Was capable to pick up most ideas fairly easily, and was quite comfortable with the set notation difficulties she was having once we looked at them, as well as with trigonometry.
While Sophie's trigonometric abilities are quite good, more practice with solving equations to build confidence is ideal. More than this however is sketching functions which could be more intuitive, particularly when a restricted domain is introduced. However mathematically Sophie is capable here.
Was able to perform most operations and solve most problems concerning cubics relatively easily. Understood the general shape of sketches of cubic functions.

Potentially needs more work on understanding the real-world connections of functions (mostly based off of the context of assignment work), however Ben is by no means weak in this regard. Made some mistakes when dealing with cubics and struggled with more difficult questions.
Understood the theory of families of cubics, and was adept at most topics revised. With stuff he is more confident with he is able to do it quickly.

Needs some more work on some more difficult discriminant questions, piecewise functions (particularly sketching piecewise functions) and potentially general form cubic formulas (related to families of cubics), however this is content that hasn't been covered in class yet so that may change.

Had a good understanding of how to use the special triangles and which quadrants give positive and negative values for sin, cos and tan. Also understood well what graphs of both sin and cos looked like.
Understanding how to convert reference angles into actual results using the quadrant that it's found in. Working with radians, particularly fraction multiples of pi, could be improved.
