What are your thoughts about the course expectations? What seems familiar about lesson 8.1?

8.1 is what we did last year basically. We worked with K and other variables like that last year. Most of the things in the chapter sound confusing but i think the remix project should be fun.

I read the syllabus and 8.1, i can't wait to see what we have to do after reading the syllabus, and the 8.1 stuff, it is confusing but we learned about some of it last year or started to at least because i recognized a smalll part of it.

I looked at 8.1 and i think i have seen stuff like this before, i do not remember where, but it looks familiar. Unfortunately i do not understand it and once somebody actually explains it i think it will be easier to learn. The syllabus is just like every other syllabus, but it makes the class seem more productive.

I read the syllabus and it was just like the one last year. I liked the idea where it said we could make test corrections for one half the points back. The remix project looked pretty cool, too. The stuff from lesson 8.1 looked familiar. I remember using K last year and I’ve had to solve problems with volume before. The conversions stuff looked familiar, too.

8.1 seems like the same y=kx equation we did last year. It also seems to combine that equation with other equations and variables. It seems like this chapter will be fairly easy as long as there are no surprises in it. THe syllabus seems pretty standard for a syllabus.

8.1 does involve stuff from last year, but i don't understand it still i hope it comes back to me when i get back into it, i just wanna get back to school and start instead of read these weird things and doing summer projects

I just read 8.1, and honestly it looks like what we have previously worked on. Combined variation looks a tad challenging. But other than that, I think it will be fine. Yeah, so there may be a few challenges, but hey, we all knew what we were getting into.

And as for the syllabus, it seems understandable. Nothing that I haven't already seen.

8.1 looks like what we did last year. i think it will be a little more complicating, but it shouldn't be too bad.

the syllabus is just like every other syllabus. just basically explaining the year.

I think that the expectations are pretty self-explanatory. I do remember doing variations with "k" and stuff, but my train of thought must have left the station over the summer :)
