I like how all of these concepts are coming together as we go through the year. Bringing back the ol' substitution rules to figure out optimization was cool, and using concepts we just recently learned like the derivitive zeroes shows that what we're learning actually has uses later on; it's not just learn it, take the test, forget it forever. It gives us motivation and a sense of accomplishment. I hope we do something similar with the anti-derivitives because I quite liked those. Except for the +C part. I also see now how the finding the shortest path assignment we did on the computers goes with this section, although I had completely forgotten about it until I saw it in my folder. I feel like this section was really easy because I did the quiz no problem (I think) even though I only finished half the homework so far (sorry). Maybe it was because of how it all tied into the things we'd already learned.
