This was one of the best weeks I’ve had on KA in a long time. 💪🏼😤 I only made it through six videos but a lot of key concepts clicked into place for me this week. It started on the first video I worked through which gave a pretty straightforward example of changing a vector from the… Read More Week 282 – Linear Algebra Finally Clicks: A Breakthrough Week
I feel like I actually did a decent job working through KA this week. I made it through seven videos, and didn’t completely understand everything BUT had a decent grasp on most of what Sal was talking about, which hasn’t happened for a while and was definitely a relief. 😮💨 I can tell that I’m FINALLY getting… Read More Week 281 – Linear Algebra: Finally Getting Over the Hump
I once again got my butt kicked this week. 😔 I had to go back to Unit 2 at the start of the week to rewatch two videos to try and get a handle on what’s going on. I watched them each twice, spoiler alert: it didn’t work. After that, I only made it through five videos… Read More Week 280 – Getting Rocked by Linear Algebra, but Still Waiting for the Lightbulb
It wasn’t a great start to the New Year. 😞 I technically watched six KA videos but only made notes on five of them, and my notes on the fifth video were only half complete because I didn’t know what was going on… By the end of the week I was pretty frustrated so I Googled a… Read More Week 279 – A Frustrating Start to the New Year, but Still Hoping for a Breakthrough
I didn’t have a strong end to the week, but I DID manage to achieve my goal of getting through the final 12 videos in this unit, Matrix Transformations. 😮💨 It was a photo finish at the end 🏎💨🏁📸 and, unfortunately, there were a bunch of things flew over my head in the last few vids. A lot… Read More Week 278 – Matrix Transformations Complete! A Photo Finish Before the New Year
Overall I had a pretty decent week on KA. I watched nine videos and understood the gist of about 75% of what Sal went through. I don’t think I studied for five hours though, so I’m disappointed about that. Part of me feels very motivated to get through these videos quickly with the New Year… Read More Week 277 – Nine Videos Later, Linear Algebra Still Feels Like Hieroglyphs
It was another mediocre week for me working through the Matrix Transformations unit in Linear Algebra. My goal was to get through ten videos but I only made it through eight. If my math checks out, that means I made it through 80% of the videos I wanted to, which isn’t too bad, but I didn’t understand a… Read More Week 276 – A Tough Week, a Determinant Breakthrough, and More Progress
All in all, it was another “meh” week for me. I only made it through six videos on KA but they were all around 20 minutes long. Even though I didn’t watch many videos, I’m sure I made progress with linear algebra, in general. I’m getting better at being able to visualize what the math… Read More Week 275 – Linear Algebra: Learning to Read the Math
I’m sad to say that I didn’t get much done on KhanAcademy this week. I made it through six videos, only writing notes for three of them. the good news is that I wasn’t stumped by anything from the videos and still learned a handful of new things, but that also makes me think that… Read More Week 274 – Six Videos, a Busy Week, and More Linear Algebra Progress
In the sense that I made it through the eight videos I was hoping to get through this week, I achieved my goal, however I didn’t completely understand the last vid or make notes on it so it didn’t really count… Nonetheless, it was still a fairly productive week! Compared to the past few weeks,… Read More Week 273 – Rotation Matrices, Better Notation, and a Bit More Understanding
