Assignments and Methods of Evaluating Student Progress
1. Typical Assignments
A. A ladder 10 feet long leans against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away
from the base of the wall at a speed of 2 feet per second, how fast is the angle between
the ladder and the wall changing when the bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of
the wall?
B. Describe the motion of a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given interval. x= 44t, y=2t+5, 0 < t < 2
2. Methods of Evaluating Student Progress
A. Attendance
B. In-class assignments
