How to Survive Precalc Functions

With Mr. Jackson

Step 1: DO YOUR HOMEWORK

•This probably seems like a “duh” sort of thing but not really.

•Homework isn’t due until the end of the unit, do it before the night before the test▫You’ll get behind otherwise

•It’s stressful the night before!•You feel behind in class if you

don’t do it!

Step 2: STUDY FOR YOUR TESTS•“Oh I just did the review! That’s good!”

•Look over your notes!!! Not everything is on the review! Stuff from past units is there too!

•Review past units!

NO

Step 3: GET HELP

•Not everything in this class is easy. A lot of it is complicated and some of it is really hard.

•Don’t get behind, ask for help right away.•Jackson gets to school around 4:30am and

is here until 4pm there’s no reason not to get some help

•It makes the class easier•Sometimes everyone just needs one on

one help

Step 4: STUDY SOME MORE

•It never hurts to study a lot…

Just saying….

Pick your grade!

A C E

Getting Motivated

What it takes to get an A

•Studying

•Doing your homework ontime (though it doesn’t hurt to leave a problem or two on every worksheet to save for review)

•Getting help when needed

What it takes to get a C

•Some effort

•Maybe getting help

•Doing 50% of the homework

•Not really studying

What it takes to get an E

•No effort

•Hah! What studying?!

•No homework or a few problems

•What’s getting help?

Now maybe you don’t have to yell or scream like this guy… or stay up till three in the morning but you have to want to pass in order to pass

Step 5: UTILIZE PEOPLE IN YOUR CLASS•Study together, work on the worksheets

together▫It’s easier to ask a question from a friend

sometimes▫And friends/classmates can explain it better

(somestimes)

Overall just remember…

•To do your homework•Study•Get help

…And you will be absolutely fine.
