Hello!
- What is your year in school and major?
- I am a Junior majoring in Math.
- Which post-calculus math courses have you taken?
- MATH 290, 313, 314, 334, 341, 371
- Why are you taking this class?
- This class is required for my major. It is also the subject within math that sounds the most interesting to me, and I would like to see if it is a career that I would want to pursue.
- Do you have experience with Maple, Mathematica, SAGE, or another computer algebra system? Programming experience? How comfortable are you with using one of these programs to complete homework assignments?
- I have no experience with a computer algebra system and very little programming experience (just CS 142). I am not comfortable using these programs due to my limited experience.
- Tell me about the math professor or teacher you have had who was the most and/or least effective. What did s/he do that worked so well/poorly?
- Dr. Lawlor has been the most influential teacher I have had. He knew the best way (from years of experience, I presume) to explain each of the concepts in a way that made sense. He had stories and examples that helped illustrate the concepts and keep interest. He was also really open to helping outside of class even at times outside of his office hours. This was important for me because I had a conflict during his normal office hours.
- Write something interesting or unique about yourself.
- I play the organ.
- If you are unable to come to my scheduled office hours, what times would work for you?
- MWF before 11am and TTh before 10 or from 11-12.
