What is your year in school and major?
I'm a MathEd major in my senior year here at BYU.
Which post-calculus math courses have you taken?
I've taken Math 190, 214, 315, 334, 343, and 362.
Why are you taking this class?
Well, it's required by my major. Honestly, I would never have picked it myself. I know it's going to be a lot of work for me - I struggle with courses that rely heavily on proofs. Proofs have just never come easily to me.
Tell me about the math professor or teacher you have had who was the most and/or least effective. What did s/he do that worked so well/poorly?
I think my favorite teacher was my Pre-Cal teacher in high school. It was obvious that she was enthusiastic about the subject and that she cared whether or not the students were learning. She tried very hard to relate math to the students - often through movie clips! It was an enjoyable class :)
Write something interesting or unique about yourself.
I've been married for 5 years and I have 2 kids. Benjamin is 3.5 and probably the smartest kid you'll meet. Tristan is 17 months and a little terror. By the end of the month I'll be finishing my basement - by the end of the year, I'll be graduating - and sometime in the next 5 years I will become the owner of a tax practice that supports about 600-700 clients currently. It's going to be a crazy next few years!
If you are unable to come to my scheduled office hours, what times would work for you?
The perfect time for me would be MWF 10-11 (just before 371 starts).
