Letter of Advice to a Future Math Analysis Student

Dear Future Math Analysis Student,
                   If you want to pass the class, I advise you to look into any suggestions I may have for you. To be the most successful in this course, you need to be open to change, as Mrs. Kirch always says. This is because the classroom you are about to adapt to is called the flipped classroom, where we learn most of the material we would normally learn in class at home by watching videos. At first I didn't know if I was going to adapt well to this new style of learning but I wasn't going to fail the class. So I gave it a try and it was a big success. If you really want to be successful this year, do all your work right and completely. Take all your quizzes ahead of time and get your wsq chart signed off early. Also, always ask for help whenever you need it because that is what the flipped clasroom is designed to do. Mrs. Kirch is always going to be there whenever you need assistance. So don't worry.
                  To adjust to the flipped classroom in the best way possible, do everything on time and do all the work, because all the practice will surely benefit you when you take the test. Also, try to enjoy the class for a while because most of the time, you'll be working in groups in which you can collaborate in. Despite small distractions and little things here and there, my group definitely adjusted and had a great time doing so. Just be open to change because that's what's going to be your success. 
                 Unlike previous math classes you may have taken, this class does the opposite. Because we are able to learn at home and collaborate at school, your skills increase and you are able to apply what you know to reality better. You will create a blog, turn in online submissions and make tons of videos all so you can learn in the best way possible. You will use technology more in this class, increasing your skills in this field at the same time as learning new math. Overall, have a positive attitude when making the change and try to enjoy it a bit. I know I did. :)
