NEED TO CLARIFY ABOUT UNIT S "ASSESSMENTS" - I FORGOT TO MENTION TODAY!!

1. For Assessment #2, as mentioned in class, the angle you choose to represent SHOULD NOT be a Unit Circle value... that is way too simplistic for Math Analysis.  For example, you don't want to choose 60*, which could be 120*/2 as a half angle and 30*+30* (or many other possibilities) as the sum/difference.  The simplification process is just too easy and will not show your proficiency at these formulas.

2.   For Assessments #3 & #4, your blog post must include the regular 2 "student video paragraphs".  This is on the grading rubric in section 1.

**Extra Credit on Assessment #4 - do a student video for PQ6 #8-13 (just one of them...)  I do have a worked out explained key on the Unit S page you can use, but I would love to have video explanations for next year's (and this year's) students.  If you do this, post it on your blog as "Unit S Assessment #4 Extra Credit" and submit it to me VIA EMAIL.  I will post a link to your video on in the turquoise box for others to use as well!

3. For Assessment #1 - The problems you write for #1-4 should be of varying difficulty.  This means that you should have:

ALSO - IT SAYS "SUM TO PRODUCT WITH ANGLE VALUES" TWICE - SHOULD BE ONE WITH ANGLE VALUES AND ONE WITH VARIABLES

  • one with a coefficient (like PQ1 #3,4 or 6)
  • out of the two with angle values, one should be in radians and one in degrees
  • one with variables that has a "negative angle" in the beginning that could be converted using even/odd identities first (like PQ1 #7)
  • one that has a BINOMIAL as the value for u/v (like PQ1 #9-12, PQ2 #9-12)

4. For Assessment #1 - Problem #5 
  • There are not many choices for half-angles within one revolution of the unit circle that AREN'T already used in the SSS... so...
  • The problem you come up with must use an angle value for "u" that is OVER one revolution (u/2 can still be within 1 revolution)


5. For Assessment #1 - Problem #6
  • Make sure your notation for the quadrants is given appropriately as shown in the SSS
6. For Assessment #1 - Problem #7
  • Make sure your notation for the quadrants is given appropriately as shown in the SSS


**Otherwise, please read over the directions carefully and make sure you do everything you are supposed to  :)
