Semester 2, 2011


My first semester at UNE and so far I am doing really well.  Touch wood that it all continues to run smoothly.  This semester I am enrolled in the units 

TEEC02 Math122
EDLT116 Learners and Teachers
EDME145 Maths Numeracy

Math122 is not a part of my degree as such, but does allow me to demonstrate the necessary Band 4 maths  requirements.  I have not one, but two maths exams at the end of this trimester.  I would be fibbing a little if I said I was not worried as I do not have happy memories of High School mathematics.  I am trying to change my mentality now as one useful thing I did learn already in EDLT116 is that if we have a history of failure, or even self perceived failure we are more likely to continue on that path; so, with this in mind I am saying I absolutely LOVE maths.  I just need to go back to learning the basics and put the effort in.  Something I should have done back in my High School days I suspect.
