Reflect on Learning Standards

Scan back through the website to the CP Calculus Power Standards posted in August. Read through our learning objectives and post a comment on one standard you know really well and one you still struggle with (or have not yet learned).

  1. I understand many of the standards well. I understand the n ^n-1 rule really well and limits was okay for me. I really like standards because they help you prepare for whats to come.

  2. I have learned many of the standards quickly but there have been a few that i still have trouble grasping. I know how to do the product, quotient, and chain rule and i have been struggling with limits still.

  3. I don't know limits that well but I understand most of the derivatives very well. I don't like standards

  4. I feel as though I understand a great deal of the standars and I am sufficient in the area of finding derivatives, including formulas as well as the chain rule that we have recently learned. However, I feel as though I am still struggling with limits and could do with a refresher, as it is probably my weakest point in this class.

  5. I understand how to take derivatives using different methods such as product rule and sum rule to name a few but I still do not understand derivative notation dy/dx.

  6. I understand using the rules for taking derivatives well, but I do not have a good understanding of limits.

  7. Looking back on the standards I understand a lot of the standards that we have learned already. I understand the limits and I am definitely getting a better grasp on derivatives. But I still need to work on the chain rule and combining all the derivative rules together in one equation.

  8. Looking back at the standards, I realized that I understand most of the standards. One standards that I understand very well is using the chain rule to find the derivative of composite functions. At this point, I can find the derivative of composite functions that require the chain rule without having to do any work. However, I found that I still struggle with finding the derivatives of functions by looking at a graph.

  9. As I review the standards, I realize that I know many of the standards. I have a great grasps on limits (for the most part), and I am doing well with derivatives. Although I can do product rule and quotient rule, I believe I still need to work on finding the chain rule. The standards are excellent guidelines that help me know exactly what I need to learn.

  10. Looking back, I've learned how to get derivatives really good. I'm not bad with the chain rule, and the limits helped me to get some derivatives too. I should do Khan though...

  11. I have a pretty good grasp of finding derivatives and using all the rules we've learned so far. I understand how to use the chain rule in most circumstances. I'm pretty clear on limits; I know the formula and the other steps you may need to take if the formula doesn't give you the answer initially. I don't really remember how to find the equation of a tangent line, but with a little review I'm sure I'd be able to pick it up again. I still have trouble with domain and range and max and min values, but my main issue is writing it in proper notation.

  12. Out of the multiple standards for calculus, I think that I understand Derivatives the best. I am able to recognize various types of notation for derivatives and get derivatives using different rules. I don't think that we have learned much of standard 6, particle problems. However, I do remember using them in previous projects and having some trouble finding velocity and acceleration functions.

  13. Reflecting on the standards for calculus, I think I have a pretty firm grasp at limits and solving for the derivative using the power rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. However, one standard I still struggle with is finding the equation of a tangent line.

  14. I understand the how to find derivatives the best. I can use the quotient, sum, product and exponential rule. I think it is the easiest to understand. However, I still do not understand how to find an equation using a tangent line.

  15. Reflecting back on the course standards, I understand much more now than I did at the beginning of the year. I understand derivatives and what they are, how and when they are used in the real world, and how to solve for them using the different rules. I still struggle with finding the equation of tangent lines and solving derivatives using the algebraic formula. I hope to fully grasp these concepts by the end of the year!

  16. After taking over half a year of calculus, I can now recognize what derivative notation looks like, as well as finding derivatives using the product, quotient, and chain rules. I still struggle with word problems, applying the math. I also am not sure I have learned how to find velocity at a particular point, but I'll keep working on those skills until I have accomplished them.

  17. I know most of the methods and standards involving derivatives and feel confident enough with limits and graphing. I could use more practice with chain rule and distance formula though.

  18. I feel confident in taking derivatives with the power, quotient, and chain rule, but could use more help with the derivatives of trigonometric functions and problems with log, natural log, and e.
