You may e-mail this reflection to your teacher: or

Please write a short letter to me, using complete sentences, answering the following:

  • Discuss at least two concepts that were new to you in this chapter.
  • What was the hardest thing for you to understand in this chapter?
  • Did you attend any math lab/tutoring sessions?
  • According to the scale above, rate yourself. Explain your rating.
  • Set a goal for Chapter 2 that you can accomplish. These goals must be something that we can measure. In other words we should be able to see that you met these goals by your grade in the class.
  • Is there anything you’d like to tell me
