The use of a calculator

<p>For anyone who knows about Worthington Scranton, do they allow you to use calculators for math 140 and 141? Does it depend on the teacher or is it just a department made thing? Since the 8th grade, all of my classes allowed the use of a calculator so its going to be a big change for me if I have to start dividing and multiplying in my head.</p>

<p>I think with penn state in general they’re big on no-calculators, at least for 140-141. I took 140 [if that’s calc 1] at berks one summer and they wouldn’t let you use them at all. My friend goes to UP, and for both calc 1 and 2 they didnt allow it there.</p>

<p>The decision is up to the individual teacher, but the only ones I have ever seen allow them were the honors instructors… and they found a way to make the calculators useless.</p>

<p>Do you guys go to main or a commonwealth campus?</p>

<p>I’m transferring [will be a junior] to main from alvernia university, and my friend goes to main. I took a summer class at berks last year.</p>
