00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,398
Good afternoon, Students.

2
00:00:10,398 --> 00:00:16,511
Welcome to MTH 154: Quantitative Reasoning.

3
00:00:16,511 --> 00:00:21,228
My name is Samuel Dominic Chukwuemeka

4
00:00:21,228 --> 00:00:29,906
also known as SamDom For Peace

5
00:00:29,906 --> 00:00:33,821
Chukwuemeka is a name from the Igbo tribe

6
00:00:33,821 --> 00:00:38,327
Chukwu means GOD

7
00:00:38,327 --> 00:00:46,262
Emeka means "has done a lot"

8
00:00:46,262 --> 00:00:53,510
So, Chukwuemeka means that GOD has done a lot for me.

9
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:56,419
This class requires a lot of critical thinking,

10
00:00:56,419 --> 00:01:03,169
and problem-solving approaches.

11
00:01:03,169 --> 00:01:08,370
We shall review several topics including:

12
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:10,440

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,111

14
00:01:15,111 --> 00:01:26,726
Measurements and Units

15
00:01:26,726 --> 00:01:31,464

19
00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:54,145
This is a lot of work

20
00:01:54,145 --> 00:01:59,935
You will do a lot of work

21
00:01:59,935 --> 00:02:04,013
You will do a lot of work on your own.

22
00:02:04,013 --> 00:02:09,462
But, I am here to help you.

23
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:17,176
The class is a flipped-classroom model

24
00:02:17,176 --> 00:02:23,765
I provide the resources on each section/topic

25
00:02:23,765 --> 00:02:34,782
You are required to review these resources

26
00:02:34,782 --> 00:02:45,969
and it is highly recommended but not required

27
00:02:45,969 --> 00:02:54,157
to attend the weekly Student Engagement Hours and Live Sessions

28
00:02:54,157 --> 00:02:57,039
where you can ask me questions on whatever you do not understand

29
00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:10,368
regarding the resources

30
00:03:10,368 --> 00:03:21,110
If the day and time for the sessions are not convenient for you,

31
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:24,793
and let me know the days and times that work for you.

32
00:03:24,793 --> 00:03:31,901
I shall respond.

33
00:03:31,901 --> 00:03:35,740
