"My Memorable Intermediate Algebra moments"
1. Expectations
a. Subject
I expect to learn new things in Intermediate Algebra. I expect that new lessons will be harder and more challenging in the future. I strongly believe that only a part of Mathematics such as the 4 basic operations, fractions, percentages, exponents,and decimals can be useful.

b. Classmates
I expect my classmates to be helpful. I want classmates that are ready to help me whenever i can't understand the topic...

c. Teacher
I expect the teacher to be clear and understandable whenever he/she is discussing a lesson. I would like a teacher better if she is reasonable and caring whenever a student failed to understand the lesson rather than to be strict and tough.

2. Memorable Moments
My most memorable moment in Intermediate Algebra was back at the first grading period when I got a perfect score: 20/20 in the very first quiz. It was a very memorable Intermediate Algebra moment for me since it was the only quiz in Intermediate Algebra wherein I actually got a perfect score up to now.

3. Discouraging Moments
My most discouraging moment in Intermediate Algebra was at the third grading period when I got a score of 0/10 in the first 2 quizzes. I forgot what the topic was all about since I was absent during the time when the lesson was discussed in the first quiz. I asked Maam. Gallardo if she could give me a re-test on the first quiz that Ihave failed. Maam. Gallardo replied "Kung ano na lang score mo sa second quiz, yun na lang rin score mo sa first quiz". The funny part is that I also got a 0 in the second quiz! (bad luck!). It was definitely the most discouraging moment in Intermediate Algebra history.

4. Favorite topics
My favorite topic in Intermediate Algebra would be "THE EXPONENTS" since it is one of the very few topics in Intermediate Algebra that I simply understood. I did not have a very hard time deperately studying the topics. I also like factoring since it is very exciting and challenging. What a great way to exercise your brain!

5. Most Hated Topics
My hatest topic would be quadratic equations. I do not like this topic since I find it useless and I still could not understand how to solve the problems. I feel that my other classmates are also having this problem.
