My name is Derrik Jenkins and I am a mechanical engineering major.
I studied for 1 year, then completed a two year mission, and I have just returned to begin my sophmore year at BYU.
I took AP calculus in high school and Math 113 at BYU my freshman year.
I am very interested in attaining a minor in math to go with a degree in mechanical engineering. I enjoy math and would like to get a firm grasp on mathematical concepts that will build a solid foundation for further engineering and mathematical application to what I study and work with.
I greatly enjoyed the examples that were used by previous professors. They explained the concept, then showed how to work out the problems. Problems similar to those we would face later on in the homework or in test situations. Also the past final exams were available to review and study.
I feel that the lectures were at times vague and the why of certain application of principles weren't explained very well. The concepts we covered were shown but not explained very well. However, the TA's did a fantastic job reviewing the material and helping with homework questions.
Well, not my last name. So, I love to be in the outdoors- running, biking, climbing, hiking.. also, I can tear a phone book in half.
I have class until 3pm, so any time after 3 or before 10am would work for me.
