Nobody likes math, but get this class out of the way. Prof. Adams makes things run pretty smoothly, but if you're in a flipped model section, make sure not to get behind.
The online textbook for me was much more effective than Dr. Adams' video lectures.

Flipped class definitely makes you work and learn most of the material on your own. Try to stay on track and don't get behind or it'll become a lot harder to catch up. If you put the effort in, then you'll get a good grade. I only received a C because I didn't put in as much effort as I should've for the exams.
Limits, Derivatives, Integrals. Definitely would be nice to have some background and experience with Calculus or else it'll be a challenge.
Prof. Adams is a nice and funny guy, he's definitely a very smart guy and helps out anyone who asks a question. His recorded lectures weren't the best for me however.
Study Edge was my savior personally, however everyone has their different study methods. If you don't have background in Calc, definitely review over trig. Be prepared to study and not be behind.

Dr. Adams is a good teacher if you watch the lecture videos. They can get fairly annoying and I will admit that I prefer to just do the Xronos assignments and learn by myself, but they are helpful. Workload is light. However, my friend with a different teacher has a much heavier workload and is graded on accuracy rather than attendance.
Make sure you took at least Calc AB in high school, this will be somewhat review but it is important to have this prior knowledge
Dr. Adams is extremely understanding but stern with his rules and by the books. He is very nice and I like him a lot.
Sit with smart people. It is a flipped class so your peers will teach you.

Dr. Keeran does not teach really since it is a flipped classroom style. You watch unhelpful videos on your own time and he does a quick review in class. Then in class, you do a worksheet with others and a 5-minute, 1-question quiz at the end of each lecture. The solutions to the worksheet are released the following day. The exams do not reflect the work done in class or homework.
You'll learn the derivative which is extremely useful. You also learn limits and integrals which are nice to know.
He does not show you your grade until the end of the semester. Although he tells you how much each one weighs and shows you your scores, so you can self calculate according to the syllabus.
You'll be teaching yourself essentially. Honestly, if you did well in Calc AB high school and don't have to take Calc 2, then skip this class.

Honestly, your grade will reflect the amount you put into the class. As long as you complete all the work given, along with the past exams, you will be golden!
Adam's class is a flipped classroom, so we would watch the lectures at home and complete worksheets in class. He takes attendance which is a bit of a downside, but it incentivices you to go to class ig. Our class is smaller than the big lecture halls with york(?), so would recommend Adams if you can!
Prof. Adams for sure (fun guy and good teacher!)
