Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that one of your hobbies is grilling. I think with practice, improvement will come on simple calculations. I look forward to meeting you in class.
hello, michael. thank you for your responses. i am from colorado, so i grew up on country music. i really like brad paisley, too. i think if you just remember to double check your work, you'll probably get a handle on fixing and simple calculation errors. and for the record i make errors and switch numbers in lecture all the time. everyone does it. nobody's perfect! see you tomorrow.
