Compare And Contrast Algebra And Seddighzadeh

During my time as a student in high school and college, I find that professors are like boxes of chocolate. You simply won’t know what you will get until the semester begins. I believe this is like apples and oranges because while I like oranges, I also deeply enjoy apples as well. I find this comparison similar to how I view professors in college. Without question this comparison also represents two professors that I had during fall 2016, Blake Stephens and Noushin Seddighzadeh. I have since realized these two professors pushed me in different and unique ways, many of which I am still discovering today.
It was my first day of college and I was so terrified. My first class was Intermediate Algebra. I arrived extra early so I would not worry
It was time to walk to my class. I anxiously walked up the stairs and when I arrived to class, there were only a few students sitting down that I did not know. I sat there patiently waiting for other students to show up. The time came and the professor showed up. My first impressions of her were that she was a middle-aged woman and was very friendly and helpful. Next, we went over the syllabus. That part of class is not what students enjoy about the class. Close to the end of class we started the first chapter of the book. It was more simple for me because I enjoy Algebra and it was a review course. The time came and class was over. I had a forty-five minutes’ break so I strolled down campus to my History of Architecture class. It was the very first day when I walked proudly into the room, My first impression of the classroom that it was more spacious than other classrooms. Also, the chairs were like movie theaters. I was sitting in the third row next to a few of my friends. When professor Blake
In professor Noushin’s class, her speed and teaching styles were compatible with me. In the same way, professor Blake’s speed of teaching and how he lectured were also well-matched for me. Even though Professor Blake had office hours, professor Noushin’s office hours worked better with my schedule. On the technology side, Professor Blake was better with answering your emails while professor Noushin was a little technology challenged. Both I could relate to, yet I could relate more to professor Blake because how I knew his personality type beforehand, and I got to relate to him more. Professor Blake’s teaching style for this class was to show different types of structures and buildings using PowerPoint. In contrast to professor Blake, professor Noushin would use the white boards to do her examples. I liked them both, but I preferred the PowerPoint notes because it would not get erased off the board. In both classes I would take notes, but in professor Blake’s class, the speed was a bit fast for my understanding. In professor Noushin class, I would take notes, but the pace was slower compared to professor Blake’s class. Even though I did not need all the notes for math I still wrote it all down compared to professor Blake’s class I did not get all the information about all the buildings and structures. Overall, both professor Blake and professor Noushin are among my favorite professors. Both wanted all their
