Students,
I want to remind you about the "Extra Practice" assignments that appear in the textbook. These are "for practice only". No grade will be taken on these assignments. I suggest that you use these assignments to gain FLUENCY with the material. You can work these problems an infinite number of times each!
Successfully completing a homework assignment does not mean that you are FLUENT with the material. All it means is that you were able to work the problem once.
It is best to go back and re-work the problems many times to develop fluency. Fluency is so important and it comes with practice! The more fluent you are, the more confidence you will have with the material. The more confidence you have, the greater success you will experience on the assignments and tests in the course. Many students say "I'm just not good in math." If this is you, then you could use a big dose of confidence in mathematics. You will see your confidence grow if you choose to put in the time to develop fluency with the material. This fluency/confidence comes from practice, making mistakes, and more practice.
Again, working a problem once does not develop fluency. Repetition and practice is key!
