Certified Tutors From Lurleen B Wallace Community College

1. Spanish -ar verbs worksheet completed 2. Math, pages 123-125, 9-27 odd completed, and the rest of the assignment wasn't written down clearly. 3. Studied vocabulary units 3 and 4. 4. Outlined the speech that is due Thursday, Oct 8. The student forgot his speech folder but from what he remembers, we wrote down that he needs an introduction, 4 purpose statements (supplemented with details), and a conclusion.

The student told me he had a quiz in geometry a couple of days ago and did very well.  He has a chapter test next week and he worked on the the chapter review on lines, line segments, lengths of segments, congruent segments, planes, intersections, etc.

For our first session the student and I covered the first 5 chapters of the book. We covered the major points of each section with appropriate sample questions. We covered one and two dimensional motion, basic trigonometry, vector addition and applications to physical bodies. We also went over circular motion as well as Newton€™s three laws of motion and their applications, putting particular emphasis on the second law and the typical question types associated with them.  The student seemed a little lost as to where to start most of the questions, but at the end of the session he showed good improvement. With a little independent practice he should see decent results.

Worked on:  Converting a negative exponent to positive, a^(-2) --> 1/a^(2);  Rules of exponents, (a^2 * a^3 = a^5), a^4 / a^3 = a^1;  Combining functions and solving, g(x) = 2x, h(x) = x-1, (g-h)(x) = 2x-(x-1) = x+1;  Tried to emphasize the value of going slow and not skipping steps.

Went through the student's backpack, sorted papers by subject, threw away old papers, and wrote down known due dates in his planner. We then worked on his next assignment for Technical Writing, which is the area he needed the most assistance. We completed his concept map and wrote an outline for his rationale for the paper, which is a short summary of his paper topic's importance.

We covered all the material that has been covered in the class so far. We started with probability and continued with discrete and continuous random variables, expected values, variance, and covariance. We went over all previously assigned homework problems to try and figure out what she had done wrong, and how to work the problems correctly.
