Recent CLEP Western Civilization I: Ancient Near East to 1648 Tutoring Session Notes
The student was introduced to the 4 types of deceptive answers on the reading portion of the assessment test. He completed practice exercises to identify the deceptions and then completed 1 reading passage during which he had to define each WRONG answer y classifying it into one of the 4 types discussed.
We also began practice with the student timing himself through reading passages. More practice will be done with this time crunch+accuracy mentality.
Essay Writing and lots of Math, plus some writing! Now comfortable with his reading section, the student and I went over the essays and outlines he had written in preparation for class and checked some of the math sections and writing sections he had also prepared. The student has shown considerable progress in the essay and has used all of the strategies we discussed - using concrete examples, creating an essay outline, sophisticated and varied sentence structure and vocabulary, and even including a concession in his last paragraph. We went over problem strategies for higher difficulty level Geometry questions and checked his answers on one writing section.
I helped the student a bit with his math again, this time about ten minutes on graphing piecewise functions. We spent the rest of the time practicing how to answer fill in the blank word choice problems.
Today we went through chapter 5 which covered linear momentum and collisions. We did problems involving impulse, conservation of momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions. We also started a comprehensive list of equations used so far (since no equations are given on the test) so the student can start memorizing them. We then moved on to chapter 6 (circular motion and angular motion). We looked at centripetal force and acceleration and discussed related concepts. We finished by learning about center of mass calculations.
Today we continued to work on math and quant for the first part of the session. Then we worked on the essay and some reading sections. I think the student shows good math fundamentals and should do very well on the section if she takes her time. On the essay, I stressed again that she should work to develop her ideas as much as possible in the time allowed. She did very well on the practice reading sections we did.
Tonight's session was focused around the science section as well as math. We tried to do timed periods of a longer duration, to continue to work on pacing. As we finish up on our time together we are trying to hone in on continued challenging concepts.
