This week was a bit of a struggle for me in this class. This week was very hard because Monday and Tuesday were the only two days that were regular for me. Those days were simple because I spent the time reviewing for our Chapter three test on Wednesday. Wednesday though, was weird because of our adjusted schedule for the Veterans day assembly. Having the shortened hour, plus the fact that I would be gone for the rest of the week led me to decide to take the test next week. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to finish the test, and I didn’t want to stop in the middle of it and have to wait a week to finish it. Thursday and Friday I was gone on a field trip, so I missed the notes that started Chapter four. Having the notes available online was helpful, and I think by using the book I vaguely understood the section enough to do the homework, but I know that this week I will have a lot of catching up to do. As I always do, I turned to Khan Academy to see if they could help. They had a video explaining the Extreme Value Theorem. This helped me understand some of the notes from the slideshow, but I still struggled when applying it to the assignment.
