Course Overview
If you’ve been in my math class for the past few years, you’ll soon see that our Calculus course is run differently. We use a traditional textbook with lots of written lessons and repetitive problems. We will do the first six chapters of the book this year. You will read the lesson prior to class, do group work with your classmates, practice some problems with me, and then do a selected number of problems for homework. Homework assignments will probably take 45 minutes to an hour and be assigned Monday through Friday. We will have tests at the end of the chapter. You are welcome to take the AP in the spring if you so desire. Most universities give you unit credits for scoring a 3, 4, or 5.
