Welcome to 2009-2010 Precalculus! I look forward to working with you this year.
Here is your first assignment: Send me an email about yourself that will help me get to know you as a person and as a math student. It should have two parts:
1. Your personal autobiography. Write about yourself and your interests. Describe a few of your activities and hobbies, talents and passions, values and commitments. What are the important things that you want me to know about you?
2. Your mathematical autobiography. Describe yourself as a math student in the past and in the present. What have been your best and worst experiences related to math? What kinds of math class activities are good or bad for you? When has learning math been easy, and when has it been hard? What do you like about math itself? And finally, what are your goals for this math class?
Please write honestly and informally. This assignment is my first chance to learn about many of you, so it’s important to just be yourself. I will not be grading your writing or judging your opinions in any way. If you'd prefer, feel free to write your autobiographies in Word and just attach them to the email message. Please send this to me in the next couple of days.
For my convenience, please use this format for the subject of your message:
