text: Without this teacher assigned project, I would have never received any form of introduction to this vital aspect of my class. Teachers also have the ability and knowledge to reintroduce both review and preequasite work that many students neglect to remeber as they enter in the next stage of their academic development. Before entering honors calculus, my algebra II/Trig teacher provided us with a packet that included all o the prerequasite concepts we would need to be familiar with to be successful in the class. I had forgotten many of the concepts that would be neccesary to pass the class, but, with the help of my teacher, over the summer I was able to become prepared which enabled me to be sccessful in the class. Through prepration, the learning process becaomes much less daunting and much more managable.
