This course will include writing assignments which are intended to help you understand how you are doing in the course and reacting to it. They will also help me to understand how you are doing in the course. To start I would like you to write your math autobiography using the following questions as a guideline. You do not have to answer them in order but please do include all the topics. Also write in narrative form, not single sentence responses.
