The document provides summaries of various classes taken by the author, including chemistry, visualizing algebra, and Italian. For chemistry, they attended class 5 days a week, did labs and homework, and learned chemistry, math, and lab skills. For visualizing algebra, they completed video lessons and exercises for 1 hour per day 6 days a week, totaling over 168 hours. For Italian, they listened to audio for 1 hour per week and did computer exercises for vocabulary, phrases, and speaking practice. They also briefly discussed a chemistry experiment and solving a quadratic equation in algebra.

3. A Typical Week

4. A typical weekend
The snowball effect
• You blow off your work
for one day because
you are tired or having
a bad day
• Instead of going away it
moves to the next day
• The next day two hours
of Math seems too
overwhelming so you
don’t do it
• At the end of the week
you are stuck with 6
hours of Math
Improving
When I first got started, I'd
end up snowballing 4-6
hours of work each week
for Saturday and Sunday.
I have improved at keeping
up with work, but most
weekends I still have some
roll over work

15. Solving a Quadratic Equation
Who remembers high schoolAlgebra
Hint:Youcansolvebyfactoring,orbyusingthequadraticformula,therewillbe2answers
A X2
1
B X C

16. Steps
▪ Find factors of a*c that sum to b
▪ I.e. factors of 1*6 that add to 5
Answer(2 and 3) ( 2 *3 = 6 ) (2 + 3 =
5)
▪ Replace B with the two factors 5x
becomes 2X + 3X
▪ (X2 + 2X) + (3X + 6) = 0
▪ Remove a common factor form
each group
▪ X ( X + 2) + 3 (X + 2) = 0
▪ Rewrite
▪ (X + 3)(x + 2)
▪ Set each one equal to 0
▪ X+3 = 0 x+2 = 0
▪ Solve for x
▪ X = {-3,-2}

24. App makeing fail
Unfortunate due to fate and mac computers my app design project failed
Took Udacity course
on app making with
swift, I didn't like
teaching style
Built some of a
app in x-code
Computer
crashed, and
deleted work Other computer
hard drive failed
Fate decreed I take a break from this project
Next year I will try to learn to make apps again
