My learnings

Being a student of PNTC-DASMA were I learned a lot such as a higher education degree program that deals with the study of marine propulsion system, its operation and maintenance as well as controlling the operation of the ship and care for person on-board at the operational level of marine engineering. Students in marine engineering will be trained to achieve the following competency standards through discussion and laboratory activities in the courses included in their curriculum such as machine shop, electrotechnology, auxiliary machineries, marine power plant, marine pollution and prevention, engine watchkeeping, naval architecture, instrumentation and control system, basic safety, maritime law and maritime vocabulary.Use appropriate tools for fabrication and repair operations typically performed on ships, Use hand tools and measuring equipment for dismantling maintenance, repair and reassembly of shipboard plant and equipment. Use hand tools, electrical and electronic measuring and test equipment for faulty finding maintenance and repair operation, Maintain a safe engineering watch, Use English in written and oral form, Operate main and auxiliary machinery and associated control systems; Operate pumping systems and associated control systems, Operate alternators, generators and control systems, Maintain marine engineering systems, including control systems, Ensure compliance with pollution-prevention requirements, Maintain seaworthiness of the ship. Prevent, control and fight fires on board, Operate life-saving appliances,Apply medical first aid on board and Monitor compliance with legislative requirements.

In my fields of Mathematics, the study of math plays a very important role in our daily life. There are so many reasons why mathematics is important to each and every one of us .Firstly; all subjects are linked with mathematics like physics, chemistry and even biology. Secondly, mathematics is used in architecture and designing. How can to achieve my aim/dream to be an engineer and accountant someday? Thirdly, mathematics is used in all businesses like in banking, offices, workplaces etc. All financial aspects of the businesses deal with mathematical concepts. Almost people who said to themselves that they are stupid or dumb with mathematics. When they will hear the word "MATH" they are thinking about themselves that they didn't know how, and they are being lazy to understand it.

Mathematics is one of my favorite subject since in elementary and until now. There are so many things that can be change in mathematics when you are already in secondary years, it will become harder and it will need more patience for solving. There are many topics that I had learned in 4th grading period like special products and factoring. In special products I understand carefully how to get it. You just only multiply the FOIL (First, Outer, Inner and Last terms).In factoring there are so many topics: factors and primes, factoring by the common monomial factor, factoring quadratic trinomials, factoring the difference of two squares, factoring the sum and difference of two cubes and factoring by grouping. In the first topic of factoring,the factors and primes, you just only get the greatest common factor (GCF).In the second topic, factoring by common monomial factor; first you find the GCF then write each term as the product of the GCF and its other factor and after apply the distributive property. These are just the some topics that I state how to get the answer. Here in my minds the other lessons that we take up and I know and understand that factoring are divided in to two categories, the easy and difficult. Almost that I observe the factoring is quite difficult but if you understand it, it is just easy for you to answer. Also I observe that the last part of the lesson that we take up is harder than the past lessons which Mr. Bayan/ Ms. Salgado taught to us. Many of my fellow classmates are lazy and didn't have patience to solve, they are only saying Mr. Bayan that it is so hard to do, but only thing that our instrutor said to them, it is not hard to understand, the only required thing to this lesson is; they must only listen understand what she had taught to them.
 
All of us here in this world have the knowledge. We must not degrade ourselves that we are dumb people when it comes in mathematics. We must be proud that we have a teacher to teach us if there are things that we didn't know how, we must understand, listen and respect them. When we talk about mathematics we must always apply patience to ourselves so that we can get the right answers. Mathematics in our daily lives is so important to us especially those people who had businesses to avoid bankruptcy in their business. Mathematics is important in every aspect of our lives!!.
