Ask me three questions, with a reason as to why you want to know. One may not be related to math :)

OK, so I really dont know what to ask you...
1) Am I going to get the same privileges as the people in my class? like when they watch a movie or something, am I going to be able to see it too, or do I have to work?
2) Are we doing a project this year? like last year we did the project at the end of the semester, of how we could improve the popularity of the school?
3) Who is this years soccer coach? Because last year you said we were getting a new one.

How do you best study for math exams and what grades are you expecting in math this year?

I think that I study better for my math exams, when I take the book home, and get to see the examples directlky from the book, because it explains to you everything step by step. So this is an advantage, because I can actually get the notes from the chapter in the book, and it helps me study, when I can see everything step by step, rather than remembering everything and how we did the things in class. This year I expect to get a higher grade in math class, I think that I may get higher grades than last year, because I can actually study directly from the book, and my notes are all from the book. So this will help me in the exams, because sometimes I look at my notes from class, and say, "How did we do this?" because I dont have the exact procedure. Really I dont expect to get a 7, but I hope I get a 6, because I actually think that geometry is alike to algebra, but you need to be able to visualize things in graphs, and triangles. In general I think I can do better this year than I did last year.

What Do I Expect This Year in Math

This Year in math I expect to become better in Geometry, and be able to get higher grades all year round. Last year, was a good year, but I expect to become a better student in geometry, and be able to get a grade higher than a 5, which was my last semester grade. Although this year I’m working with the text book, I find that it will teach me to be more independent, and for me I concentrate better when I’m working alone and not with a lot of people. But even though I like working alone I think it’s better to work in a group. Anyways this year I hope that I will be more constant with ALEKS (if we use it), because last year I was lazy and practically didn’t use it. So I want to be more constant and to be more focused.
