Course Reflection, due January 28

There are a few axioms and definitions that apply in several of the topics we have discussed.  Some of these are the Division Algorithm and the 8 Axioms that define a ring.  I can also see how the definition of homomorphism and isomorphism would be very important for throughout the course.  The fact that the class lectures follow so closely with the book really helps me make sense of this material.  The things that I have a hard time understanding from the book become much clearer during lecture.  I also like how the homework is not overly complex.  It requires a higher level of thinking but it is not overly frustrating.  I think that I can personally be better about studying the things in the book that I don't understand the first time through and even reread some of the tough points after lectures.
