Before I took this course, geometry was a part of math that I was okay at, but didn't consider one of my top aspects of mathematics. As I took this course, I began to discover the other side of geometry, and how it was in fact a very important part of math. Now, I consider geometry as one of my favorite parts of math to work with, thanks to this course!
I got a hundred on my 3rd try for the regular but I was not able to get the bonus and a super bonus questions. However after this review a lot of the questions are starting to click even though sometimes it is a little confusing. But eventually I understand what is happening.
This comprehensive module helped me a lot with my geometric skills. Highly recommended.
I will really miss this class. Thank you so much
Very impressive, provides many ways to solve problems. The problems are built like riddles, very clever and they always have clear solutions that are properly explained.
I had a fun time having you as a teacher 💕
This is a very fun (but hard!) course. I like how the problems are given to introduce new concepts and the solutions are very clear, and how even though there's a lot of stuff covered, it's presented in only a few problems.
I'm learning a lot 🙂
