You found it!!!
Welcome to our mutual venture into the land of math blogging. This is the place to come when you did not quite understand that last topic from class, or you were too shy or confused to ask your question, or you want to share an interesting and useful math website or new problem-solving strategy, or maybe just to chat about your math struggles and/or successes.
As with everything, you will get out what you put in.
So let's get started. Here is your 1st blog assignment:
Why are you taking AP calculus?
What do you want to get out of it?
What do you want from your classmates so that you might achieve your goals and have a good experience?
What do you want and expect from me as the teacher?
Describe your feelings about the class or content so far. (Feel free to be critical but always do so in a manner designed to improve rather than as simple whining)
So, click on New Post and start typing. Please do not respond as a comment; respond as a new post. (Too late for Rachel) When creating posts you have more publishing options such as colors, text size, bullets, spell check, and inserting images, that are not available in comment mode.
The first 2 people to post adequate responses will receive a 105% for this assignment. (It will be your job, if needed, to help others figure out how to get here and post.) The deadline for posting is Friday at 2:30.

-Well, I'm taking this class to help me as a Bio major in college.
Hopefully it will also help me with physics.
-I want to learn to solve problems more efficiently.
-I want to be able to help my classmates and get help from them too.
-I hope that as a teacher you will help guide us through difficult problems.
-I like the fact that the class was more guided today than it was last week, so we wasted less time just staring at the board, unsure about how to solve the problems. Also, it's nice to be doing some review, since it's been a few months since we've used a lot of this material.
I agree with rachel about class this week where it has been more guided rather than us having no idea what is going on.
So far i'm not quite sure why i am taking this class. I just don't want to find myself in a situation where i am limited in my choices for collges. "Sorry but you cannot enter this business school because you lack math credits." Or something like that.
As a class we do need some review on our math. Personally it feels like ages since i've even held my calculator.
Hopefully the rust will wear off and I can begin to fully enjoy the class.
Why are you taking AP calculus?
-To learn math, and possibly apply it to further learning in college.
What do you want to get out of it?
A broader understanding of mathematics.
What do you want from your classmates so that you might achieve your goals and have a good experience?
-Help if necessary.
What do you want and expect from me as the teacher?
-Good explanations, attempting to tie what we see into the real world.

-Excellent. Probably the best mathematics class I've had.
