A Successful Semester

I am sooooooo glad I made it through my first year at UIS. This semester, I've all but passed the two classes I took-English and math. Having good grades in English isn't surprising at all; however, having a B- in math is unusual. I mean, I understand that these aren't even the final grades, but they are to me. . . a sign that this semester was a very difficult semester, and I tried to work really hard to be successful.
Doing well in English wasn't all that hard. I kept up quite well with any reading assignments we had, and I never really missed a writing assignment. Since writing is one of my passions, this class was absolutely no problem to keep up with. Unlike other classes, the pace of this one was not the least bit difficult to keep up with. . . NOT AT ALL!
Math, on the other had was tough to keep up with, but that's because the teacher didn't really take the time to thoroughly explain the lessons and concepts in a way that was easy for everyone in the class to understand. Not only that, but trying to take the quizzes on paper was hard because of the time limit. Finally, the make-up midterm was given on-line, and the teacher then realized that taking a test on the computer is easier for some students than taking a quiz or test on paper.
