Comments for Pierce Math JamComments for Pierce Math Jam


What aspects did you enjoy most about the Math Jam?

•Steady pace of instruction through the Teaching of math foundations – by Carmic Estridge

•The Self-Assessment Math Phobia Tests – by Jorge Tamacas

•Ms. LePoint, She is a fully patient and easy to understand and helpful instructor. -- by Jason Ayala Martinez

•“I feel that I will do much better in math course now.” by Caren Lukens

Participant Suggestions: Ace Math 1-2-3 workshops should be brought for 4 days and should also be brought to the PACE students since many are coming back to school. I am a PACE student and want to learn at this workshop. This class will help me do better in math classes. -- By Carmina Napoles

Comments for Pierce Math JamComments for Pierce Math Jam


Participant Suggestions (Continued):

“I think that the Math Jam should be longer and split up for Math 112 & Math 115 classes; and a separate class for Math 125. Even though I am going into Math 112, I felt the more advanced students did not get as much. I also think that Math Jam sessions throughout the semester would be helpful.” -- by Amy Camp

“None. Everything was great.” -- by Jason Ayala

“A 4-Day math jam is needed” -- by Jennifer Morrow

“Keep on offering this class to future and continuing students.” -– by Bradley Koster

“I enjoyed the Mathaphobia lectures. I enjoyed it alot.” – by Divina Estel A. Solomon.

“This program really needs to be provided to community parents who also want to help their kids overcome math fear.” – by Carmic Estridge
