look at what was happening in the problems we were doing. I also noticed that students were really trying to understand the concepts in class by asking questions and asking for clarification when needed.

Overall, I thought that today was very productive. I feel like I learned a lot today. I feel confident in the material we're learning and I hope there will be more days like this one!
