Transfer - Specific student comments
Mathematics Classes
- I use the methods (in other classes) of reading the problem several times
a lot. (sudent 3)
- I have been able to incorporate problem solving in my other math class.
(student 5)
- Offhand I can't think of any specific examples of problem solving/math writing/study
skills being useful, but they all have been I'm sure, especially math writing.
(student 15)
- It also helps with Dr. Z in not forgetting equal signs (student 1)
- My approach to math is much less of an "I either can or can't do this
problem" and more of an "I can figure out my own way to solve this
problem." (student 2)
- This class has changed the way I approach my homework and test questions.
(student 4)
- I have changed the way I think about math and I have improved in my other
classes. (student 5)
- I have definitely changed the way I write in math - I am much more careful
in being clear in every step as well as being concise.
Other classes
- I incorporate Polya's problem solving process into many of my other classes.
(student 4)
- Also the math writing has helped my writing in general. When I was writing
history papers, I could tell my analysis was more precise. (student 5)
- I have used the math writing and presentations in my other classes... (student
6)
- I think my writing has improved (student 7)
- My thought process has become clearer and I see things very differently
(student 10)
- I feel that most everthing in this class has helped me in other classes.
(student 14)
- While taking tests, I often use the many writing skills learned in this
class. (student 14)
- This class changed my thought process. (student 10)
- I think I have improved in my thinking, especially noticed in my writing...
I have noticed my thinking is more logical and critical because I can face
problems I haven't encountered yet I'm not too afraid. (student 11)
