On Using Technology
• Engaging topics might take away class time.
• Math syllabus is full.• Presenting all the math
principles and sample problems might not be the best approach.
• Students must become independent learners.

How to Succeed in Math
• The Professor telling us to practice each problem everyday and it worked.
• Pay attention in class and jot down notes. If I don’t understand the concept log into EDUCOSOFT and practice the tutorials.

Practice
• My key to success was to practice a lot and always come to class. I believe that if a student practices a lot, the student would not have a problem passing MAT 096.
