Follow the instructions
below carefully:
You must have your graphing
calculator with you for every class. This course integrates advanced calculator
techniques which may improve your timed test-taking skills
Class Organization and Grading
will follow the “Rule of Three”:
Every class will have an
assigned date corresponding to the exact date we meet
Attached to the class date will
be THREE COMPONENTS which must be labeled in your notebook in the top right
hand corner.
CN: Topic discussed in class
and all class notes
RO: all assigned reading
and outlining corresponding to the topic discussed in class
DP: all assigned HW
problems
.
Homework
assignments beginning First class in August, 2007:
Note well:
***** These assignments are the BARE BONES of the course. Thought Experiments, Writing about Mathematics and Technology quests will supplement all of the following assignments.
If for any reason class is
cancelled, (snow, ice, other issues) you must stay on schedule
and complete the homework for the assigned class day.
Be sure all three components (CN), (DP), and (RO) are properly labeled, dated, and organized in the top right hand corner of your homework page and the actual assignment written below for full credit.
Throughout the year and possibly daily, there
will be additions
To these assignments either given in
class or posted on the web.
Check this site and/or your email every day.
Criteria for reading and outlining assignments :( RO)
The letters RO means “Read and outline”. Outlining must be done thoughtfully and carefully otherwise you are wasting precious time.
DO NOT COPY THE BOOK WORD FOR WORD: Synthesize and organize main ideas, tricks and theorems you need to remember.
Criteria
for doing problems:(DP)
The letters DP means, “Do problems”. Each topic covered in class will
have a graded DP component that helps you practice applying the concepts. Some of these will be
collected. Some will not. ALL will be graded. As soon as a topic is covered
in class that parallels the section that
correlates to the problems assigned in bare bones, you are responsible for
doing those problems THAT NIGHT. The next class you will be
accountable (either quizzed or homework collection or oral examination) for the work. Welcome to college.
Criteria
for class notes: (CN)
All important notes and discussions are to be taken in class and
recorded for future reference and study as well as for (33%) of your graded
component for that particular class day.
SPECIAL NOTICE:
Throughout the next
two terms, expect to spend 1-2 hours PER class hour each
Week.
So on a three class week, 4.5 class hours will yield a 4.5-9 hour study
Week!!
All Hand-in DP’s or hand-in RO’s
will be underlined! Note well.
