Regents Chemistry Syllabus 2009-2010
General Chemistry Syllabus 2017-2018
General Chemistry is a semester course designed to give students a brief but necessary understanding of the chemistry that occurs all around us. The goal is to have fun and inspire students to consider a broader study of chemistry and other sciences in the future. I look forward to an interesting and memorable semester!
Supplies:
- Blue or black pens and pencils
- Loose-leaf paper

Grading Policies:
- Quizzes/Tests: (60%) Quizzes will be administered approximately once a week. They are not cumulative. There will be a midterm at the end of the first quarter and a final at the end of the second quarter. These two tests will be cumulative.
- Homework/Classwork: (10%) Homework will rarely be given, but when given will have an important due date. Classwork is due in class by the end of the period. If it is not finished in class, you still need to hand it in and come after school for extra help to complete it.
- Labs/Projects: (15%) Lab write-ups are due the day they are performed in class (including alldata and answers to thequestions). If the lab is marked incomplete, rewrite and resubmit the lab within two days or the grade will remain a zero.

- Eating or drinking
