L1 AP Calculus (AB) COURSE EXPECTATIONS MR. BURKE
L1 AP Calculus (AB) COURSE EXPECTATIONS MR. BURKE
Welcome to your AP Calculus course. This is a fast paced, honors (college) level course that follows the Calculus (AB) Advanced Placement Test topic outline as presented by the College Entrance Examination Board. You should expect an average of 45-60 minutes of homework daily, and extra help is available every day after school OR BEFORE SCHOOL BY APPOINTMENT (email me by 9PM the night before!). TAKING THE AP EXAM IS MANDATORY for the course, though students will not officially register for the test until the start of the second semester. IF YOU DO NOT FEEL UP TO THE CHALLENGE, YOU SHOULD SEEK AN ALTERNATE CLASS (L2 Calculus, for example). Feel free to contact me by email (cburke@hinghamschools.org), which I check several times daily, and please share it with your parents as well. In turn, I will use the email addresses provided to the school (as they appear in X2) for students/parents to send general course reminders by email, generally twice per quarter.
IN CLASS You will need the following every day:
-textbook (class copies available) -positive attitude
-math notebook -willingness to work with others
-graphing calculator (TI-83/84 series recommended) in class by Day 2
GRADING
Based on a quiz grade (100 pts.); quizzes may be unannounced.
Tests will count as 2 quiz grades (200 pts.) and AP Quizzes (and mini-quizzes) will count as 1/2 quiz (50 points).
Homework for the entire quarter will count as approximately two quiz grades.
Individual homework assignments (checked or collected daily) will be accepted for half-credit if shown within 1 day of original due date, but usually no credit after that.
Students will have the same number of days absent to make up homework, and twice the number of days absent to make up a quiz or test (so 1 day absent means homework is made up the next day, and missed quiz/test is made up within 2 days), and may be completed before school (by appointment), after school or during a study.
Homework without work shown will generally receive half-credit.
Projects will be weighted according to difficulty (½ -2 quizzes).
Non-seniors will complete a post-AP project after taking the exam in May, but NO FINAL EXAM for all students in the course.
Homework, participation, and attitude will all be used to reconcile borderline quarter averages.
