My plot to take over Calculus 2

I’m in Janice’s office several times a week—almost daily—checking my calculus homework solutions for accuracy. We’ve had a few conversations here and there about anything from Joseph Smith to course material, and I believe she’s come to respect me more as a peer than a student. This morning I told her that I thought section 9.3 of our textbook should have been split into two parts and that section 9.4’s two parts should have been combined (as far as homework goes), and I shared my reasons why. She stopped what she was doing and reasoned it out with me. She agreed that something needs to change in how she covers chapter 9’s material, and she admitted that my idea was worth considering. I appreciate that.

Economics can kill

The economics exam was brutal. I could have prepared better, but it was also very difficult to know how to prepare since Dr. Findley doesn’t give study guides. Overall, I had a harder time learning the material. The first half of the exam was formula heavy, so it didn’t help that I constantly searched the textbook for what I needed to use. (I wrote the formulas on a piece of note paper so that I would have them ready...but I left that note on my desk at home. On accident.) I imagine my grade on this exam will be much lower than my grade on the first exam (95% after the curve). But at least I did the bonus assignment!
