PreCalculus Update for September 17, 2001 5. Journal Prompt for the Week of September 17, 2001: What has been the most difficult part of PreCal so far? What are you doing to try to make it better? Your Portfolio is due on Monday September 17th. If you fail to turn it in, please turn it in as soon as possible. Remember the 7% discount rule, and the fact that the MidTerm Progress Report grade comes from this Portfolio, with the other half of your 1st Quarter grade coming from the next Portfolio. Once you get your Portfolio back you will need to look it over, and calculate your grade on it. Email me what grade you calculated. Recall that you may correct this Portfolio if you wish. This should be done by Thursday and include a note to me about what you want re-graded. You should have done the following: - Written in your Journal. - Check your grades on GradeViewer. - Turned in Section P.5 - Pages 64-65 - Problems 9-24 all, 31-42 even. - Finish Quiz One Lite. - Corrected and Reflected on Quiz One Lite.
