Chemistry - The Course


Chemistry (any level) is a college prep class that will require you to develop skills in the following areas -                       


analytical thinking, 

time management, 

problem solving, 

and lab work.

         

In order to be successful, it will be necessary to:


1.) come to class prepared EVERYDAY. 

2.) bring all the required assignments and materials when you arrive.

3.) manage your time so that you do well in all subjects.  It is important to be AWARE that this course IS different than any others you have taken in high school.

4.) develop good communication skills with your teacher, lab partner, and other students.


Class Rules:

1.  Respect for everyone and everything is the room is a requirement.
(That means respectful behavior, comments, & tone of voice.)
          
2.  In case of absence it is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher about what assignments were missed and how/when to make them up.  

     Makeup work is due as discussed with the teacher.
         
3.  When a student or the teacher feel that extra help is needed it is always available.  Reasonable requests to stay after school are always honored.  Mondays are reserved for teacher meetings.
