4. Personal technology (e.g. Cell Phones, IPods) is not allowed in the studio. If it’s out, you agree to hand it to me. I will take it and it must be picked up by a parent or guardian in the office.

5. Once you enter the studio you are here to stay. Personal needs (e.g. Restroom, Drinking Fountain) should be taken care of during the passing period. However, for extreme circumstances, you are allotted 4 bathroom passes a semester. If you use a pass you must be back within 5 minutes of leaving. Once you use your 4 passes you cannot leave the room until the end of the period.

project or days work or you may receive a referral to the office.9. You will want to come to the studio. After all, this is where you make art.

Evaluation:

Important!!! I am not in the business of “giving grades.” You earn it!

1. Projects: Grading is based on criteria specific to that project (e.g. use of line, composition, color). Most projects will come with a rubric detailing what you need to know and be able to do to get a good grade.

2. Daily class work will be graded on your ability to demonstrate and understand daily/weekly posted objectives and goals.3. Periodically you will be asked to read and write about art related material. You will be graded on comprehension of the material,

critical thought processes, spelling and grammar. Typically a rubric will be given.4. Rarely, but once in a while, you will be given a formal test. It’s just one more way for you to show me you understand.

1. Most days when students walk in there will be a warm-up activity designed to get those art juices flowing. Come into class and follow the instructions on the board. The materials will be laid out for you on the table in front of my desk.

2. The materials for the days work will also be laid out for you, either on the counter or on the table in front of my desk. If you need something that is not out for you already, please ask.

3. In order to get credit for your work it is the student’s responsibility to hand all completed work over to me. Place it in my hand.

Discipline:

This is probably the best class, because you get to be you and you get to create. However, our behavior and the way we treat others, is an important thing to consider. My discipline is my attempt to help guide you into adulthood. To help you become a responsible and positive member of society. It is not a reason or an excuse to be mean. Having said that, misbehavior will have consequences and hard work and good behavior will have rewards.

Remember! You earn your grade based on your understanding of art content and your ability to demonstrate art skills. Most of all you will be graded on the progress you make. If you strive to better yourself at drawing, you will!

By signing below you understand and agree to fully pursue and abide by the Course Syllabus (course goals, class expectations, evaluation). You agree to do your best.

I. Grading System:

Grading Policy

Student grades are based upon a cumulative point system. Grades for all reporting periods are a cumulative grade to date. Students earn points for homework, quizzes, class assignments, exams, participation, and written work. Students are encouraged to rewrite essays and to view writing as a process rather than a single event. Quizzes and exams cannot usually be redone, as their purpose is to identify student’s current knowledge of the subject. Good attendance is essential to success.

Students are encouraged to make up missed work. Late work may be accepted, but it will be subject to pre-established penalties and deadlines that will vary with circumstance and assignment. In addition, I am available before and after school. Every effort will be made to assist individual students. Grades are:

90%-100% = A80%-89% = B70%-79% = C60%-69 = D<60% = U

282/283 AP Calculus[Return to top]Please take the time to thoroughly read this syllabus. All students are responsible for its content. This syllabus should be kept in your math notebook and periodically reviewed as needed.

Summary of Course:

AP Calculus will introduce and study the topics of functions, graphs, limits, derivatives, and integrals. We will focus on giving students the opportunity to work with functions represented in a variety of ways, including graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and stress the connections among these representations. Students will be using TI-83+ graphing calculators and MacBook laptops to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. A fair amount of instructional time will be devoted to learning how to properly use your calculator to help accomplish these tasks as they arise. The overall goal of this course is to master the material outlined above to an extent where the student will be able to successfully pass the AP Calculus AB test.

Students will work both in groups and individually. Learning will be facilitated through direct instruction, practicing problems, group discussion, and project based learning to explore mathematical applications. Expectations are high regarding the quality of student work.

