math illiteracy

When we were told we could write about absolutely anything...I guess i was taken aback. This statements entitles me to write anything I want to and so, I will. I am going to rant about my math class. I am taking a class that is called math 102, Precalculus. This class is a two semester class that settles the R2 requirement. I HATE IT! I want to become a teacher for third graders and it frustrates me that I need to take complicated math courses to do so. When it comes to English, I am passionate, but math....I could think of many four letter words to describe the subject. In other words, it is not a subject that comes naturally to me. Now we have a complete revision of the course halfway through the year. Now instead of writing out math problems and bringing them into class on a step by step basis, we have to complete the homework online! We have no way of looking back to see what we have done and EVERY thing is graded by the computer. The worst part is, I have to get a 70 or higher to proceed to the next homework or to take the next quiz. If we dont pass these things in before the due date, they don't count. Tonight I have a homework to redue so I can do a quiz. I didnt get a 70, so i have to retake the quiz so i can take the next homework so i can also get a 70 to be able to do wednesday nights homework! I am FURIOUS!!!
