observation on the girl who sits in front of me for math class for 2 days
I was in math class with my friend, and there is girl who’s sits in front of me who seems to get very stress out every time when the professor is asking us to try to do a question, she seems to give up on every question that she doesn’t know how to do, and me and my friend was asking her if she needed any help with the questions but she said no, but we also told her if you need help then she can ask us. I think she does need some help because she was stressing out on one question I think its probably because she was shy to ask us, but after a few minutes pass by she was slowly turning back and ask us for help . so we taught her the process to do the question and she also repeated using the formula, on the second day of the class she was abel to solve the qustion using the formula with out any struggle. on this case learning can be something that you can try to do that you were afraid to do also learning can be something that you take in to get a solution.
This is an interesting observation in more than one way, but not least for the light it sheds on the process of learning how to learn. Any ideas about what it is that you and your friend did to help this young woman come to feel capable of asking for your advice?
