My mark has drastically dropped in this course and Im struggling so much! My teacher can't teach properly and that is my biggest problem! I've got Data this semester too so that's perfectly fine! I'm doing pretty well in that class, but Ad. Functions... YIKKEESSS!! Im scared that with the mark I have, I wont get accepted to university and I really want to go to UofT into their Accounting program! Any advice on what I could do to help myself out? And might I say, I am alreayd getting extra help after school but since it's the same teacher, it doesn't really help! I asked friends too, but most of them are struggling too so the marks are pretty low!! I really need some advice because we just got our midterms today and I still have half the semester left plus the final exam which is like 30% of our overall mark. What do you guys think I should do?? I'm really stressed out and frustrated and I really need some help!

Now that we're further into the course, I've come to realize that this class is actually fairly challenging, I'm struggling to maintain a 90 and I have the second highest mark in the class with the highest being a 92. Our class average is a 73.

I find this course harder than 4U physics.

are you in a semestered school? cuz we are already at logarithms..

I tell everyone who asks me in the beginning of the year about the course...i give them the same answer first 4 chapters are marks boosters...then it starts getting harder...I fast tracked advanced functions and data management in gr 11...I ended up with a 81 and 87 respectively...trig plummeted my mark 7 percent from 85. I can say for sure I had one of the highest marks in the whole year. Sure there are people with 90s but our teacher told us out of all the kids who took advanced functions 16 % got 80 or above. Our teachers are great...they just tend to stick to hard tests. To put it into perspective at our school the calc marks were 42 % above 80. <---different teachers.

Well, I blame the teacher because half the student body that is taking Advance Functions blames the teacher. None of us ever had a problem with fuctions last year when these specific teachers weren't teaching. Asking for help from them doesn't do anything, because the only answer we get is, "You should know this...". How can I learn when he is not prepared to answer questions when I ask or actually solve something for me? And we are not given a textbook to work with... I have to admit, it would be a lot easier if we did have textbooks but we don't. I am finally done the trig unit and it didn't go so bad, but I could have done better. Now we are onto exponential and logarithmic functions. Log is not that difficult to understand, but I am having trouble with a few things. We were doing basic equations on how to solve an equation by converting to exponential form or LOG form. We have just started the unit, so I do not have much questions asa of yet, but I will soon.

About using the "!" in almost every sentence... well it's just how I write. I actually don't panic on tests. I get frustrated at times, but I don't start panicking.

I do have a calculator which gives a ratio instead of a decimal. It actually has saved alot of time and it is much easier to do trig ratios and determine where the termical arm is on the CAST graph. But that's over and done with.

My thing is, no matter how hard I try, I just don't get it. My only option right now is, if I get lower than like a 60% by my final, I will go to night school next semester to upgrade my mark. Not many students in my course are getting high 90's in this course. I think the course median for our midterm was around a 64% or so.

Thank You for the help... I really appreciate it!

I. Can. Not. Do. Trigonometry.

As much as I'd love to elaborate, I can't, because I wouldn't even know where to begin. I have a 71, course median is a 66. Missed a total of five days of the unit for DECA and hockey (both in and out of school). Getting increasingly frustrated with all the homework catch-up I'm trying to do on my own, without ever really hearing a lesson.

Slasher61, ssidat wishes the class has a textbook to work with. This is why questions would never get answered. If you ask me, that's reason enough to blame school staff.

I personally didn't find any units particularly challenging or easy... My mark range was ridiculously small. All my tests fell between 91-97% with a mean of about ~93%, and a derp on one of my quizzes bringing me to a final of 92.

that's still very good man, i doubt i can maintain that mark after the exam, there're at least 2 ppl that i know have 99. my teachers super easy and i guess that why :)

Even though this was fairly difficult at times, I honestly really enjoyed this course. I was tied for first place with another person, we both finished with a 91.
