MU123 Unit 8 and second tutorial

Visible to anyone in the world

Completed unit 8 which is all about geometry.  I found the first half of this unit quite tough going, much more so than anything else I've encountered on the course.  I have generally found that a lot of this module has jogged memories from school and as such it has been quite easy to take on board but the stuff around angles and the associated rules feels brand new, I struggled with some of the activities and had to read a few pages a couple of times before I fully understood.

The second half of the unit was around triangles, areas, volumes etc and I'm pretty comfortable with that.  I am about half way through TMA03 and think that I will tackle the questions associated with unit 8 before moving onto unit 9 whilst it is fresh in my memory.

Unit 9 which is up next is back on to algebra which will be a welcome relief after the geometry unit.

Had the second of the face to face tutorials a few days ago.  This time only a few others turned up which is suprising to me, I'm quite far ahead of the pace now but I still find them useful even if it is covering units that I finished quite a few weeks ago.
