Since the first day of class in August, my professor informed us of the upcoming exam dates. I was happy to hear that he was having tutoring sessions where students from both of his pre-calculus classes would be able to attend. There were several resources already distributed on blackboard to prepare for the exam. My professor shared last year’s first fall and spring exam for the classes to review. The tutoring session was meant to clarify topics for the exam and to go over specific questions from the packet. I was more than excited to attend the tutoring session because I had questions about the earlier chapters. I made sure to have the packets and review sheets printed in advance. Approximately 20 to 25 students attended the tutoring session. My classmates asked similar questions that I was also struggling with and my professor was able to help me better understand the steps. I am hopeful that I will do well on the first math exam on Wednesday. This tutoring session covered topics like profit equation, word problems that involved completing the square, and questions where you have to find if the function is odd, even or neither. I plan on finishing the two practice exams and review sheet before Tuesday. Based on how well the tutoring session was on Thursday I anticipate attending further math tutoring sessions. I am more comfortable answering short answer questions and questions that do not allow calculators. I know that by utilizing the resources available by Baruch I will be able to succeed and familiarize myself with the content.
