| Quote | We work in groups every day on chapters the Professor and his colleagues have put together just for us. With the lessons, it feels like he purposely starts off with the irrelevant, basic steps then the problems become a little more difficult as the packe | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I am an English major. I know I’ve said this before, but that’s relevant to what I have to say. While being interviewed for the video, I said that I had re-thought my ideas about Math majors; that I hadn’t been completely won over by the mathemati | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I was just taking this class to get the grade and to get another chunk of my core done and over with.Looking back I realize how foolish my thinking was. I did not sign up for a typical math class, I signed up for a thinking and reasoning class that utili | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | Through reading Paul Lockhart's A Mathematician's Lament I have taken away a major lesson that only helped to highlight the importance of the work we did in the classroom every day. That lesson is that "There is nothing as dreamy and poetic, nothing as r | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | This math class is one of the first times I actually enjoyed being in a math class. It wasn't necessarily the material that made me like the class, but the overall experience. There were many times throughout the semester where I did not even feel like | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | Another odd, but unique aspect of this class was the write up and/or reflections that were required after finishing up a particular unit. Confucius, a great Chinese philosopher, once said, ``he who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but d | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I thought that the teacher would just stand up at the board and write a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't understand and then we would have a big test on it and I would fail. To my surprise, it was nothing like that. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | This class was truly unique. It was unlike any other class I have ever had. I had fun during class, and I learned from it at the same time. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I've always been good at math but I get board with courses like precalculus. Since I don't have any interest I don't want to learn it. What's unique about this course is the material we study actually means something to me. I can see how it's applied in t | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I had originally thought that my professor would be that of the likes of my Algebra 2 teacher. She had made us feel humiliated in front of the class if we did not know the answers. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | It made it less mundane than an ordinary math class with a professor mumbling into the blackboard and not really helping any students. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I really said these things to a friend when he asked about the class. So, believe it or not, you were right, I did end up liking the class. You win. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I can't say that my feelings about mathematics have changed. I think that this course was just an exception. I can still remember back to taking math tests in high school... | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I used to think that mathematics was all about adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers and letters and that I would never have any real use for it at all. This class has really made me more optimistic towards mathematics. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | This course has gotten rid of my cynical point of view about math and taught me that it can be a beautiful subject. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | No one had to be shy about asking questions and if you helped out a fellow student you felt smart, like you had learned something in a math class. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | As the semester is about to end, the many weeks that I spent in your class were very educational, yet stress free. I have worked hard, like you said we would, but I feel that I really do understand the material and think that maybe all these years that I | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | I described math to my family and they could not believe that I was actually enjoying the class. Because they know that I have had math phobia since sixth grade. | jfleron | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
