I rarely check my gmail, i should start getting used to checking it each night. <BR/><BR/>Anywho, thanks for complimenting on my work :) I'm glad to hear that you've learned from my blog. I learned all this from Mr. K. he REALLY is a GREAT teacher :) <BR/><BR/>One of the other mentors mentioned something like that too, about changing the hours to minutes so i don't get confused when i calculate it. I think that's a good suggestion, it is really easy to get confused.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for commenting on my work :) I appreciate it :Ddeaarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825085360565699205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956802465200054136.post-74167488065726930362007-11-05T14:28:00.000-06:002007-11-05T14:28:00.000-06:00Good job on giving an example on how to break down...Good job on giving an example on how to break down the work to find out the number of hours someone worked. I am sure you also now remember to multiply by 1.5 or 2 since you have written it down. I find that if you write a formula out like that somewhere you will probably remember it better. You set up your page so that it was easy to read which is also very helpful to others students who will read it. These other students will also learn from your work because i know I already have. Just make sure you double check your work so you don't forgot to change the hours to minutes.<BR/>Keep up the good work!<BR/>Crystal F(Mentor)<BR/>University of ReginaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452607312335486995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956802465200054136.post-74866330241318074502007-10-22T17:23:00.000-05:002007-10-22T17:23:00.000-05:00HELLOOO :D thaank you for complimenting on my work...HELLOOO :D thaank you for complimenting on my work :) i figured that, if i understood other peoples posts more when they were spaced out, i might as well make my blog like that so that other people could read and understand it more clearly, right? <BR/><BR/>danielle, i think your right when you say "if you put too many words in one spot, it becomes a race to try and get through them". im like that, especially when i have to read a load. i just quickly read through all the long paragraphs and rush to finish, even though i didn't fully understand it.<BR/><BR/>and david, thanks for the suggestion. your right, it is kind of confusing to mix up hours and minutes when calculating. its easy to make errors, especially errors that simple. ill keep that in mind the next time im figuring out these kind of questions :) thanks!deaarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825085360565699205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956802465200054136.post-29512402947878442712007-10-22T16:30:00.000-05:002007-10-22T16:30:00.000-05:00Good job explaining what you have been learning in...Good job explaining what you have been learning in class. I liked that you used an example to illustrate your point. One suggestion that I have for you is to be aware of when you are adding up your time.<BR/><BR/>For example:<BR/>53 mins<BR/>02 hrs<BR/>59 mins<BR/><BR/>What I always do is to convert everything into minutes first<BR/>53 mins<BR/>120 mins<BR/>59 mins<BR/><BR/>The reason that I say that is so you don't add those 2 hours as minutes by mistake. Make sure that you read questions carefully and take your time. Overall you have done a good job but try to keep everything in a simple form.<BR/><BR/>David C (Mentor)<BR/>University of ReginaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956802465200054136.post-17854298233714597042007-10-22T01:31:00.000-05:002007-10-22T01:31:00.000-05:00I remember doing this in Math!

I have to say though, You did a great job of explaining it on your blog. If I was in your class and I needed to remember how to do it, I would go back and read your post. I also think your page set-up was easy to read. In my University education classes I am learning about page set-up and how it makes a difference towards reading; especially kids just learning how to read. If you put too many words in one spot, it becomes a race to try and get through them, but you spaced everything quite nicely!

It's often very important, not only to say something because you know it, but to prove something so that someone else can understand. You demonstrated good understanding and I encourage you to keep giving examples. This is often the best way for me to learn because I am a visual learner and i like to picture the example in my mind. As for your colleagues, I am sure they will also appreciate it! <BR/><BR/>Veronique P (mentor)<BR/>University of ReginaVerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17279104858043146530noreply@blogger.com
