TRANSCRIPT
Mr. Bernstein
Advanced Placement Calculus AB
MAIN TOPICS OF STUDY
Limits
Derivatives
Integrals
Slope Fields and Differential Equations(Formerly directional
fields)
All of the topics will be examined graphically, numerically,
analytically, and verbally.
EXPECTATIONS
Homework will be given on a nightly basis. 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
In late March, students will be required to stay after school on an agreed
day so that they may take a sample AP Exam. This is a 3 hour exam.
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 [email protected].
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 100% of the grade will be based on
test/quiz/essay/project. 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.
