=03/25:= =During class next Monday (03/30) you will be working with the same partner you were randomly assigned at the beginning of this week to complete problems from Section 7 - 1 to 7 - 3 on infinite series, which will count as a check-in grade. You should know how and when to use each of the tests for convergence v. divergence, as well as how to find the sum of a geometric series.=

=03/24:= =Check-in Problem #29 is due on or before Friday, April 3rd=

=03/23:= =Information about Test #8 on Chapter 6...=

=03/06:= =Information about Test #7 on Chapter 5...=

=02/13:= =Due to the snow days the take home check-in problems will now be due on Tuesday, 02/24. Also please click on the "Assignments" tab to download a homework assignment to be completed prior to class on Monday, 02/23 (Section 5 - 5 Activity #1). You will also find two activities that introduce the next big topic (area & volume) that we will be talking about in Chapter 6. Although these will not be due until a few days after we return from vacation, I encourage you to take advantage of the time off to try to get ahead because we will be moving at a brisk pace from here on out!=

=02/08:= =Please click on the "Assignments" tab to download the three take home check-in problems (#25, 26, & 27) that cover Section 5 - 1 to 5 - 4. Also please click on the "Documents" tab to download the rules.=

=01/20:= =Your midyear exam will be on Thursday, January 22nd from 9:45 - 11:15 in Room 317. The exam will be comprised of problems similar to those that were featured on Test #1, Test #2, Test #3, and Test #4 (Chapters 1 - 3).=

=The exam will be given in two parts...= =Part I (Calculator): 6 problems ~ 45 minutes= **Part II (No Calculator): 6 problems ~ 45 minutes**

=01/12:= =Test #5 on all of Chapter 4 will be given this Thursday and Friday...= =Part I (No Calculator): 6 problems= **Part II (No Calculator): 6 problems** = =

=01/06:= =The partner take-home check-in problems (#23 & #24), which are due on Tuesday, will be the last check-in problems of Term 2.=

=12/16:= =We will be having two check-in problems during class on Friday on finding and using the derivative and the anti-derivative of a function with "e" in it. To prepare you should review the problems on 4 - 2 Activity #1, as well as the from the textbook on p. 356 - 359. You will not be allowed to use a calculator on the check-in problems.=

=12/10:= =We will be having two check-in problems on Tuesday. For the first problem, you will be required to find and use the derivative of a natural log function (4 - 1 Activity #1 & p. 329 - 330 in the textbook). For the second problem you will be required to find and use the anti-derivative of a function that relates to natural logs in some way (4 - 1 Activity #2 & p. 338 - 339 in the textbook) on Tuesday. You will not be allowed to use a calculator on these problems.=

=12/01:= =Our first Test of Term 2 will be given in two parts on Monday, 12/08 (no calculator) & Tuesday, 12/09 (calculator) and will cover all of Chapter 3. In addition to studying all notes, activities, and practice worksheets from Chapter 3, you should review Check-in Problems #10 - 18 and problems #2, #3b, and #10 from Test #3.=

=12/01:= =We will be having a check-in problem on the methods for approximating a definite integral (Section 3 - 7) on Thursday, 12/04. Please note that you will be allowed to use a calculator on this problem.=

=11/21:= =We will be having two check-in problems on Section 3 - 6 on Wednesday. On one of the check-in problems you will be expected to show that you understand how to go from a quantity equation to a rate equation using derivatives (Activity #1/WS #1 & 2). On the second problem you will expected to show that you understand how to go from a rate function to an amount function using a definite integral (Activity #2 - 4/WS #2 & #3).=

=Please note that you will be allowed to use a graphing calculator on this problem.=

=11/11:= =On Friday we will be having three check-in problems. You will be given a graph or two and then asked questions similar to those found on the activities and practice worksheets from Section 3 - 3 (Average Value/Average Rate of Change), Section 3 - 4 (2nd F.T.C.), and Section 3 - 5 (Building a function to determine its absolute maximum/minimum value).=

=10/27:= =Our final test of Term 1 will be given in two parts on Thursday and Friday and will cover everything that we have learned this year up to evaluating definite integrals (Section 3 - 2), including limits and continuity (Chapter 1) and derivatives (Chapter 2). Both parts of the test will be non-calculator.=

=Part I (Thursday, 10/30): 4 multiple choice + 4 open response= **Part II (Friday, 10/31): 3 multiple choice + 3 open response**

=10/24:= =Our final two check-in problems of Term 1 will be given during class on Tuesday. One of the problems will require you to demonstrate your understanding of the properties of definite integrals (3 - 2 Activity #1). The other problem will require you to evaluate a definite integral using the fundamental theorem of calculus (3 - 2 Activity #2).=

=10/20:= =Our next check-in problem will be given during class on Thursday and will require you to find antiderivatives using the methods that we discussed in Section 3 - 1.=

=10/15:= =We will be having our second test of the year next Tuesday. The emphasis will be on the topics that we have discussed since the last test (Chapter 2), but you should also be prepared for problems that overlap with the first test (Chapter 1). The test is non-calculator and consists of 10 questions all together (5 multiple choice + 5 short answer/open response). You will be able to start the test as soon as you arrive to class.=

=10/15:= =Our next check-in problem will be given during class on Friday. You will need to be able to discuss the characteristics of a function by using a graphing calculator.=

=10/03:= =Our next two check-in problems will be given during class on Thursday. You will need to be able to analyze the behavior of a given function by finding and investigating either its first or its second derivative.=

=09/24:= =Check-in Problem #5 will be due at the beginning of class on Tuesday.=

=09/24:= =The test on Friday will be non-calculator and has 15 problems (some multiple choice and some open response).=

=09/23:= =Our first test of the year will be given on Friday and will cover everything that we have discussed since the beginning of the year on limits, continuity, derivatives, and the theorems (Section 1 - 1 to 1 - 5). The material that we will discuss on Wednesday and Thursday on critical values and local extrema (Section 2 - 1) will NOT be on the test.=

=09/17:= =Our next check-in problem will be given on Monday and will require you to analyze the differentiability of a piecewise function. Please note that you may need to use the product, quotient, and/or chain rule to complete the problem so you should be comfortable with these by Monday.=

=09/15:= =Our next check-in problem will be given on Wednesday and will require you to be able to use the methods of finding and applying the derivative that we have discussed so far.=

=09/09:= =Our next check-in problem will be given on Friday and will cover asymptotes, limits, and continuity of rational functions.=

=09/04:= =We will be having our first check-in problem of the year on limits and continuity on Tuesday.=

=09/04:= =Please remember to get a large binder, a notebook or loose-leaf lined paper, and a graphing calculator by Monday=
