I loved the way the homework was set up because I would see right away if my answers were right or not. Instant gratification!
Math is not my strong suit and I find it more difficult when it is not fun. However, in this business math class it was both enjoyable and useful.
I really enjoyed taking Business and Consumer Math! In many other math classes, I often ask myself, “When will I ever use this concept in real life?” But in this math class, I was shown practical and useful ways to use the concepts that I learned. It was a very informative and thorough class.
