Learning Calculus

Calculus is likely to require that you make a substantial

investment of TIME
One of the best ways to learn anything is to explain it to
someone else. Working in groups is a good way to provide
yourself with this opportunity.
Math is not a spectator sport. You will need to actively
participate, roll up your sleeves and get that pencil moving.
Expect to have to do more work and for the course to move
at a faster pace.
This course will require a greater degree of maturity and
self-initiative. Thinking and understanding concepts will be
emphasized here.

People working together can benefit from having access to
several different viewpoints
Discuss problems, but answer them in your own way and be
sure to go solo on a few exercises
Remember, you will be tested as an individual
Prior to group discussion, make an honest effort on your
own to solve the problems using your own wits, knowledge,
and experience
Prepare early for the exam
