MISSION COMPLETE! It is possible to get an A on Calculus in 6 weeks.

Posted Date: Feb 7 - 5:54 PM
I remember when I finished my FALL classes, I started to look onward to Winter 2008. I am surprised that there is a place that offers calculus in 6 weeks. Where I usually go, in summer and winter, they do not offer no Math classes at all in those semesters. The thing I had in mind the whole day was this FINAL. Of course I had another final, but any math final is a thing I mostly put priority into. Wow. First I came into the final, like about 45 minutes late. Second, when I came in, the final was supposed to be the whole class duration, 3 hours and 30 minutes, but the teacher (sometimes I call them teach' for short) cut 30 minutes off. So I lost an hour and 15 minutes of the final. But for some reason, I was not worried. Inmediatly before the final,my fellow classmates (we do study groups)stop studying and went to the class before the class started.They asked if I was going to come along with them, because we will need all the time we can get for the final. I said thanks, but I just want to make sure I get some stuff cleared and memorized... So they can get ready. I studied a little more, just in case. Then, I went to the student store bought some candy, then to one of the vending machines, and got a coke. All of this going on and me walking and  reviewing my notes for the final. I felt some goosebumps. I walked into a room that were full of students and barely no sound at all. The teach looked up at me, with a look that I intrepit as "late again MrX". The classmates whispered to me that I was late and that good luck on the test- you'll need it. Then they kinda motion me to see the whiteboard to see how the teach' decided to take 30 minutes off because of some emergency. An eerie silence. Everyone taking the final, nervous. Me thinking "Calculus in 6 weeks? An A?"...---When I signed up for this class around December 20 or 22(Look at the THIS PROFILE's BLOGS off that date) I had my doubts that an A is possible. Last time I took a math class, it was 8 weeks, and I barely passed with a C. And I thought, how could I get an A on a more advanced class and in a shorter amount of time. But it is possible. I got the final, then started to look at it. It all came to me kinda nicely and fast. I was not worried. Somehow I knew everything was going to be alright. Like all exams and finals I take in the past. But an A or B on Calculus Final, and in 6 weeks? Or any math level for that matter. I came to a point were I was sure I got a B+ or A- on the final. So I stopped and turned in the final. I looked back, and the students that came in time, were not finished and had nervous looks on their faces. The teach looked at me. "Finished? Are you sure?" Positive. He looked at my final and starting comparing to his answer book. Page thru page. He looked impressed. Then a smile and a thumbs up.(Is that he always has the answers to test and midterms on the desk to start correcting them inmediatly). I shook his hand, and gave him thanks for teaching me. One guy in particular named Marko...(TBC)
