This is a week-by-week calendar of topics covered in Calculus II. More details, including specific learning objectives and the amount of time to spend on each section, can be found in the lesson guide. As a rule of thumb, the topics are generally to be spread out equally during the week, so if there are two topics, each one takes one class period, while if there are three, each should take two-thirds of a class period.
