Introduction, due on Aug 30

What is your year in school and major?
Senior

What do you plan to do after graduating?
Teaching or tutoring Math, ideally I would want to teacher 8th grade Algebra.

Which post-calculus math courses have you taken?
Do you post Calculus I or post Math 314? Well, I'm going to answer the post Math 314 and you can just assume I have take all the math classes between 112 and 314. I have also taken Math 334, 341, and 371.

Why are you taking this class? (Be specific.) Are there specific topics you look forward to learning about in this class? If so, what are they?
I am taking this class because I need it to graduate. Oh, and I chose this class over the other two I could have chosen, because I've enjoyed classes because that had to do with numbers. I don't know how much of the material we will be learning will be using Math 371, but I look forward to learning anything that uses that class. I really felt like I understood that class.

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?
Asking me question while lecturing that connects me back to previous things learned or talked about, this will help me connect concepts. A good example of when a teacher did a really good job of teaching was... Well, I remember having a substitute teacher for my Math 341 this last spring, his name was Paul Jenkins. He did good at doing those things that I described above.

Write something interesting or unique about yourself.
I've been married almost 2 years now and I have a little boy named Landon who is 13 months old.

If you are unable to come to my scheduled office hours, what times would work for you?
Your hours work for me, but if for some reason they eventually don't then 12-1:30 on Tues and Thurs.
