Quiz 2

Yeah, so I just got done with this second quiz. Thank god it was take home because I would have gotten a 25% on it for sure. I had no idea about any of the information on this quiz. It took me like 2 1/2 hours at home just to do it. The information given to us was from all different parts of the book. There is no one specific part of our book we can study for the quizzes.
So, with that said. I have a feeling I will be barely passing this class this semester. This is the second quiz and both have been extremely hard. I am just not absorbing the information being taught in class. When I get home, I have no idea where to look at the information to use repition to help me learn because the course is not being taught by the book. Its jumping everywhere in everywhich direction.

"Quiz"

So we took a quiz last week. It didn't seem like a quiz at all. It felt like an exam. Granted they are not worth as much as an exam or regular test, but the information required to know was intense. We havn't recieved them back yet (should get them today). I'm kind of anxious to see what I got. I got back the bonus sheet and got all five correct. However, I am thinking I didn't do so good on the stuff we were supposed to know.
I am still trying to get used to this teaching style. It's not really working too well for me. I need to be able to somewhat follow along in a book so i can read/look at the pictures while being lectured. I'm not a good note taker. I write down all the stuff from the board, but when I go back to look at it later it looks like french. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will have taught myself how to learn with your teaching style.
