Teacher Comments• The class is a college-level class. Even
though we have a whole year to cover what is done in one semester at the college level, the class still moves more quickly than a normal high-school class. There are a lot of topics to cover and a lot of work to do. Students must be prepared to read and do work outside of class.
• Commitment to completing class assignments on time is an absolute essential element of the class. Time management skills are also necessary to finish assignments
• Grades in Calculus are very strongly determined by a student’s performance on exams
• Students must be organized, responsible and willing to ask for help themselves.
