Remarks on your contribution to the Basic Skills Project

Dear group 11,

First of all, your group page is a huge mess. The way you handled titles makes all at the same level, just check your table of content. Please reorganize your content in a more structured way. You're welcomed to create subpages (as you already did) and put the content elsewhere if you want to, but right now it's way to messy.

You haven't posted much content yet. Please remember that the goal is to finish by Friday so that the other students can benefit from your work while reviewing this material. The earlier you post material, the sooner I can give you feedback on it. Here are some remarks so far:

  • The trigonometric functions give you values of sin, cos and tan for all values of x, this goes much further than what trigonometry in a right-triangle offers and that's something you should explain. I did explain and mention some things in class, you could use that or at least refer to it.
  • How does the unit circle relate to the trigonometric function? You don't mention much there. I like the big picture you posted on the unit circle, there is a lot of information written on it that deserve an explanation.
  • Have a look on the Adding Media help page to see how to better format your pictures, it's a bit messy as such. There's quite a difference between a nicely proportioned picture that can be enlarged if desired:

And the raw file:

Feel free to contact me if needed. Cheers,

Dear group 11,

The TA and I have reviewed your work. Here are our assessment of your work.

  • Presentation: Very organized and readable!
  • Mathematical content: Covered essentially everything.
  • Overall perceived effort: Good efforts overall, the facts are complete and the project is very readable.

TA Comments on Homework 3

You guys did a good job in providing an organized work! It would help your score if you considered the questions with a little more thought. A few pointers:

  • Definitely try to read the question more carefully. There was a couple answers that didn't actually answer the question...Also, really give a little more thought to the questions, don't make assumptions. Check your answers, think over if they were logical!
  • Please write a little more of your thought processes! For example, the first five questions are answered rather hastily, giving almost no thought process. After all, the process of problem solving is the most important exercise here.
  • Perhaps keep to a consistent format. For some questions, the questions themselves were written, for some, there were just answers. Please stick to one way throughout.
