Study Habits

1. In the past, mathematics was never such a problem in my life, although my study skills coincided with the Curve of Forgetting. In eleventh grade I started to see mathematical concepts which were not that easy to learn in one minute, so my grades lowered and I was concerned and interested to increase my studies but eventually I didn’t do any of what I planed. After reading this article, I notice that I should’ve change my skills in high school and I didn’t, so what is happening is that what I learn in an hour is completely eliminate of my mind in one week. I don’t review the subject we learn daily and for exams I don’t expend that much time studying, but I do like to do homework because it usually lets me a clear understanding of the material studying. If I follow these advices I know for sure that my grades will have a huge improvement and I will understand in a better way.
2. Throughout the year we’ve learned a lot of things, but what I’ve struggle the most with has been the interpretation of word problems to mathematical equations. At the beginning, I remember that I couldn’t figure out the reason of how those kinds of problems were solved. Inclusive, one of the word problems of the Pods that had to do with a cable across a river I wasn’t able to understand it properly.
