B.O.B. - Unit Circle
Generally, this unit came really easily to me. Unlike most units of Pre-Calc Functions, I managed to maintain a solid amount of background knowledge from Algebra 2-B. My muddiest point however, similar to previous units, came with solving the trigonometric equations, particularly when there were sin/cos/tan/sec/csc/cot on both sides of the equals signs. Talking it out with Jackson was what gave me my moment of clarity, as it usually does. All in all, this was a nice unit and I'm very happy with how I scored on the test.

The best part of this unit was dealing with the unit circle. Although I had to remember each spot, I became really good at using the unit circle, and that was my favorite part of this unit.

B.O.B. Muddiest Point
For me the hardest part of the Measurement and the Unit Circle unit was the packet Solving w/ Secant, Cosecant, & Cotangent. I missed the day Mr. Jackson explained how to do those problems so when I got back I did not understand how to do it. After looking how Mr. Jackson did the problems online, on his website and him doing a couple of the problems at school I started to understand it more. Also with Allie's help I started understanding how to complete the problems. Once I started understanding it more I could complete more problems, but some of the problems got complicated and I did not know how to do them again. After going back to a couple of the problems again I understood how to do the harder problems.
By the end of the unit I understood how to do most of the problems. Although I had a couple of moments where I needed clarity on how to do them, I still ended up understanding the unit.

I also had a little trouble with the "Around, around we go!" homework. The problems in this packet were fairly straight forward and not too complicated but I just didn't seem to grasp the concept. I was taking the equations from the arc length and sector area sheet and only using those. I didn't quite understand how to change them to work with the individual problems and I got confused as to when I should use the radian or degree equations. After again, asking Mr. Jackson more questions, I began to understand the problems and soon saw how easy they were. Thanks again, Mr. Jackson!

B.O.B.- muddiest point
The thing that I found hardest in this class was solving the trigonometric equations. The first time it was introduced I really struggled with it. I think I understood how to solve the cosine, tan, and sin ones, but since secant, cosecant, and cotangent were new to me these were the ones that I generally struggled with. I could understand the algebraic part of the problem but when it came to adding cycles I was lost. I tried looking at examples online, but those didn't really help. I think what really help me grasp a better understanding on how to solve the functions was looking back at the examples we had already done. I wouldn't say I am at an expert at these problems now, but I think I know how to solve them.
