AP Calculus BC

Textbook: Larson, Hostetler and Edwards, 8th Edition Online Textbook Resources - new!

Grading: The course grading policy will include the following breakdown: homework assignments, both long and short-term, will account for 20%, quizzes and tests with some thought to behavior, class participation and attendance will account for 60% and the final will cover the remaining 20%. In addition, the grading scale will be as follows: A 85% - 100%, B 75% - 84%, C 65% - 74%

Periodically, I will also give long-term (usually a week) homework assignments which will be turned in and graded. In addition, nearly every day I will ask for a self-evaluation of your homework which is due, on a scale of 0 to 2 points. 2 points if it is complete, 1 point if it is 75% complete and 0 for less than 75% complete. Furthermore, I will randomly select and check one row each day to verify. If I disagree with your evaluation, you will lose 15 points! In addition, I will check on various days.

Due to the use of the TI-89, each quiz and test will have a calculator section and a non-calculator section – each will be different colors.

Calendar: I will provide a calendar showing the dates of most quizzes, tests and homework assignments. All daily homework assignments are to be completed and kept in a notebook. I encourage the use of a spiral notebook for easy reference to prior assignments.
