B.O.B - Muddiest Point

Coming out of Algebra 2 I found this unit fairly easy with a few new concepts, but mostly review. Secant, cosecant, and cotangent were a little confusing to me when they were first introduced but after Mr. Jackson walked us through a few problems on his dying projector and gave us plenty of practice problems to work on, the confusion was cleared up very quickly. My muddiest point of this unit was when the trigonometric equations became very long, more complicated, and they hurt my eyes to look at. Again, Mr. Jackson came to the rescue showing us how to do a couple of the problems and giving us a lot of practice solving those problems. The first couple of the complicated problems took awhile for me to finish but as I did more, I understood them and became quicker at solving them. It also helped me a lot to look at the answer keys on his website to know if I was doing them correctly; if I wasn't doing them right I could look back at my work and try to find the mistake or I could look at Mr. Jackson's work to help me get back on the right path. If I still couldn't figure it out, Mr. Jackson was always there to help. Mr. Jackon, you're the best!
