PreCalculus Update for December 10, 2001

17. Journal Prompt for the Week of December 10, 2001:
What one thing would you like to see on the final, if you choose to take it? Why? What one thing would you like NOT to see on the final? Why?

Your 2nd Quarter Portfolio is due before 3:47 pm on Friday, December 14, 2001.
This Portfolio should have the Checklist in the front, and then the 7 items, in order for this Portfolio, including the Complete Journal Writings (1-17). Each item should have a unique Cover Instrument (CI). In back should be the 1st Quarter Portfolio, and then the 1st Quarter Midterm Portfolio. Your Total Grade for the Quarter in this class will come from this Portfolio. It might be wise to have me look at one or two items in your Portfolio before you finish it since we will not allow for corrections. Don't forget that the Ability to Test Item must be Examination Two, and to get the full value of this item, which is 30% of your grade, you must Correct the items you missed, and Reflect on why you missed each item. All items in this Portfolio should come from the Fodder list (below).

Fodder:
The following items qualify for use in this Portfolio, if you have done them and turned them in to be graded.
Journal (writings 1-17) = Journal
Examination Two (with Corrections, and Reflections) = Ability to Test
