8.3-8.4, due on February 21

Difficult: Although I found the idea about equivalence relations easy to understand, I got confused when the concept of an equivalence class was introduced. I don't understand what exactly it means for something to be categorized as an equivalence class and what makes it different from an equivalence relation.

Reflective: I thought that the concept in section 8.3 about equivalence relations was very simple to understand. Since we have already learned about the relation properties reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, I already had all of the main ideas of the concept and just needed to apply them in another way where all three are included in the definition.
