Is anybody else in the class, what are your thoughts so far? Who wants to have a thread where we can share class notes or answer questions?

Three of my friends, over the years, got A's. Unlike me, they were very diciplined students: no partying until the homework is finished. But a few weeks ago, I gave all of them the same challenge: create a word problem that requires Calc I material to solve. You do not have to solve the problem. Just come up with one. I only got answers like "well, its the slope of the curve...". I'd respond with "why might I want to know that?" But not one of the A students could come up with a real-life application