Grading Policy:

Homework- As this is an advanced placement class and is designed to give you college credit for Calculus, your homework will be graded the same way it would be graded in college. I will not grade homework and it will not be part of your grade. Homework will be assigned on a daily basis and you will be expected to do it by the next class period. We will go over the answers as a class and answer any questions you may have at that time. Since it is important to understand different approaches to solving problems, we will spend extra time discussing how to use your calculator to solve and check answers. Just because homework is not graded does not mean you should feel as though you do not need to do it. I will keep track of who has their homework completed on time, but again, it does not factor into your grade.Homework = 0% of overall grade

Participation/Effort- As in college, you are given no credit for simply showing up and doing what you are supposed to do. You are expected to be in class on time and prepared to learn every day. If you are gone a great deal, it will no doubt reflect in your grade without me calculating it in. What you do receive participation credit for is successfully completing tasks such as answering questions at the board, teaching a review topic in preparation for a test, etc. You must become skilled in the art of communicating math, both verbally and in writing, so you must practice, practice, practice! Special focus will be placed on showing how you arrive at your answer using both your long-hand math skills and also your calculator. How do you use the calculator to check your answers?Participation/Effort = 10% of overall grade

Tests/Quizzes- Short quizzes will be given regularly and usually consist of one or two questions taken from the AP Calculus practice test question bank. You will not be given notice and will only be allowed to use materials that you would be allowed to use on the AP Calculus test. Quizzes will always be given directly after we have gone over homework and you have asked questions about it, so make sure you understand the material or ask questions before we move on. Tests will be given at the end of each unit of study and will encompass all work completed during that unit, and will also include topics covered in past units. The tests will consist of two parts. The first part will include you presenting one or two random questions to the class. This part of the test will be graded on your correctness, but also your ability to communicate mathematically both verbally and in writing on the board. The second part of the test will be written and will follow the same structure as the AP Calculus test, including what materials you are allowed use.Tests/Quizzes = 60% of overall grade

Projects, Presentations & Class Work- Projects and presentations are an important part of this class. It is not simply enough to be able to answer questions, you must be able to apply your knowledge to real world situations and be able to accurately and effectively present your findings to others in a variety of ways. Specifics on projects will be given out during the year, but you can expect to average one major project every two units. Just as in the business world you would not get paid (for very long) if you did not finish the tasks assigned to you, in this class you will not get a grade on a project until it has met a high standard of quality. If your project does not meet this standard, it will be returned to you until it is finished. However, if it is not finished by the deadline, expect your grade to suffer as a consequence. Refer to the Projects portion on the next page for more detail.Projects, Presentations & Class Work = 30% of overall grade

Grades are awarded as follows (round decimals to nearest percent):

92% and above A 90-91% A-88-89% B+ 82-87% B 80-81% B-78-79% C+ 72-77% C 70-71% C-68-69% D+ 60-66% DBelow 59% F

Required Student Supplies:

A graphing calculator (a TI-83 Silver Edition or TI-84 is strongly recommended) A spiral bound notebook with pocket (preferred) or section within a three-ring binder exclusively for

homework assignments. Pencils and erasers Graph paper A covered textbook (provided)

Projects:

The following is a sampling of the projects we will complete throughout the year. This list is subject to change but adequately give the reader an idea of the type of work we will be doing. These projects were found at:

http://www.mecca.org/~halfacre/MATH/proj.htm

When possible, I will let students search for their own projects. They will have to be checked by me for appropriateness, but you should spend time working on a topic that you find interesting. All projects must be completed in written form and/or powerpoint form as you will also have to report your findings to the class when

http://www.mecca.org/~halfacre/MATH/proj.htm

finished, with special focus on communicating the math involved in your solution. In each report, aside from reporting your results, I would like you to describe how you used your calculator to help solve the problems.

Optimization-

A Dorm Room's a Dorm Room, No Matter How Small

After months of diligent work, I finally earned a promotion to Vice President for Development here at Who-U, which shocked quite a few Whos because, as you probably know, I am not more than two. Oh, they tried to just give me a drink of water and send me to bed, but I worked very hard on our outreach to other dust specks. I'm very proud of my fund-raising accomplishments, but sometimes the gifts come with very strict limitations on how they can be used. We just received such a donation, and when I went looking for help, your enterprising and resourceful professor naturally referred me to you.

We have a somewhat eccentric alum who has made a major contribution in memory of his favorite Chia Pet Airplane that recently passed away in a bizarre gardening accident (it's best we not discuss the details). As a fitting tribute to the dearly departed, the donor has designated that the funds be used to build a dorm in the shape of an airplane hangar, as shown below. There is an additional stipulation on the gift: the volume of the dorm must be exactly 225,000 cubic feet, which is one cubic foot for each sprout on the Chia plane.

