Carpe Diem!

Craig mentioned in his BOB:
Anyway, this is the last unit and from now on it's all exam review.
It may seem like it's far away (a little less than a month), but there are ONLY 8 MORE CLASSES!!! So the intense studying should probably begin.... NOW!


How's your hold on calculus?

BOB

Woah! We had the test moved back two days and I still almost forgot.
But yes, this last unit has been okay mainly because it is just an elaboration on material we've already covered.
However, I believe the hardest part for me is that we started it quite a while ago. It's almost been a month since we began the unit.
But, it's nothing a little studying won't fix.
I'm trying to think of the parts that are most challenging, but none seem to stick out. I think the place where I'll make my mistakes is on the tricky little curves Mr. K. enjoys throwing into the tests =P
Anyway, this is the last unit and from now on it's all exam review.
It may seem like it's far away (a little less than a month), but there are ONLY 8 MORE CLASSES!!! So the intense studying should probably begin.... NOW!

Good Luck to all on the test tomorrow, and good luck to all on the upcoming exam.

Keep On Pushing!

BOB ^ 9

Oh wow, I completely forgot about bobbing. Thankfully, I had to take a picture of the blog for a presentation, and at first glance the "Blogging on Blogging" title immediately jogged my memory. I also can't believe that there aren't that many BOB's up yet, especially considering the fact that I'm posting this at 1 A.M. Well anyways, on with my final BOB of the year (=.

It's been a crazy year crammed full of information, and this final unit was certainly no exception to working hard. This unit, differential equations, didn't prove too complicated since it basically solidified the connection between differentiation and integration / antidifferentiation by drawing upon all of the units we've covered so far in the year.

The most challenging idea in this unit is probably Euler's method, though I don't think that it will be that big of a deal on the test tomorrow. The other ideas included in this unit were slope fields, solving differential equations, separating the variables (which greatly aids the solving process) and Newton's Law of Cooling. I don't think that comprehending each idea on it's own was too difficult, though in the whole scheme of differential equations some questions (especially Mr. K questions xD) might prove troublesome. For me, this is particularly due to my lack of effort in committing myself to complete homework and consistently study the ideas in this unit.

I hope that I won't find too much difficulty with this test, and that I have enough time to study tonight and catch up on all that missed work over the past week or two. I hope that all of you will do the same, and I wish everyone good luck on the test tomorrow!

Blogging on Blogging

Oh my, it's test time tomorrow! Well, here for another bob (throws bob post onto large stack of bobs). This time it's for the test on Differential Equations! How exciting? Well anyway, this unit, like most of the other units had its ups and downs. With regards to my muddiest point, I would have to say that I don't have a specific problem. All that I'm worried about, like most of the times is the battle against time, by trying to make everything click on the test. Thats the thing though, tests aren't as difficult. Well what I'm trying to say is, the solutions aren't as bad as we usually think, but the difficult thing is, figuring the key solution that would unlock insight to finding the final answer. Asides from the likes of that, theres also remembering to attempt to solve a question using as little time as possible (such as taking advantage of your calculator). Well, thats all i really have to say about this unit! Good luck everyone! I hope people remember to bob, cause I almost forgot =(

The last BOB

Well, this unit was one of the small units that we had done although I still say the smaller the units the harder they are. Especially for this unit, I am still a little nervous going into this test as I still cannot wrap my head around Euler's method, it is very confusing to understand although I am still studying it. Another spot I am having a little bit of trouble is with the anti differentiating first-order and second-order equations although that also is a working progress which I should have figured out by tomorrow. Well good luck everybody for tomorrow's test and good luck.
