Calculus is a GREAT course, but it is also very difficult by nature. I exercise an open door policy and strongly urge students to see me for additional tutoring as often as needed. If two or three days of class pass and you find yourself confused, PLEASE see me for additional help. NEVER go any longer than three days (and I really suggest only two to be safe) without seeking assistance. I also suggest that parents/guardians contact me as soon as you feel your child is experiencing a prolonged period of difficulty. Communication is essential and can alleviate much of the stress that is created by the difficulty of the content material. If you have any questions or concerns in regard to the course or in general please do not hesitate to contact me.
2025-2026 Assignments/Homework (Tentative): When possible, deadlines in relation to major assignments will be established in collaboration with the class and instructor. All assignments are to be submitted when class begins on the respective due date. If assigned due dates create major conflicts please tell me in advance and we will attempt to make alterations (if possible).
