Introduction, due on January 6

I am a junior and I am a math major, although my minor is actuarial science, which is what I plan on doing for a career. I've taken calc 1 and 2, linear algebra, and I'm enrolled in math 314 right now.

I can't think of any college math professor I have had who has been very effective. My high school teachers were really good because they knew the names of all their students and seemed to care about how we did in the course. I understand that professors here are expecting us to act like adults, and are treating us accordingly, so it doesn't bother me that they ignore students who stop turning in homework and coming to class. But I kind of prefer being treated like a high school student, maybe just because I don't have very much discipline on my own haha.

I'm from Alaska, which is not as unique here as I thought it would be. I've met a lot more people here who were from AK then people from eastern states. Maybe I just notice Alaskans more. I'm taking this class with my little sister Anne, which could potentially be embarrassing for me.
