My name is Haley Stevenson. This is my 4th year here at BYU, so I am technically a senior. However, I still have one year left in school before I will graduate. Beyond calculus, I have taken Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Theory of Analysis, Math 290, and am currently enrolled in Differential Equations. I am taking this Abstract Algebra class not only because it is a requirement for my math education major, but I really like algebra so I hope this course will help me better understand the kinds of algebra that I will teach in my future classroom.
One math professor that I had that was a very effective teacher truly cared about the success of his students. I really appreciated that he took extra time when necessary to explain difficult concepts. I also appreciated that he would show examples in class of what to expect on homework and exams. I find it difficult in courses when I feel that the homework or exams are completely different than what is covered in a class. I also liked that he was willing to take extra time to help students through office hours and such to further explain and help solidify concepts or go over difficult homework problems.
The only thing that I find to be unique about myself is that I am semi-left handed. I write with my left hand, but I do all other things right handed (eating, painting my nails, playing sports, brushing my teeth, etc). I'm not sure why this is... but that is just how I am I guess!
