1st Chapter 1 Retest

AP Calculus 2009 - 2010

       "You have a major responsibility for what you learn here.  I will show  you how and give you all the
         training, practice, and support that I can -- but learning is your job, now and throughout your life."

1)  Be on time.  On time means seated in your desk prior to the bell.
        Tardies result in a loss of participation points and other consequences as specified in the student handbook.
2)  Be responsible.
        Come ready and prepared to learn.
        Bring materials to class everyday: binder, paper, pencil or pen, book, and calculator (TI-83, TI-84, TI-86 or TI 89).
        Cover your books and take good care of them.
3)  Be  kind, courteous, and respectful.
        Respect your rights and the rights of others to learn.
        Listen when others are talking.
        Keep aisles between desks as clear as possible.
        Respect school property and the personal property of others.
        When your teacher raises her voice, she needs your immediate attention:  your eyes are on her and you are ready to listen.
4)  Work at learning.
        Follow teachers’ requests. 
        Listen carefully when the teacher is giving directions.
        You are expected to use your class time productively. 
             Wasting time will result in a loss of participation points.
        You are expected to show  your own work on assignments, quizzes, projects, or tests.
        Homework must  be turned in on time.
             If absent, you are responsible for any missing assignments.
             For prearranged absences (sports, activities, appointments, college visits, etc.)
                   makeup tests, projects, quizzes, or assignments are due the day the student returns.
             Makeup tests, projects, quizzes, or assignments for all other absences are due within two school days upon return.
             To avoid a loss of participation points for absences, arrangements can be made to makeup work in advance.
             In case of an extended absence, make arrangements with me concerning reasonable due dates for assignments, tests, or quizzes.
5)  Ask for support.
        It is important that you learn.  Your questions are valuable to me.
        I am available for extra help in the morning after 7:30 a.m., at lunch (with appointment) and after school until 3:30 p.m.

HOMEWORK IS ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESS AND
LONG-TERM RETENTION OF CONCEPTS:

You and I are together for about 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
Let’s make the most of this time!

HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS

Homework is expected to be complete at the beginning of class on the due date.
It will not be accepted late unless you are absent.  (See Classroom Expectations)

5 - 10 POINTS PER ASSIGNMENT

Five to ten problems will be graded on correctness.
Each assignment must be labeled with your name and the section of the current assignment at the top of the page.
All work must be done down the left column of your paper.  DO NOT USE TWO COLUMNS.
The work must be shown (when needed) in order to receive credit for a graded problem.

YOUR COURTEOUS ATTENTION AND PARTICIPATION IN
CLASS IS NECESSARY SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY A
POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

You may earn from 3 to 5 participation points a day depending on the days activities.
In general, normal days will be worth 3 points.
Additional points will be added depending on the days activities, such as
oral quizzing responses and in-class projects.
