AP Calculus

Welcome to AP Calculus at Bunn High School (grades 11-12)!

Teacher: Vicki Pritko

Welcome to the 2016-2017 Spring Semester!  I am so happy that you have decided to return this semester for AP Calculus.  I am looking forward to continuing a great year! 

It is my goal to provide all students with an educationally challenging experience in my classroom.  As an AP course, I expect students to participate in class, complete their assignments in a timely manner with quality, study for tests, and ask for help when needed. 

Our general topics for the course include Integration; Definite Integrals with Riemann Sums and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; Derivative and Integrals of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions; Differentials; Applications of Integrals; and AP Test Review.    

 

GRADING POLICY:  70% Tests/Projects (usually 3 per grading period)    30% HW/CW    

FINAL EXAMS:  This class has an AP Test on May 9th and a teacher-made exam at the end of the school year. 

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS:  Homework assignments are given weekly with due dates.  These assignments are designed to practice important skills in Calculus and to stretch your thinking.  It is your responsibility to complete these assignments on time.  Late homework will not be accepted. 

SUPPLIES: Each student is required to have a spiral notebook for notes, a small binder, a (working) graphing calculator, lots of loose leaf paper, graph paper, and a large supply of pencils and erasers.  *****ALL WORK MUST BE IN PENCIL ****

ABSENCES:  Students should make every effort to be in class every day.  If you are absent, it is your responsibility to the notes and assignments.  If a test is missed, it is your responsibility to schedule a make-up time within 2 days of returning to school.  
Remember:  YOU CAN BE EXEMPTED FROM THE FINAL EXAM!!  Be here and be on time.

STUDENT HELP:  Tutoring sessions will be provided during Power Lunch for students that need assistance (as soon as the Power Lunch schedule begins).  Appointments can be scheduled with me at other times if necessary.  Please ask – I am usually available most afternoons until 3:30.  Students are encouraged to form study groups outside of class. (That’s the way you make it in college.)

If the student is having problems with a certain topic, there are several ways to find help.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
