MAIN TOPICS OF STUDY

The Library of Functions

Introduction to Calculus

All of the topics will be examined graphically, numerically, analytically, and

EXPECTATIONS

Homework will be given often. All assignments will be posted

both on Google classroom and my website.

Test will be administered as necessary. Some tests will be in

class and some will be take home.

There will be essays and projects. These are used to reinforce

topics covered in class

GRADING SYSTEM

All work is due on the assigned day. If a student is out of school, have

them take pictures of the work and email it to me at mbernstein@hazlet.org.

If work is one day late, the grade will be reduced by 20%. No work will be

accepted after that and the grade will be a Zero.

The rubric for this class is that 90% of the grade will be based on

test/quiz/essay/project and 10% on homework and classwork The second

and fourth marking period will include a midterm and final, which will be

counted for 20% of that marking period grade.

RESOURCES

If students need help, they may come in the morning and some days after

school. I am here by 7:00 AM. I will not always answer the exact questions

that are due, but I will provide guidance to help them discover the answer

on their own. A late bus is available Monday through Thursday at 3:30,

provided that it is not a teacher workshop afternoon.

Two of the better youtube review sites are Patrickjmt and Mathbff.
