Honors Precalculus is a challenging course and it is important to keep up
and it is important to keep up and study on a daily basis. Your routine
should be: take notes in class, study notes and complete homework in a quiet
place at home, ask questions and make corrections the following day in
class. With this routine, you should not have to 'cram' for hours the night
before a test.
