Speak Math Now
Hello KaryAnca! I do apologize for taking so long to respond to your question. My Speak Math Now! course is open for enrollment, however, my laptop is currently being worked on, and thus it may take a little while for us to actually begin. I am very happy that you are interested in the course, but I would like to first ask you these questions that I hope you can respond to:


 * What is your prior experience with math?
 * Is there a specific topic(s) that you would like to improve on?
 * Will you devote yourself to the course? (I do know that this is a very long course, which is why I have the option for all of my students to start in any particular semester that you would like, and end with any semester. However, please know: You cannot quit in the middle of a specific semester.)

If you can answer these questions confidently, then I would love to set up an orientation session with you once my computer is repaired. When this occurs, I will notify you immediately and we can get started. Until then, please bear with me and thank you again for taking interest in my course. I hope to be working with you very soon! --MrABlair23 13:01, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

No hurry. I'm currently taking another (certification) course which completes in December. To answer your questions:

What is your prior experience with math? I've taken some math courses in university, but it's been a few years.

Is there a specific topic(s) that you would like to improve on? No. Mainly, I'd like to be more precise when using mathematical language.

Will you devote yourself to the course? That's a challenging question. It's not the length of the course that concerns me, but the ability to schedule around other obligations. It's hard to judge the workload from the course outline, but it's certainly my intention to complete the course. KaryAnca 13:45, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much for responding so quickly, Kary. I completely understand as there are always other obligations to attend to, and I do need to update my course page a bit. If you would like, I could send you a course syllabus that completely outlines everything that will be going on throughout the course, and you can decide from there. Please let me know if you are interested in one, and if so, the correct method of sending it to you. Thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing from you! --MrABlair23 21:00, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello KaryAnca! First of all, I would like to thank you for being so patient with me. My laptop has been repaired, and I am ready to go if you are. If you would like, we can set up an orientation session whenever you would like. I just need to know your time zone along with dates and times that you may be available. I live in the Eastern Standard Time Zone of the United States, and my hours are from 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM EST from Monday - Friday, and 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM from Saturday - Sunday. This week is a bit hectic for me, and thus, I was wondering if you would be comfortable for any of these times on Monday, November 7. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask and I am looking forward to hearing from you! --MrABlair23 23:51, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
