6. Assignment and other work due on that day
*Note:

1. The use of a graphing calculator in AP Calculus is considered an integral part of the course.

Students should be using this technology on a regular basis so that they become adept at using their graphing
calculators. Students should also have experience with the basic paper-and-pencil techniques of calculus and be
able to apply them when technological tools are unavailable or inappropriate. (Excerpt taken from the College
Board, Calculus Course Description.)
