<p>Anybody attending to WOOT from Aops 2011~2012?</p>
<p>OR can anybody tell me what exactly you do if you’ve participated in previous WOOTs?
also, anybody who attended/attending to math tapas would be really greatful to tell me what exactly it’s like. :D</p>
<p>so : in WOOT/tapas</p>
<ol>
<li>what exactly is it like?</li>
<li>Did you feel cared by your instructor?</li>
<li>Did you learn a lot?</li>
<li>Do you recommand it?</li>
<li>Are there any other programs related you know of? </li>
</ol>
<p>I participated in WOOT 2010-11, so I may be able to answer a few questions.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Basically, it’s like a regular AoPS class with a few extras. First off, you have an incredibly smart and supportive community on the class forum, so your questions can be answered easily. Classes are not EVERY week, but about every other week or so. For most classes there is also a handout that accompanies it; these handouts you get about a week before the class, and is SUPER SUPER HELPFUL (you are advised to read it before a lesson as in the class, the instructor will not go over most stuff from the handout). There are also 6 Practice Olympiads spread out; there are 3 levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), and they mimic an olympiad VERY well. Also 3 Practice AIMEs too :)</p></li>
<li><p>Uhh…I guess. In class, which was the only time I really conversed with them (they also were helpful in answering questions and providing problems on the class forum, but I never really asked much there), the instructors are very awesome. They provide interesting (and challenging!) problems in class, and answer any questions; the TAs also are helpful, as if you’re confused, they’ll personally chat you and help you.</p></li>
<li><p>YES. There’s so much information! I didn’t learn as much as I could only cause of school work, but it was still incredibly incredibly helpful</p></li>
<li><p>Yup! If you have the money necessary, and you’re willing to devote your time, it will help you in all your math competitions.</p></li>
<li><p>No, sorry.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>i really wanted to join but its so expensive, considering that its online and there are 70~ students in each class.
i figured im better off using books and notes.
i might consider doing it next year though, since my math hasnt improved for a year (this year and last year USAMO scores about the same D: )</p>
