You are not a tree, but nice try.

I'm trying to understand, but it's just not happening for me right now...

I had a partial academic scholarship and still had to take remedial. My math scores pulled my act score down big time. I just never had much aptitude at it but I did have an aptitude for gaming the system. (I so regret opting to game it rather than to buckle down and learn it.)

OOOOhh, GOOD FOR YOU!

Too all you people freaking out over algebra... you do realize its initially taught in like.. 8th or 9th grade right? I'm sure this man can handle algebra... It's not even remotely close to difficult.

Now if he had to take calculus... then yea I'd agree ( Took it last semester, hardest class I've ever taken in my life, thank jesus I got a B and dont have to take Calc 2/3 ).

But algebra is basically 1 step up from arithmetic.

Algebra isn't about angles.  That's geometry.

Not true at all...

But yea they dont teach how to USE ALGEBRA to measure angles etc... until you take geometry... BUT ITS ALGEBRA I PROMISE!

The computer program makes the math more difficult than it should be. It's not as easy as you might think.

The computer program is mymathlab... its only used for homework these days, and a lot of teachers are moving AWAY from it.

As long as the TEACHER in your class is good, you'll be fine. Mymathlab is simply picky on the homework, which is why most teachers grade it on a curve and then do their own tests/quizzes in class.

I've never had a math class that has all their homework, quizzes, and tests done on mymathlab. Again, trust me. It's not nearly as hard as people are making it out to be. He'll be more than fine.

[onebadrubi]

Yep. Just do all the practices punching keys and copying. Memorize configurations. It was a crappy way to teach, but the blame is still on me.

Haha, so I wasn't the only one to do this in college algebra? 

[FreshHog]

Yes, but our English department has failed you I see.

Or its because I just woke up like 10 minutes ago (hands are cold, makes typing a little wonky, especially with a mechanical keyboard with red switches that I barely have to touch to input a key ) and dont have my glasses on ( I'm blind as hell, can barely read what I'm typing right now without straining LOL ).

At the U of A a few years back it was used for Homework, a mandatory study guide before the test even became available, and then you took your test on the computer.  If there was an error, you just got it wrong.  I remember after EVERY test, you would get an email saying questions number x, y and Z were graded incorrectly and we are excepting answers b,c,d on top of the already excepted answer, then you would see your grade increase.

Yea that sucks. Like I said, I took it just a couple of years ago, and have been in math courses since I got into college that use mymathlab, but its simply for homework at this point. I'd venture to say 90% of teachers have realized its an awful program due to how strict it is on its answers ( You could have the right answer, but write it down in a different order, or even over simplify it, and it will tell you you're wrong ).

Great news. can we please get this thread back on Reed the football player, and all his talents. he is big time. and now he is a Hog. and remember that he said this. QUOTE.

wow..........this thread certainly derailed

[LRHog234]

As a senior at the UofA I've yet to meet anyone who has taken College Algebra here with  teacher that spoke English as their first language... For example my teacher was Chen Zhang, and she didn't understand the term 'review' meant to go over previous lessons before a test... These teachers are TA's who most of the time have no interest in teaching but are required since every student on campus has to take College Algebra.

Both homework and tests are online, and if you get a question wrong you can fill out a multiple page request form to have them look at the question in case you put a comma incorrectly or round up to the 3rd decimal instead of 4th.

I did much better in my math classes in my educational career than I did in my forty and vertical.

I guess some things can be improved significantly with a little more focus and effort, some you have to be born with the proper gene set to excel in.

Mr. Reed will do what he needs to do. 

Watch DR catch and run.

[Hogsmo Kramer]

Sorry couldn't resist just had to make a point.

Anyway back on topic, I'm super excited about Reed he's gonna be an immediate impact guy so huge get today.

Yep. Like I said, I'm absolutely sure he'll be just fine. Glad to have him as a hog. Gotta love instate kids coming home to represent. Wish him nothing but the best, someone should email him a link to the khan academy as its an invaluable asset for math courses, and can completely make up for a lack of good teaching.

22 on Rivals, so pretty much all services agree with our class.  It's solid by our standards, so we're slowly closing the gap.

If we can consistently sign classes around 20 every year, then we'll be very good.

It might be easy for you ,but math is not easy for some. You really haven't been paying attention to the number of players in the past that have not been able to get into UA because of college algebra...... My objection is that unless it is a SEC requirement for all schools and they all will not accept "D's" as transfers, we do not need to have requirements that hurt us to the benefit of others. It is one college class.

I think if we keep improving we will only go up from here.  I have said that in the past as well though.

Keep winning and recruiting will just keep getting better.

Our former coach wasn't a good barometer for that equation since he's a pretty polarizing figure and coach B doesn't seem to be.

Every math homework, quiz, and test I had at the U of A was given in mylabsplus, so you're wrong about it only being homework. We had to go to the lab on campus to take our tests via the computer. Nothing was handwritten and the instructors were little to no help. Everything was self taught or guessed until I got it right.  THIS is the reason it is hard, not the subject matter itself. There's a reason so many people take math at other schools. It is every bit as concerning as people are making it out to be, regardless what math it is.
