Learning About Limits

Here's opportunity #2 for test corrections to post for points...and remember, it's all about the learning!

"I am always doing that which I can not do, 
in order that I may learn how to do it."

Take Picasso's belief to heart when you look over your test and make the corrections.  Please address the following in your post:
  1. For each question where points were deducted, what mistakes did you make?  Were the mistakes arithmetic (added, subtracted, simplified etc. incorrectly); algebraic (made a mistake with solving an equation or simplifying); conceptual (missed an idea about limits); or careless?  Please be specific, i.e. on #11, I didn't know that indeterminate meant evaluate the limit and get 0/0, so I left that problem blank.  OR I made an algebraic mistake on #4 (d) and #9 because I didn't know how to factor those polynomials.
  2. From the problems listed above, please summarize what you have learned from making the corrections.  How does Picasso's quote relate to making test (or HW or quiz) corrections?  How will this beliefs help you during the last month of school?
  3. When is a time in our math class (any time this year) that you have been proud about your learning? 
As always, I look forward to reading your posts!  Thanks for taking the time to work and comment.
