Class Expectations
- Students are expected to make an effort to attend every scheduled class. Missed work must be made up as soon as possible.
- I do not expect you to bring your textbook to every class, but you will bring your notebook and a pen or pencil every day.
-
To succeed in Chemistry, it will help if you take a few minutes to review each day’s notes and assignments each evening. This will help you to “cement” new ideas into your brain and identify areas you may still be confused about. Please bring these areas to my attention the next day so we can try another approach for you to “get” the material.
