01 Hebdomas Prima - Week I - Homework Expectations

Vocabulary

You are all responsible for classwork and homework, even if you were absent on the day these were assigned. Our class blog makes clear what we did in class and what homework has been assigned. It is you responsibility to inform yourself about the class work and homework that you missed by reading the blog before the first class after days you missed.

When there is no specific homework assigned, I expect you to study the vocabulary sets in Quizlet. Here is the link to our class's Quizlet sets. You will be asked to join the class the first time you use this link. If you create a Quizlet ID that contains your first or last name, I will be able to give you extra credit for studying the sets. Quizlet tells me what sets you studied and how much time you spent doing it.  I cannot give credit for user names that I cannot connect with a specific student.

Because vocabulary study is a standing homework assignment, you can expect a pop quiz any day.

Links to study sets are posted in the blog. You will not retain the vocabulary unless you study at least 15 minutes every day; 30 minutes is better. So, you always have vocabulary to study, both past and present. You should also review frequently the notes in your notebooks.

Many students find it very helpful to make their own vocabulary cards.  With these you can test yourself any time or ask friends and family to test you.  I highly recommend making 3x5 cards of vocabulary words.

Derivatives Worksheet

Each week in which we focus on a chapter of the textbook you are expected to complete the "Pre-reading Derivatives" worksheet for that chapter. You can find them all here. Unless otherwise noted, the chapter worksheet is due every Wednesday.
