      Math isn't that hard, but teachers have to figure out how to fill up an hour of time so they over complicate it.

I haven't enjoyed my weekend because of her...she would give online quizzes and assignments through the weekend...i have never bond with my family for a very long time...i just wanna say that thanks for your help Brian McLogan, for all your youtube post which has a subject of Math... which is clearly needed for students like me...to understand this types of lesson better....so THANK YOU...im sorry if im so emotional...i just haven't encountered such teacher who do not actually teaches (most of the time) something in class...so THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!

    Mr. McLogan,
    I have gone back to school since I got hurt as a firefighter/paramedic and now have to find another job. One of the classes I'm required to take is College Algebra. I never pushed myself when I was in high school (29 years ago), and now, I have to learn things that I should have a LONG time ago. It is much more difficult to learn as an adult, actually, strike that, it is much more difficult to remember what you've learned as an adult. I am currently learning about ellipses and saw that we will soon be in hyperbola's. As I sit here and type this, I can't remember right off hand what I just learned regarding parabola's; I guess where I am going at with this is, people, and especially teachers, that take advantage of technology and take the time to instruct and teach with passion and caring make a huge difference in peoples lives. I doubt I would want to go through high school again in this day and age, however, if I did, having a teacher like you is EXACTLY what I would want. Thank you for posting these videos (even though, so far, this is the only one I've watched) and thank you for teaching. I truly hope your students know how lucky they are to have this kind of technology to help them!

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  9 лет назад +1

      Todd Jacobs Thank you Todd for your very thoughtful post. The reason I started making videos 4 years ago was for people just like you. I have a lot of examples in conic sections so I hope my videos will continue to help you with your studies. I can only imagine trying to remember this stuff after so many years. Keep up the hard work and let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

    Thank you sir, you definitely made this topic clearer for me and I can now go on and tackle my assignment a bit easier. And one question, are you a high school teacher or college professor?

    I don't know what I would have done this quarter without your channel. Seriously, I've gotten A's on all my midterms because of your help. My final is in a few hours and hopefully I'll get an A on that too. Thank you so much!
