Question `q007: The modeling projects include a number of exercises.

You are expected to do these exercises as you work through the Modeling Project. You are not expected to submit your work on the exercises, but you may certainly submit questions about them. The Open Query for the corresponding assignment will then ask selected questions about your work on the exercises in the Modeling Project, as well as other material that is part of the assignments.

Please summarize you understanding of the fact that there are exercises in the Modeling Projects, which you are expected to do, and which will appear in the Open Query for the corresponding assignments:

Your response:

There are exercises in the Modeling Projects that are required with no submission and selected questions will appear in the Open Query for the corresponding assignments.

The remainder of this initial q_a_ assignment concerns the Modeling Project assignments that are part of your course.

Question `q005: Different courses are taught with different goals and different emphasis, and no course covers everything. This is certainly true of your prerequisite precalculus (or equivalent) course. This doesn't mean that your precalculus or equivalent course was not a good course (from the preparation of students coming into these calculus courses it appears that some are excellent and some are inadequate, with most somewhere in between).

Part of your present calculus course consists of Modeling Project Assignments. These assignments include ideas and techniques related to quadratic, power and exponential functions, and the concept of proportionality. They are presented in a real-world context (which is not fairly common but not universal among good precalculus courses). Ideally you will have developed these skills in your prerequisite Precalculus or equivalent course. However different courses are taught to different standards, and students frequently enter this course without a good understanding of these functions, techniques, and concepts.

These topics are therefore part of your review of prerequisite material, which also includes the first chapter in your text. (You are very likely to find things in that chapter that you haven't covered in the prerequisite courses, which is of course why those chapters are there).

These Modeling Projects are assigned on your Assignments page, in the appropriate assignments.

Please summarize below your understanding of the reason for these modeling projects:

Your response:

Modeling projects presented are beneficial, required and located on the Assignments page.

Question `q006: The modeling projects are found by clicking on the obvious link on your assignments page, part of the title of which is 'Modeling Project # '. You are advised to look on your Assignments page to locate at least one such link, click on it and see that the link leads you to a worksheet or series of worksheets.

Please summarize below your understanding of how to access the modeling projects.
