You may find that you want to look something up and revisit topics you've learned in this class. To make this easier for you, I've compiled all of the color lesson notes, plus the worked examples, into a single PDF file with a table of contents for you to take to college:

My process for writing recommendation letters
If you are planning to ask me for a letter of recommendation, and I've had you as a student for at least one month, I am happy to write a recommendation letter for you! However, the process typically takes 2-3 weeks, so please read through this document about what information I require from you before we can begin, and plan to provide this information to me at least 3 weeks prior to your deadline:

AP Calculus BC Detailed Course Topics Description
If you take this course for Rio Salado credit, you are also subject to the Rio Salado syllabus rules (these are still being developed for this year):
Rio Salado Course Syllabus - MAT221
Rio Salado Course Syllabus - MAT231
Here is the course introduction presentation we say in class the first week:
Welcome to AP Calculus BC!
You can optionally choose to take AP Calculus BC for college credit. If you want college credit, there are two ways to get it:
1) by taking the AP Calculus BC Exam in May
2) by enrolling in two 1-semester, 4-credit Rio Salado courses:
Fall: MAT221 Calculus w/Analytic Geometry I
Spring: MAT231 Calculus w/Analytic Geometry II
(You can take the AP exam *and* enroll in the Rio Salado classes, choose only one of these options, or do neither and just take the course for high school math credit.)

AP Review...
After Unit 8, our course reviews all course material in preparation for the AP Calculus BC Exam. All materials for our entire course review in preparation for the AP Calculus BC Exam are not available on this website due to copyright reasons. We will explain how to access materials to currently registered students in my class during class.
