I’m happy to say that I passed the Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, and Vector-Valued Functions unit test this week (on my first try!) and am now into the FINAL UNIT of calc.2, Series! It took my three days to get through the 15 questions on the unit test. I had to look up 1 or two formulas throughout… Read More Week 166 – Oct. 31st to Nov. 6th

I sadly did not get through or even start the Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, and Vector-Valued Functions unit test this week, BUT I did have a ‘Eureka!’ 💡moment understanding a concept within polar coords that I was very stuck on which completely made up for not finishing the unit! I’m a bit bummed that I didn’t reach… Read More Week 165 – Oct. 24th to Oct. 30th

I had a pretty rough week this week. 😔 I only got through 3 videos on KA and didn’t get through a single exercise. On the plus side, I did get a much stronger grasp on how to interpret r when using polar coordinates and a stronger intuitive understanding that r can be thought of as the hypotenuse of a right… Read More Week 164 – Oct. 17th to Oct. 23rd

It felt like I was having not a very productive week as I was working through KA this week but in hindsight I actually got quite a bit done. I spent the first few days reviewing trig identities – specifically the angle addition identities – which is what made me feel like I wasn’t making… Read More Week 163 – Oct. 10th to Oct. 16th

I got my butt kicked on KA this week. My goal was to get through 3 videos and 5 exercises and I barely managed to get through 2 exercises. Both exercises had to do with polar coordinates which I have a very weak understanding of. They both also used what’s called ‘polar curves’ which I… Read More Week 162 – Oct. 3rd to Oct. 9th

This week on KA I made it through 6 videos and 3 exercises from two sections of the unit Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, and Vector-Valued Functions. I was pretty busy at my work this week which played a part in me falling short of the ≥9 hours of studying KA I’ve been trying to get done each… Read More Week 161 – Sept. 26th to Oct. 2nd

I think I fell short this week of working on KA for >9 hours but I’m happy with the progress I made. I got through 9 videos and 4 exercises, started to get a better feel for how to solve parametric equations, and got a slightly better understanding of what they are. Like last week,… Read More Week 160 – Sept. 19th to Sept. 25th

This week I finally – FINALLY! – made it through the Applications of Integrals unit test. I passed it with a perfect score on my second attempt on Thursday. I’m relieved to be moving forward but, at the same time, as frustrating as it was, it’s probably a good thing that it took me so many attempts… Read More Week 159 – Sept. 12th to Sept. 18th

I’m getting pretty sick of saying this, but I didn’t make very much progress working through KA this week. I worked through the unit test for Applications of Integrals two times but still didn’t pass it. I just realized, however, that I ended up writing 61 pages of notes this week (😳) so, even though I… Read More Week 158 – Sept. 5th to Sept. 11th

It was unfortunately another disappointing week for me working through KA. I got through the 3 exercises I needed to redo before retaking the unit test, but it took me until Friday to get through them and I only ended up getting through 7 questions on the unit test, AND got two of them wrong… 😔 I… Read More Week 157 – Aug. 29th to Sept. 4th
