Class Guidelines
You are going to be learning differential and integral calculus as a tool to aid you in your work in the fields of science and technology and as a means of developing the critical thinking skills you will need to flourish in the world outside the classroom. A solid foundation in calculus and analytical geometry will allow you to fully explore the opportunities you will have here at Clark to learn and apply science and technology. You will be using a variety of tools (including computers and graphing calculators) to aid you in your work. You will be doing some of your work in small groups and some individually. Your grade in this course will be based on your performance, your participation, and your ability to demonstrate acceptable use of this facility and the equipment being made available to you. These components of your grade will be defined for you below. In addition, you will find expectations for classroom behavior. These guidelines are to be followed in addition to the schoolwide rules for behavior and use of facilities and equipment.
TEACHER AVAILABILITY: I will designate two days each week during which I will be available at lunch to provide extra help for students or to administer make-up work. It is up to each student to notify me whether he or she will be attending.
STUDENT CONDUCT: Students are expected to treat each other with courtesy at all times, and to otherwise behave in a manner consistent with a positive learning environment. Specifically, students are to be prompt, remain in their seats unless otherwise directed by the teacher, refrain from eating, drinking, or chewing gum in the classroom, and are to take responsibility for maintaining the classroom. Students who are unable to conduct themselves in such a manner will lose participation points, lower their citizenship grades, and will be subject to office referral.
If a student attempts to take credit for work that is not his own, he will receive a double
zero for that assignment, and be referred to the office.
CLASSWORK STANDARDS: All written work must be completed on 8.5 x 11 paper. Work should be done in pencil and should be legible. If I can't read it, I can't give you credit for it.
