Session Summaries by Tutors

"During this session with the student, we covered finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes (triangles+parts of circles) as well as his research project were reviewed. With student two, finding the area of triangles inscribed within circles for math, as well as Newton's Third Law in physics, were reviewed."

"We reviewed problems from the student's homework, which included calculating confidence intervals and z-scores. We also went over her rough draft for her week 2 essay, which required her to pose a research question incorporating the chapter material in the response criteria. She is very motivated and resourceful. Next week we plan on covering the next set of homework problems, the next written assignment, and possibly the rest of the first week's homework problems."

"The student and I spent this session working on applications of derivatives. We started with the simplest application, finding minima and maxima of functions. After working through several problems we decided to move on to slightly more challenging material and began working optimization problems. We went over the basic concepts of maximization problems, generating a function to optimize and using the various constraints given to reduce that function to a single variable function. Then we solved a number of problems. This section is a challenging one as each problem demands some careful thought in addition to using mathematical techniques."

"Today, we finished the rest of the test 3 review (which included topics like asymptotes, partial fraction decomposition, and compound vs continuous interest). The study guide we have been preparing is pretty much completed with all the topics from the first 3 tests. Next week, we'll continue with the review (going back to some of the earlier material) as well as practice partial fraction decomposition since we went through it a bit quickly."

"We started the session with a 25-question test covering all the topics we have discussed since the first tutoring session. The student earned an 85% on the this exam; he lost the majority of his points on converting fractions to decimals. We are going to review the concept of converting fractions to decimals at the next session. He also struggled with the word problem that required him to create an equation to arrive at the answer. We will work on these concepts over the next few session. On the positive note, he got every single question that involved fraction operations correct. I think he has really made progress in understanding fractions."

"Tonight, I continued my work with the student in order to help him become a better student. I started by having a lengthy discussion with him about motivating factors for school work. I discussed his future with him as well as his goals moving forward with school and his life. I hope that this discussion helped to better motivate him to improve his grades. For the rest of the session, I helped him to prepare for his Biology test on photosynthesis that he has on Friday. I helped him outline the major points on the subject and create a study guide and a practice test. He seems to have a better grasp of the information now. Finally, we discussed his progress in Spanish class, and I assigned him some work for next week to help him gain some more basic Spanish skills. We will meet again next week. "

"The student is working ahead of her class so that she can get more out of the lecture. She finds working through the problems together gives her a better understanding of how the instructor works through the problems as well. She is doing very well in remembering the power rule and the application of derivatives in finding the equation of the tangent line. "

"We reviewed partial quotient and mixed fraction. We also reviewed previous assignments as well as a test. The student was motivated. I encourage him to reread questions for clarity. "

"We worked on solids of revolution, which are pretty intricate because you have to do computations with the functions they give you before integrating--you integrate the area of slices of an object in order to get the volume. There's two different ways to do it, depending on which axis you're rotating around and which direction you have measurements in, but we covered both and I think the student's in good shape. We're meeting again today to go over some more stuff."

"The student and I read two comprehension passages that focused on author's purpose, comprehension, and cause and effect. We reviewed the story North Talking for class discussion. He is doing better at reading for understanding and active reading, and it reflects on his comprehension. "

"The student and I covered logarithmic and exponential equations. We reviewed two recent quizzes and the mistakes she made, and worked together on the review guide for her upcoming test. She had an overall solid understanding of the material and is working at slowing down to avoid minor errors. "
