AP Physics C Update for December 2000

16. Journal Prompt for the Week of December 4, 2000:
Research shows that the single most significant indicator of success in college is not your ACT or SAT score, not your GPA, and not 
how many AP courses you take, but whether or not you took a rigorous mathematics course in your last year in High School. If this 
research is True, why do you think this is such a significant indicator? Explain.
17. Journal Prompt for the Week of December 11, 2000:
What one thing would you like to see on the Final? Why? What one thing would you not like to see on the Final? Why?
18. Journal Prompt for the Week of December 18, 2000:
What are your expectations for the Spring Semester in APPC? Why?

Your 2nd Quarter Portfolio was due Friday December 15, 2000. Because of the school closings, you may turn in your Portfolio before Noon on Thursday, December 21, 2000 without any penalty. 
This Portfolio should have the Checklist in the front, and then the 7 items in order, for this Portfolio, including the Complete Journal Writings (1-17). Each item should have a unique Cover Instrument (CI). In the back of your Portfolio should be your 2nd Quarter 
Midterm Portfolio, 1st Quarter, then 1st Quarter Midterm Portfolio, in order.
Your Grade for the Quarter in this class will come from this Portfolio, and the 2nd Quarter Midterm Portfolio. It might be wise to have me look at one or two items in your Portfolio before you finish it since you will not be able to correct this Portfolio. All items in this Portfolio should come from the Fodder list (below). 
Place the Portfolio IN MY HAND when you are finished with it.

2nd Quarter Portfolio Fodder:
The following items qualify for use in this Portfolio, if you have done them and turned them in to be graded.
· Journal (writings 1-17) = Journal.
· Examination III = Ability to Test. (This can stand uncorrected with the grade you earned on it, or you may Correct and Reflect on it.)
