My College Algebra Degree

Improved Essays
This year at Texas Tech University, I am taking the college algebra course in order to fulfill the pre-requisites needed to complete my pre medicine degree major. My current major is Human Development and Family Studies, but I need this math course for my pre-medicine requirements. My pre-med degree plan requires me to complete this course in order to enroll in my required Physics course later in my college career. Physics is not an easy course to master, there are many different difficult concepts we are required to learn. College algebra has many concepts that aid in the comprehension of the concepts taught in different courses, that is why it is a required pre-requisite for many college courses.
College Algebra introduces us to many concepts

    During nursing school, pediatrics and med-surg were my two of my most favorite classes. Not only was I interested in the material that was being taught, I was able to store that information in my long term memory. Being able to understand the process and connect the dots helped me to do well in both of those classes. I used that knowledge during my pediatric rotations at Cook Children’s and was able to determine why the patients experienced certain symptoms and what methods of treatment they need.…

    “Why I Chose Southwest” As a homeschooled high school senior, I am unable to take Advanced Placement courses, which are college-level classes taken at a high school. Students earn college credits by taking an exam at the end of the year. To remedy this, I decided to register at Southwest Tennessee Community College for dual enrollment classes. I chose Southwest for a multitude of reasons: to complete my high school education, to provide challenging courses in preparation for college, and to grant me college credit. I opted to take Pre Calculus, English Composition, and Anatomy & Physiology this semester.…

    This year for math I will be doing Algebra 1 on Khan Academy. I did 8th grade math on Khan Academy and I liked using it so I decided to use it again.
