Chemistry Class

Syllabus:

The Chemistry Syllabus for the year.

Grading Scale:

Tests: 40%
Projects: 40%
Classwork: 20%

Chapter Outlines:

You need to remember these are the outlines I speak from in class. They are a starting point, not a finished set of notes. You should print these out at the beginning of a chapter as a note taking guide. You are responsible for all material covered in class and in the textbook whether or not it is in the notes or study questions.

Homework:

A homework assignment for each chapter will be made when we start a chapter. After you complete the reading assignment you will answer the review questions and turn them at the beginning of class on the day they are due. Each question will be worth 10 points, 5 for effort in trying to answer the question and up to 5 for the quality of your answer.

Execellent tips for test preparation. If you desire old tests you will need to speak to last year's chemistry students. I do not save copies of old tests.
