MAkeup Blog post- my journey in pre-calc trigonometry

Going from Pre-Calc Functions to Pre-calc trig was a bit of a bumpy transition. I went from extended algebra to extended algebra and the unit circle added to it. I really struggled at the beginning. It was one of those things where I would understand it, but as soon as it got more complicating....it ALL got complicating. Some things I really struggled on were the six trig functions. Those were really confusing to me. I understood sine and cosine functions to a certain extent, but once secant, cosecant and tangent came into play, I KNEW NOTHING! The next unit was rough as well. Like always, I understood everything until cosecant and secant want to ruin my life (figuratively of course) with their graphs and then sine and cosine are difficult with the story problems... BOY do i struggle on those... Now this next unit comes and I actually understand everything, but who is to say that this unit won't end up like the last two? Leaving me confused and stressed. Though I kind of like how the tests are accumulative so I can still practice the old stuff. One thing I really struggle with arethe clock problems. I do NOT understand those. i feel like i am starting to get the hang of them... On the unit circle unit test, I struggled on #22

. This is the work I had, and the work that I recently just did. I now understand how to get it to radians. One thing I do need to still practtice is converting that to degrees.
But overall, I have been working hard to understand this material. To any future trig student I really suggest being very studious in this class because it will pay off in the long run. I have really enjoyed Trig.
