Dear DA students,
I hope your finals week at NCC is going well. You have successfully completed two years of calculus this year. Congrats! If you are taking the AP Calc BC exam I recommend getting some tutoring so that you can be ready for the exam. While you have learned a lot of content you haven't learned the nuances of the exam and what the College Board is looking for. Therefore I have recruited Ben Harste to help get you ready for the AP Calc BC exam. The exam is on Monday, May 24th.
Mr. Harste will tutor you from 7:50 - 9am on Tuesday 5/18 and Thursday 5/20 on Zoom. On Monday 5/17 I will give some example Free Response Questions for you to work on so that you can practice with the College Board format and have that experience when you meet with Ben. On Wednesday 5/19 I will give you a previously released multiple choice exam. I have reserved the red flex space at Jefferson for us each morning. You can participate in the tutoring and FRQ practice online or in person. Ben and I will send out Zoom links for those of you who want to participate virtually. However I will not be able to administer the released exam online. The College Board won't allow it.

5 Research-Backed Studying Techniques Teachers can guide students to avoid ineffective studying habits in favor of ones that will increase their learning outcomes. By Edward Kang, April 4, 2019 https://www.edutopia.org/article/5-research-backed-studying-techniques Too often people imagine that long hours of studying are the best path to being a model, straight-A student. Yet research shows that highly successful students actually spend less time studying than their peers do—they just study more effectively. Teachers can help all students learn to more effectively use the time they spend studying by sharing research-proven techniques. STUDY LESS, WITH GREATER INTENSITY In this era of social media and digital distractions, many students—and adults—do a lot of multitasking. But there is no such thing as successful multitasking, because much of the time spent is wasted on context switching, where the brain has to restart and refocus. Consider the formula “work accomplished
