Hello, my dear instructor, my name is Zhuoli Wang in your Math 87 class and I am a Math lover from China. Maybe you know that students from China maybe very good at Math, however, I am just very interested in studying Math. I have already studied Math for 16 years and I want to be a Math professor in the university in the future, so I decide to study Math from beginning and that’s one of the reasons why I choose this class. Although I already know most of things in this class, but I will still study like I don’t know anything because I also want to study something from you like how to teach a class and how to plan the class for one quarter. For my hobbies, studying math is one of my hobbies. For math, I compare my studying in China and United States. I consider that students in United States don’t focus in Math too much. When I studied in China, I started to study Calculus in first grade of high school already. Math is not too important, but it is the base of every important technology like computer. That’s why I want to be a math professor because I hope more people can focus on math more. Also, I like playing computer games like League of Legends and some Steam games, but I don’t like console game because I used to use keyboard but not controller. And I like exercising in gym, I go to UREC in WSU from Monday to Friday every 1:00 pm to 2:00 each week. Although Covid-19 is very serious, I think gym workout can’t be lack. In my education experience, I have already graduated from University of Washington Seattle campus, but for studying how to teach math classes, I choose to study from basic Math because instructors will decide how students’ study so I think this decision can’t be seemed like wasting time. However, I also had some bad experience. I have been dismissed from Washington State University before. When I was a freshman, I never know why I must study hard and who should I study for. But I know now that I must study for my future. As I said before, I study this class for learning how to teach a Math class and I will study how to plan a class and make a plan for whole quarter. To measure one thing, I usually see how large a number for one thing is and also, I will use the percentage. For example, for the same money, I can purchase 4-liter Coke Cola or 3 filter Pepsi, to get the result, I will compare which number is larger, in my example, 4 filter is lager so I will choose Coke Cola. For another example, according to National Geographic, water is most important thing on the earth, although our earth is covered by water and water is occupied by 71% of total area of earth. However, only 2.5% water in that 71% can drink. Therefore, percentage can help us measure one thing.