We're in the planning stages with the architects now, and we would obviously like to minimize the cost of the building. This is where I need your help. Currently, the construction costs for the foundation are $30 per square foot, the sides cost $20 per square foot to construct, and the roofing costs $15 per square foot. I need your expert advice on what the dimensions of the building should be to minimize the total cost.While the cost of the flooring and siding has been fairly stable, a further complicating factor is that the cost of roofing material has been fluctuating dramatically for as long as I can remember (at least two months). In addition to your recommendation for the price of $15 per square foot, I also need a recommendation on the dimensions of the dorm if the roofing costs $R per square foot.We are meeting with the architects to discuss plans before Thanksgiving, so I would appreciate your report by November 11.It's nap time now,Cindy Lou

Riemann Sums-

Dear Calculus Students:

I recently became CEO of Spacely Sprockets after a somewhat messy hostile take-over, and I do not yet trust anyone at the company to help me with the critical decisions that will affect the success of the corporation. When I went looking for help, your enterprising and resourceful professor naturally referred me to you.

I am remodeling my (nearly) oval office and replacing the horrid orange carpeting left by my predecessor. With the Board and shareholders watching my every move, I want to be careful not to appear profligate. I have already decided on a tasteful aqua shag, but the carpeting comes on rolls in three different widths: 2.5 yards wide, 1.5 yards wide, and 1 yard wide.

I will use the same width for the entire office, but I'm not sure which one to choose. For each of the three widths, I need an analysis of how many square feet of carpeting I must buy and an estimate of the amount of carpeting that will be trimmed and wasted. I also have the option to special order the carpeting in any width. To impress the board with my thoroughness and all-around competence, I would like to know what width I should order so that no more than 15 square feet of carpeting are wasted.

I am including a sketch of my office, and I would appreciate an answer by October 1 since I need my office to be ready for an important meeting later in the month with AOL-Time-Warner to discuss the launching of the Sprockets Channel (``All Sprockets. All The Time''TM).

Exponentials/Newton’s Law of Cooling-

Dear Calculus Student:

I have a difficult problem for which no one in my factory can find a solution, and I hope that you can help me. Your intrepid and enterprising professor, Dr. Crannell, referred me to you. At the Jumping Gelatin Factory, we make 42 different flavors of gelatin and provide all the gelatin for all the local day-care centers and nursing homes, as well as for numerous fraternity and sorority parties. Because of this, turnaround time is extremely important to us, and lately we have become increasingly worried about the amount of time it takes to mix and cool our food product. As you may know from making gelatin at home, the preparation process is this: The gelatin powder is added to a quantity of boiling water and stirred at the same temperature until it dissolves. We have experimented with the time needed at this stage and have discovered that 2 minutes is the shortest amount of time we can take and still maintain the high quality of our dessert. The next stage is to remove the gelatin from the burner. At this point we add ice water (the same amount as the boiling water) and wait for the dessert to gel. It is at this stage that we are hoping to improve our efficiency. There are some people here who believe that the ice water should be added immediately; others believe that it should be added bit-by-bit; and still others believe we should wait an hour and then add the ice water. No matter which of these procedures we use, national gelatin guidelines proscribe that one hour after the gelatin is dissolved, we must place the entire mixture into a refrigerator and remove it only again when gelled. Of course, the cooler it is by this point, the faster it gels. The refrigeration temperature is also mandated, and so that can not be changed. The question I have for you is: Given the procedure described above, in what manner should we add the cold water to cool the mixture the fastest? I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible, but hopefully no later than September 30, (our budget is due the day after).

Distance, Velocity, and Acceleration-


I am so incredibly sorry to be writing to you again; I know that this is a really busy time for you but I hope that you can somehow find the time to help me once more. As you might have guessed from the official letterhead, I'm in trouble with the law once again. I'm writing you from the BCPD jail, where I'm being (yet again) held on suspicion of murder.

Here's how I got myself locked up this time: I went to visit the Absolutely Gorges, which have long been famous for being such a beautiful natural wonder, and which in the last few years have been famous because of the death of Bobo the Clown, who was shot out of a cannon and into the canyon nearly two years ago. At first it was believed that his death was suicide, but then some calculus students proved that the circus owner, Rick Rasterdly, murdered poor Bobo.

