Textbook: Erdman et al. Functions & Applications 11. Toronto: McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 2008. Please take good care of your textbook, and bring it to every class. You are responsible for keeping your book in good condition – the school must be reimbursed if the textbook is lost or damaged. Class Routines: 1. When the bell rings to start class: Everybody is leading a crazy, busy, hectic life. At the start of each class, when the bell rings, I invite you to take a moment to yourself. Stop what it is you are doing, close your eyes, pay attention to your breathing; just for one minute. If you are late, please respect your classmates and wait outside the room until we are ready to begin. 2. During class: Everyone will be learning at their own pace throughout this course. Most days, it will be up to you to find the learning goal you are currently working on, and work toward completing it. You may be working on your own, with a partner, or in a group. It will benefit everyone in the class, however, if you are working diligently, and not being a distraction (to yourself or those around you). Please let me know how I can help. 3. At the end of class: During the last five minutes of class, please work in silence. This will allow us to focus on finishing up what we need to accomplish that day. Getting that one last task done before the bell goes will help you stay on top of your work for the day.
