Unfortunately this week I got a C on my quiz and the frustrating thing but also the reassuring thing is that it was all simple mistakes. Fortunately, I get to retake this quiz because my mistakes were forgetting to label with the limit notation - which I did in all my homework but for some reason didn't do it on the quiz ? I don't know why. And then my other slip-up was on the C^3 because the limit approached infinity but super slowly and I didn't realize because I went through it too quickly. Good news is, I understand everything I did wrong on the quiz now, even the parts that weren't simple mistakes, I figured those out and feel confident about retaking the quiz. I felt very prepared for the test on Friday too, I studied Thursday night (and I have never ever studied for a math test) so I wasn't worried. However, there was some stuff about natural logarithms and fog(x) problems that we have not learned about and were stuff from last year that I didn't realize I would need to review. I'm hoping I still did okay besides these two problems but kicking myself in the butt for not reviewing better. You learn the most from your failures though! How does what I learned connect to previous topics and what might it be leading into

This week in AP Calc we learned our first section about limits. In the beginning of the week we took our review test over things we should have learned last year. The test was really easy but I did kind of bad on it which is frustrating but I will have to see on Monday what I did wrong. I know I'll do better on the next one because the content will be more fresh in my mind and I will make sure I am prepared. Next day we had a senior meeting during our hour so we were only in class for a little bit. On Thursday and Friday we took notes and did a lab testing the limits of functions. I remembered quite a bit from last year but taking notes on it Friday helped me grasp things I had forgotten or never learned. It was interesting doing the lab for the limits. I have never done a lab in a math class and am unsure my feelings about that concept. I think it will help me think outside the box instead of being told the type of problem it is and being given an example of exactly how I should go about solving it. Ultimately, I think it will help me grow as a math student. Next week, in order to become a better student I want to make sure I don't worry about looking silly and ask questions when I need the help.
