Notes:

1. Calculator use is encouraged.
2. Memorization of the values of the trig functions at the special angles should be required.
3. Use radian measure as much as possible.
4. If you wish to try for a teaching day before Thanksgiving, consider adding another day to 1.7 on Inverse Trigonometric Functions.
5. Make Exam 2 and the Final Exam cumulative; i.e Exam 2 should include material from Exam I and the Final should include material from Exam 2 and a smaller amount from Exam 1.
