So far, in Mr. Olsen's Algebra 1 class, we have been breezing through last year's math work like nothing. The first time I sat down I didn't know what we would learn, start off with, or even see what work would be held for homework. All I knew was to try my hardest and keep my grade up because I don't know what is coming up next. Up to now, what we have learned is the Properties, such as: Commutative Property, Associative Property, etc.


An interesting part of Algebra 1 is his Do Now timer, I say this because his alarm for it is "Thunderstuck" by ACDC. As far as technology goes, the only technology that is used is his own laptop and a projector to show us math equations and a Powerpoint. After each week, a new syllabus is provided by him in class, and even if you're absent there is always a copy on his website for his syllabus.

Up to now, his class has been great. Very easy, and very easy understand, everything you need to learn is in a single packet. Even your homework is on the back so it is not very hard to lose it, so no excuses to why you have lost it or how. Yet, his class is in the morning portion of school, getting lost or side tracked during his class is very common if you haven't had much sleep.
