Projects Tue. 5/22 - Fri. 6/1

The non-seniors remaining in the class are working in two teams on projects 8.2 (disease testing) and 8.9 (population models) from the NCSSM "Contemporary Calculus" textbook. On Friday 6/1, each team will informally present its work to the other half of the class.

Final Exam Wed. 5/23 and Fri. 5/25

There are no further homework assignments before the final exam.

The final exam will be during our regular class time on two days: Wednesday 5/23 (50-minute multiple-choice with calculator) and Friday 5/25 (45-minute free-response without calculator).

Seniors are not expected to attend class on Tuesday 5/22 and Thursday 5/24. On those days, students in other grades will begin work on a final project.
