  • While I am away...

    Posted by Michael Hughes at 5/10/2013 7:00:00 AM
    Today while I am administering the AP exam, you are to work on the following:
     
    1. Your first priority is to finish your "essays" for Chemistry DC
    2. If you have finished your essay, then you are to complete any other remaining work for Chemistry DC
    3. If, and ONLY if, you have finished all your work for Ms. Thorman's class, then you are to work on an assignment for another class.

    No one is to sit and converse; everyone must be working and be perfect.

  • Chapter 5 Homework Extension

    Posted by Michael Hughes at 4/13/2013 7:00:00 AM
    A few of you may have noticed there were some technical issues with Mathlab.  I managed to fix these, and the chapter 5 assignments (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) are now up and accessible.  Because of the lost time I have decided to grant you another day to complete these assignments; the new due date is Monday, April 15.
     
    Just a reminder, I have established new, permanent guidelines for submitting the homework.  You will now have the ability to submit late assignments.  However, there are limitations to this.  You will be penalized 30% for any work submitted after the due date; you will also have ONE week after the due date to submit your work.  After this date, no work will be accepted, and the grade will be final.
     
    If there are any other technical issues or questions about the homework, please contact me.  Good luck!

  • Not here today :(

    Posted by Michael Hughes at 3/26/2013 7:00:00 AM
    I will not be in class today, so please complete this assignment.  I want you to read and TAKE NOTES on the last part of chapter 3.6 (part 3: "Use Half-Angle Formulas to find Exact Values").  Once you are done with your notes (which I will check for tomorrow), you may begin on section 3.6 (or whatever section you were stuck at).  If there is anything you need opened please let me know ASAP.  Please stay on task for the substitute teacher; make the best impression possible.

  • Exam Review

    Posted by Michael Hughes at 2/27/2013 7:00:00 AM
    I have decided that your exam will be on Monday, March 4.  This should give you ample time to complete your exam review as well as ask any questions that might arise.  Because Friday is a flex day, it is imperative that you get most of the review done tonight; this will allow us time for in class review on Thursday.  I would suggest doing a few problems from each of the sections tonight so that you will cover all the major topics from the chapter.
     
    Once again, any questions may be posted to the blog, or you can contact me directly if necessary. Please use your time wisely.  Your exam review is out of the book; it is:
     
    Page 176: 1-45 odd, 47-51 odd, 55-59 odd, 63-67 odd, 81, 82, 86, 89, 91, 97

  • Unit Circle Assignment

    Posted by Michael Hughes at 2/5/2013 11:00:00 AM
    For tonight's assignment, you must do the following:
     
    1.  CONSTRUCT A COMPLETE UNIT CIRCLE: this shall include all "30,45,60" degree angles in each quadrant, as well as the axis angles.  In addition to drawing each angle, you must label all angles with both their degree and radian measure.  Additionally, you must also write the coordinates for each corresponding point along the unit circle.  *NOTE*  Use your book to help you with this; this is supposed to be the easy part of the assignment.
     
    2.  COMPUTE THE SIX TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS FOR EACH ANGLE ON THE UNIT CIRCLE: for example, start with 0 and compute sin(0), cos(0), tan(0), csc(0), sec(0), and cot(0); then move to pi/6 and compute sin(pi/6), cos(pi/6), and so on.  Again, you will have to find all six trig ratios for EACH angle on the unit circle.  We discussed how you can find these ratios from the unit circle in class today.
