Preliminary Survey on Math Background

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

This is an ungraded and anonymous survey (hence the google form, rather than email or Blackboard) for me to evaluate the distribution of your math and statistics backgrounds. You only need to write your FINAL answers here, feel free to download the PDF and work out the problems on paper first. Please complete all problems to the best of your ability. Your responses will help me craft the course to see which material we need to focus on at greater length, especially review material.

Question 1 - Drawing the graph of the linear equation. It's too hard to have you upload an image, so let's just get to the point of the survey: Do you feel that you were able to draw this successfully? *

Yes

Not sure (I'll have to see the answer key to know!)

Question 2 - Drawing the function. Same as before: do you feel that you were able to draw this successfully? *

Option 1

Not sure (I'll have to see the answer key to know!)

Question 3 - What does x = , and what does y = ? *

Question 4 - What does the equation simplify to? *

Question 5a: What is the derivative? *

Question 5b: In English, describe what the derivative means *

Question 5c: What is f'(4), and what does it mean in English? *

Question 6: What is the maximum value of the function? *

Question 7: Explain what a tangency on a curve means. What is true about the tangent line? *

Question 8: On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best), rate your algebra skills (i.e. solving equations, graphing lines, working with fractions, etc). *

Question 9: Have you had any experience with calculus? *

Question 10: On a scale of 1 (least) to 10 (most), how anxious are you about this class? *

Feel free to elaborate any specific anxieties – it will make it more likely that I can specifically address them!

Name (Optional - only if you want me to know your specific concerns...or impress me)
