FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents. Does this class have alot of homework? Yes, we typically do two assignments a night because the class goes twice as fast as a normal class. We will do twelve units in one semester as opposed to six in one semester. However, some nights we will have 1 assignment or no assignment. Do I have to buy an expensive TI calculator? It is not required, but would be very helpful on homework. We do have a class set of TI-83's for use at school. My advice is: If you are going to be taking several more college prep math classes, then it would probably be a good long-term investment to purchase a TI-83 , a TI-83 Plus, a TI-84, or a TI-84 Plus for the rest of high school , college, and beyond. They typically cost between $80- $120, however, I have seen them as low as $67 at Office Max or on E-bay. |
