This year my favorite class has been pre-calc. I had taken the class in high school my sophomore year and not done very well. One major learning outcome this year was;

  1. Classify and identify properties of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and
    trigonometric families of functions and their inverses.

This was a skill I have never been able to accomplish until this year. I have worked a lot harder and I am taking a lot more pride in getting good grades. At the start I got a 85 and I knew I could do better, and since that I have not gotten lower then a 95 on a test. This just shows that if you work hard enough you can accomplish your goals.
