SL1 - 4/23/12

This week we will finish our work with quadratics by looking at various applications. There are a lot of HW problems on Wed and Fri this week to help you prepare for our Unit Test which will be next Wednesday, May 3. This is the kind of thing that comes with practice and doing all of these is essential. Plan your time accordingly. (Note that you can start them before they are assigned...) See you in class,
Mr. Alei

My dear students: Every year about this time, certain students begin to realize that transcript grades will soon be issued. For students unhappy with their current grade, the response to this upcoming event takes two main forms: a) The Ostrich: put head in sand and hope for the best and b) The Peacock: make a squawk with the teacher (me), find out what you need to do to improve your grade, and do it over the next few weeks. If you have been taking the first approach, I strongly urge you to take the second, beginning immediately. For you see, if you wait too long to address the issue, you will have no options.