At any rate, the site of Bobo's death has become quite a tourist attraction, and so I took a Saturday to go visit the place. If I'd known that my infamous ex, Jeremy, and his sleazy pal Sheriff Gocher were going to be there, too, I never would have gone. Gocher says that I followed Jeremy there, but I swear that's not true. In fact, I hardly saw him the whole time I was there, except for a few seconds it's those few seconds that are causing all the ruckus.

What happened was I walked along the cliff-walk, like everyone else does. The cliff-walk is a steel walkway that winds along the face of the canyon and goes right by the place where Bobo met his end. It's pretty shaky and not

very wide, and within minutes I was grateful I'm not afraid of heights, because there's quite a drop. The walk runs more than 1000 feet below the top of the gorge, but 3,280 feet above the floor! There's a bend in the cliff-wall right where Bobo hit; just before that, there's a gate where people can, as the brochure says, "punch your ticket", which I did. (There's a photo-copy of my ticket on the next page). Since the murderer was discovered by a trick of timing, everyone is asked to synchronize their watches at this gate, but I wasn't wearing a watch. You can't see around the bend from the gate, and so they use this as a natural place to charge folks: you have to pay $3 to continue on.

So, I paid my $3, punched my ticket, and walked around the bend. I heard someone screaming, and thought at first it was some kind of joke, but as I came up on the place where Bobo died, I saw a person already falling down into the gorge, it was Jeremy, and he was the one screaming. I didn't even know it was Jeremy at the time, I just stood there, gripping the railing, staring awestruck. Suddenly Gocher ran toward me from further along the catwalk. He looked over the edge, saw the body, saw that I was pale as a ghost, and arrested me.

Gocher says that I knew that he and Jeremy and some buddies were going to be there that day, seeing the sights. He'd been with Jeremy until about a minute before his death, but then left Jeremy behind in order to he catch up with the rest of the group. By now, he's quite pleased that he's got me it's revenge for my escaping last time.

Jeremy's watch stopped at 1:54:09; the ticket puncher said that Jeremy had, along with Gocher and everyone else, set his watch to the official clock. My ticket, as you can see, was punched at 1:53:57. This gives me a whole 12 seconds to have walked from the punch, around the curve, and pushed Jeremy. At first I thought this proved I didn't do it, but when I counted out 12 seconds to myself, I realized it's a pretty long time. I just don't know what to do!

I am so sick of this jail cell. Please do help to get me out! My preliminary hearing is November 11 (eleven-eleven: Deputy Dirk would have loved it, rest his soul!). If you could find a way to clear me before then, I'd be eternally grateful!

Volume-


In these times of great concern over the health of our planet, there are few people who do not know about the overwhelming problem of waste disposal. We entrepreneurs at Eco-Sludge are not immune to this concern; in fact, we are directly responsible for disposing of the waste by-products for the larger part of the state of PU. Unfortunately, our former board of managers, which has now been forcibly retired by the state's Environmental Agency, spent the greater part of its energies on improving cost-effectiveness to the grave detriment of safety and health. As a result, we are now faced with a expensive, and what is worse, dangerous cleaning project.

One of the first tasks facing us is estimating the total damage done. Your keen and piercing professor, Dr. "Death" Crannell, told me of your resounding success with the Jumping Gelatin Factory, and so I am being so bold as to ask you for help.

Our sludge is stored in large containers buried beneath the ground. These containers were manufactured with ease-of-construction in mind, and are really nothing more than parabolic holes in the ground, lined with concrete and covered with lids. (The problem is that the concrete cracks because of the changes in temperature due to our erratic climate. The sludge has been seeping out into the ground and making its way to the water supply. Needless to say, this is a horrendous state of affairs for our local fishers as well as for any inhabitant wishing to drink water from the faucet).

There are several measurements concerning the storage containers that we can make with ease. Obviously, we can determine the diameter and the radius of the vat's opening with a large tape measure. We have a plumbing

rod that we can use to determine the depth of the container and also the depth of the sludge (this is done much the same way you check the oil in your car: by pulling the stick out and seeing how much of it is wet). According to specifications, each vat should be 40 feet across at the top and 40 feet deep. In reality, we have found that the measurements of the vats vary significantly, although the general parabolic shape does not. And, to no one's surprise, there is neither rhyme nor reason to the depth of sludge found in a particular vat.

