Abby, Nick, Dominic D.E.V



-Dominic's Reflection
Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?
I struggled with these types of problems in the past, so i figured i would show an example of the problem to show the progress I've made and what I've learned.
How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?
They contain the areas that I struggled in.  Once I learned the material correctly, i was then able to build problems with it. I can go through and explain every step easily, which i couldn't do in the past.
Did you learn anything from this assignment?
This assignment wasn't much help for me, it seemed like a filler assignment.  I would have liked to spend more time reviewing other material for tests and the exam.  However, it was a great experience working with the group and trying to create our own problems from scratch.  It was certainly a challenge, but a good one.

Abby's Reflection
Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?
I chose the problems that i exceeded at and understood well so that i could accomplish the task of writing a problem myself.
How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?
These problems are ones that i understood and could explain out as if i was teaching and explaining to a new student.
Did you learn from this assignment?
In some ways I benefited from this but mostly it put stress on me in a time that all students have a lot of stress already. I think that it would have helped greatly if this project was introduced at the beginning of the tri so that we could write problems for each unit rather than having to do it all at once. It did not seem to improve upon my knowledge of the problems, instead it caused more stress and pressure during the beginning of exam week.

Nick's Reflection
Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?
The concepts i chose were chosen by me in the order that i understood them the most and would need the least help on.

How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?
i took the problems as far as i could to my understanding so i would be able to explain them as well as possible.

Did you learn anything from this assignment?
yes! i picked up on some things i didn't pay too much attention to during class and this project has helped me a ton!
