Calc II, Spring 2015 @ Hunter College

At this time in my life: I loved math. I was super excited to finally take Calc II, coming off of AP Calculus in high school — AND OOF! Once I was in that class… wow…

In order to prepare, I would read ahead in the textbook, being very patient with myself and understanding that I may not understand everything that went on in a particular chapter. Then, I would go to lecture and focus all of my energy into listening to the professor. Finally, I would go home and look up a video on the same topic in order to receive the information from a unique perspective!

I ended up with an A+ in the class! And best of all, this grade put me on the Dolciani Math Learning Center’s radar to be a tutor! AND I’VE NEVER LOOKED BACK!!!
