Calculus+2011-2012

This is the Calculus page for the academic year 2011-2012

May 4, 2012 SENIORS! Your Calculus Senior exam is on Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 at 1 pm. You can have up to 2 hours. You can bring up to 2 sheet of paper, both sides, for your formula sheets. NO EXAMPLE PROBLEMS on the formula sheets!!!!!!! The calculus senior exam is 23 pages! (cover sheet plus 22 topics). I will grade your best TEN. Each page is one ten point problem.

To prepare, focus on the TEN point problems from your syllabi from the fourth quarter.

April 29, 2012 For over 90% of the calculus students, your HW grade on WebAssign exceeds your test average. For those of you where this is NOT the case, I __offer__ the following override: If your HW grade is less than your test average for the fourth quarter, I will override your HW grade with your test average up to an 80.

May 4 Update and final pip points for progress on WebAssign: April 17, 2012 If your group did not do so well on Test 78910, you may turn in an alternative assessment to get your grade up to a 90. Do 10 ten point problems from the 78910 syllabus, with fullly explained solutions, with no more that 2 from any one section, and submit by May 4, 2012 at 4pm. These are good practice for the exam. I will NOT __offer__ this __deal__ after the last test on 111213. April 28, 2012 The amount of the group test your group will be graded on is a functions of the size of the group, n. f(n) = n/(n+1) SO

Group size: Fraction of test to be graded on: On the 20 point quiz (5 problems) On the 220 point (11 __topic__) test .......1............................ 1/2........................................................................... 2............................................ 5 .......2 ............................2/3 ...........................................................................3............................................ 7 .......3............................ 3/4 ...........................................................................4............................................ 8 .......4............................ 4/5 ...........................................................................4............................................ 9 .......5............................ 5/6 ...........................................................................5 ..........................................10

Group sizes greater than 5 are not allowed. Note that the group test will be graded by __TOPIC__, not points. So, for a group of 3, I will score the whole test and take the __best__ 8 topics.

March 2, 2012 Good __job__ on the Chapter 6 test! No need for a curve. If you want to, you can turn in corrections to get a grade bump: A's, +1, B's +2, C's +3 If you scored 76 or less, you can make up the test to an 80 with really good corrections. I will be posting the solution key for the Chapter 6 test Monday at 4pm. Corrections are due by Wednesday, March 7th, 2012 at 4 pm (the last day of the quarter)

FOR ALL TESTS IN THE SECOND SEMESTER and THE SENIOR EXAM your formula sheet can only be one sheet of __paper__ (both sides) with formulas and processes ONLY! NO EXAMPLE PROBLEMS!!!!!

You can brush up on your PC skills with this review pack from __PCH__



and here is more practice for the Chapters 5 and 6 tests. It is NOT an assignment:



If you have questions, email me at flange@usmk12.org . You can see all the lesson previews on my you tube channel [|www.youtube.com/user/flange360] Consider downloading GEOGEBRA for __free__ at [|http://geogebra.softlate.com]

Materials for preparing for the Group Quiz (20 points) on Sketching derivatives with __the Red Green Show__ and the Slopemeter. There are two videos: The old one from Chapter 4 on the Red Green Show, and two new ones on Sketching with the Slopemeter and Scaling Adjustments.

When we get to Limits and the Derivative, here are some longer videos to watch on the subject if you want another perspective: []

TYPO on #9 on the WebAssign 1.1 part 2 : I have reported the mistake to WebAssign. Answer the problem by letting x = a, which is the x-intercept on the graph.

WORD FROM THE TECH DEPARTMENT The reason that Adobe is on the 4112 computers and not in 4110 is because there is a Photography class that works in that lab. However, I believe that Foxit Reader is on the machines in 4110 which should be able to print WebAssign work.

REVIEW PACK DUE THE LAST DAY OF THE FIRST QUARTER : October 14, 2011. I will be passing out a hard copy of this in class. You can get a __bonus__ point for each day you turn this in early, up to +5. There is a you tube video on using Geogebra to find the flange point

FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING PROBLEMS WITH READING YOUR EBOOK: If may be because you are on Safari on a __Mac__. If you are, get rid of your cookies. You can also download __FIREFOX__ as a web browser. It is free, can go on Macs or PC machines, and is generally more virus free than other browsers. Here are the notes from the video and these will be added to in class.