What we can not easily determine is what we most need to know: the quantity (volume) of the sludge in any given vat. We are fairly certain that there is, however, a mathematical way of deriving this formula. We would be most grateful if you could help us with this, either in the standard (40'x40') case, or even better, in the more general case.

Our report to the trustees must be mailed by November 6; could you please get the answer to us before that date? We await your reply with eagerness.

Grading

NSBSD Approved Courses 2012/13

Grades are based on a points system. Daily class work, homework, quizzes, tests, and labs are all assigned points and your total points earned determine your grade. An assignment sheet will be handed out for each unit detailing exactly what work is required and the points possible for each assignment. Letter grades will be assigned as per district policy.

Late WorkLate work will be assessed a 10% per day deduction. Work over 5 days late will not be accepted and no credit will be given for the assignment.

AbsencesStudents are responsible to find out what assignments were given out during their absence. Board policy sets the time frame for make up work but for absences of more than 5 days YOU the student, and I need to get together and work out a schedule that takes into account your current work load. I am flexible on this and will work with you to determine a fair and successful make up assignment time line. The most important thing for a student to do when returning to school following an absence of any length is to come have a chat with me so we can work out a plan that will get the student caught up with her/his class work. Make up labs will be scheduled on specific days and it is your responsibility to be present for those labs if neededAttendance is necessary for success. Keep your absences to a minimum and get on top of your make-up work as soon as you return.

TardiesTardies will be dealt with as per BHS policy.

444 AP Chemistry I-1 [Return to top]

Barrow High SchoolTim Buckley

TEXTS: Chemistry The Molecular Science by Moore, Stanitski, and Jurs Modern Chemistry by Davis, Metcalfe, Williams, and Castka

CLASS SCHEDULE: AP Chemistry will meet 4 times each week: two 55 min classes and two 75-minute classes. Each week our time will be about equally divided between classroom work and lab work. Classroom work will consist of discussion, question/answer, lecture, and working problems.

COOPERATION: Students will be encouraged to work together both in and out of the classroom in order to promote learning and cooperation. All students will be taking the AP exam at the end of the year and I


believe that each student can be better prepared by employing attitudes and practices of group cooperation. AP chemistry is a team class!

QUIZES: We will have weekly quizzes made up of problems taken from AP Released exams. These will be primarily based on calculations involving that week’s topic and will stress mathematical skills. Your ability to perform chemical calculations including but not limited to dimensional analysis, metric conversions, mole/mass calculations, formula masses and significant figures will be tested continuously. Application of mathematical principles is a foundation piece for this course.

LABS: Lab reports will be kept in a single notebook that will be collected and graded every two weeks. THIS NOTEBOOK IS MANDATORY. Lab reports will follow the scientific method of problem solving format. Students will be regularly called upon to make a presentation to the class about their hypothesis and experimental design early on during a lab. This will promote class-wide collaboration during lab time which is intended to enhance the problem solving method while increasing the precision and accuracy of the experimental design. Time will be provided for at the end of each lab to review calculations in an effort to better understand sources of error, mathematical principles of the calculations involved, and uncertainty in measurements.

HOMEWORK: Homework assignments are due on quiz/test day. Since homework is designed to be practice for quizzes and tests, it is of little value after the fact. Therefore, late homework will not be accepted. Homework will be a mixture of chapter study guides, assigned problems from the text, and specific problems from AP Released Exams.

TESTS: Formative evaluations will be ongoing and often. Quizzes, open book problems, and short answer questions over labs will help you to self evaluate as to whether or not you’re catching on to the material. Summative exams will be given at the end of each chapter. There will also be cumulative quarterly and semester exams. Chapter exams will consist of 15 - 20 multiple-choice questions and 4 or 5 free response questions. Students receiving a grade of D or F on chapter exams will be REQUIRED to come in for test help sessions and retake the exam. Students receiving a grade of C on a chapter exam will be given the opportunity to do a test retake. In all cases the recorded grade will be an average of the two test grades. There will not be retake opportunities for quarterly and semester exams.

GRADING: A students grade is a weighted average of the following:Tests 35%Quizzes 25%Labs 30%Homework 10%
