Project Conclusion

Well, this is the final post related to my Calculus Project. Our dear teacher asked us to answer the next questions:

What do you think is the most important thing you learned through this WebQuest?

I think the most important thing was to use Calculus for solving real problems like murders. Before the project, I thought that only forensic specialists could determine the time of death and that sophisticated tools were used, but now I know that with just a thermometer and Calculus such problems can be solved.

Would you recommend the use of a WebQuest to learn Mathematics or some other Science subject? Why?

Yes, I would recommend it. Webquest is an excellent guide for doing activities or experiments and learning from them at the same time, and it would work perfectly with subjects such as Physics and Biology.

What can your teacher do to improve the project? Any suggestions?

Personally, I think our teacher Linda did very well. I don't have suggestions because everything was perfect.

CENEVAL

(Sorry, I really took my time for finally writing this)

Our dear teacher asked us last week to share how we felt during our CENEVAL exam and what we think about it, and I have to say that it was harder than I thought. Only few questions from a review I did were in the exam, so most things were kind of new for me. This doesn't mean I didn't know the answers though. I think I got around 30 questions wrong maximum, and I think that would be like a 70 =(

How did I feel? Bad. I didn't notice it during the exam, but quite after I felt tired and I got sick during afternoon, I'm serious (I got flu and coughs), I even sneezed 3 times while doing the exam!
