End-of-Lesson Quizzes
Students will be required to verify that they have completed a lesson by taking an end-of-lesson quiz. These quizzes will be administered and graded completely online. The end-of-lesson quizzes will be a means to monitor that the student is keeping pace with the course, and that the student is making acceptable progress through the course content.

Online AP Calculus Personal Questions Board
The Personal Questions Board is located on the AP Calculus Lesson Page. Clicking this link allows students and Teaching Partners to post question about calculus to the AP Calculus Assistants and to Dr. Jim Choike, course instructor, directly online. All questions and their replies are kept private and are available to the individual questioner throughout the year for reference and review.

AP Calculus News Briefs
The AB Calculus and BC Calculus News Briefs contain the latest information related to these courses as well as the latest information about AP Calculus from the College Board.

Calculus Links
A page called Calculus Links contains useful calculus links that literally turn a computer into a home library of reference material of calculus and mathematics, in general.

AP Calculus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Board
As questions of various types are asked or posted in the course, some of these questions will merit posting on the AB Calculus FAQ Board or the BC Calculus FAQ Board, because of their general nature and usefulness to others taking part in the course. These will be posted with answers on the FAQ Board. This location will grow over time.
