Crazy schedule today. This snow stuff is not good for us in the AP world!
So, your homework is to work on the take home quiz that you'll have due on Monday. Also, read chapter 17 for Monday (reading quiz likely). I know it's a lot, but we really gotta work hard until May 5th. I've already been thinking of fun stuff for after the exam, such as analyzing the statistics of Deal or No Deal! Woo!
Stay focused until then, I know it's exciting. You probably can't sleep.
Tomorrow period H--AP registration. Sign up.

I originally wrote a longer post, but it got deleted. So this is round 2.
HW: Quiz A/Quiz B worksheet from class. We'll go over it when you return (tomorrow or Thurs) and have a quiz (Quiz C, coincidentally), the following day.
Get it done.
It's gametime from now until May 5.

Tomorrow's Review Cancelled....:(
Hello all.
I'm very sorry, but I've felt pretty much like death since Saturday. I'm not going to be in tomorrow, and thus can't have a review. I've attached a list of topics for you to study in the "Stat Downloads" section--it's exactly what's on the exam. There are 28 multiple choice questions (you scored out of 25, so 3 are extra credit), and there are 7 free response questions, of which you choose 5. Each free response should be around 11 minutes. Remember, this is like an AP exam--you'll need to write thoroughly, addressing all details. You need to show all of your work clearly and completely.
Look at the paperback study guides you have. They'll provide multiple choice practice, with answers, as well as free response questions with solutions walked through. Also, remember that all of our notes are online, and the blog also has links to some good review sites you can use to study.
If you can, I highly recommend you study in groups. If you can explain something to a friend, then you'll develop a much stronger understanding of it yourself.
I apologize to all of you for the inconvenience. Study hard. I'm confident you can all do very well on this exam after working through it and breaking down the content myself.
See you all on Wednesday. Don't forget your calculator, and bring a couple pencils. I can' t stress enough that you have to write thorough, detailed, complete, fantastic, chock-full-of-accurate-vocabulary, and correct answers.
And I know, I still owe you some food.
The first "chunk" of bullets is an outline of the free response on your exam.......

Yo yo yo....
Fun times today.
As you all know, you have a type 3 writing assignment due on Monday. Some of the math may be difficult as we were cut a little short in class, but try your best. This assignment actually leads us perfectly into chapter 16, which we'll start Monday. We'll then use what we learn to better explore "Chuck-a-Luck" and you'll use this knowledge to make some revisions to your writing Monday night. That's right...I hope you read this blog...your paper Monday won't be your final grade, you'll have one night for revisions.
Other than that, enjoy your weekend. Chapter 16 notes are online, as is the Chuck a Luck exploration in the "Stat Downloads" section.
See you Monday!

Alright, we're back. We've got 7 days until exams, and it's going to be a tough 7 days. We have a lot of content to push through; I know snow days are nice at the time, but in the long run they're no good for us AP classes. The AP exam doesn't move no matter how many days we miss, so we end up with more to cover in less time.
Period D: Tonight you need to finish the multiple choice questions we had in class. If you didn't get the assignment over break done, get it to me by tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll start with our "Chuck-a-Luck" exploration and get ready to be tv stars.
Period H: We're doing things a little backwards...today we'll start analyzing "Chuck-a-Luck" and your Type 3 writeup will be due on Monday. Tomorrow in class we'll work on the multiple choice problems, and wrap up chapter 15.
Both classes will start chapter 17 this Monday, and we have to push through it quickly. Then, Thurs/Fri we'll review for the exam.
There will also be an after-school review session during exams week. I'm not sure which day, but probably Tuesday seeing as period D has their exam Wed.
Get focused. We just have to tough it out and work hard til exams, and then we can take a breather and start fresh.
And I'm glad we're back!
