we have done complex numbers and graphs and we are now moving onto conics. Man if u feel your behind with your work why dont u teach yourself, get patel or lee and have a look at them, they are pretty easy to follow...

yea sometimes with arnold i get confused, because the proofs etc seem all over the place... they're just smackbang all over the place.. .thats the way i perceive it to be.. its just a bit messy.. terry lee is pretty good, i heard the questions are pretty challenging well for complex anyway..
anyway, i dont know if they're someting wrong with my school, but we seem to be going through it pretty quick.. so far we've done complex numbers, curve sketching and only need half a lesson more for conics, and we're moving onto integration.. are we going too fast..
we only have 4hrs of 4u every fornight.. he does the theory in class (copy overheads etc), and then we do exercises at home, and if we have any questions, he takes it home and brings it back the next day and gives us the solution in 3u class..
is my school weird?/

well, your ahead of schedulefantasy27 said:
at least you'll have alot of time for revision; we have done complex numbers, polynomials, and we have had 2 lessons of graphs.

Isn't it difficult to learn maths from overheads?. Especially Ext 2, coz sometimes it requires you to stare at a set of working for 5-10mins before you understand it...and damn I'd hate it if I had to copy maths down from an overhead. My teacher just photocopies whole books and kills 50 trees in the process - better than copying from overheads imofantasy27 said:

There's a teacher at my school who reads to the class directly from the textbook...I think that explains itselfSlide Rule said:

Well at least they are well enriched individuals. I wish I still had story time. Unfortunately, they dropped that when I started high school.~ ReNcH ~ said:There's a teacher at my school who reads to the class directly from the textbook...I think that explains itself

Teachers still read novels to us in Yr 10 for English...looks like story-time didn't end in primary school for me...Slide Rule said:Well at least they are well enriched individuals. I wish I still had story time. Unfortunately, they dropped that when I started high school.
i donno, i'm okay with it, it used to be really fast paced at first.. but i guess he does overheads because he doesnt want to write so much on the board.. but he sort of summarises all the notes from diff. textbooks into his overheads... i would prefer some handouts though.. then i wouldnt have to spend time copying out the overhead whilst trying to listen to his explanations..

we've finished complex and polynomials, and half-way through conics.
i love my teacher to death, he is my mentor teacher, but i hate how he is teaching us in 4u: he writes notes on the board, while explaining things, therefore i have to multitask by copying stuff down, following the thread of what im writing and then actually listening and understanding what he is talking about. its then up to me to actually make the class half-bearable because if i wasnt there it would be 2 hours straight of silence.
i am slowly going bat-shit insane.
