Chemistry Chemistry

Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart

Course:  Chemistry

Course Syllabus 2009-2010

Required Materials

     Texts:  Conceptual Chemistry Understanding Our World of Atoms and Molecules by John Suchocki

      Binder:  Students are expected to have a binder used only for this class.

Assignments:

Homework:  This is assigned regularly.  Late homework is not accepted.

Class Participation:  Since participation is vital to the learning process, a grade will be awarded at the end of each quarter for class participation.  This grade will take into account the student's general conduct, effort, cooperation,  preparedness, and participation in classroom discussions throughout the quarter.

Evaluation:  Each assignment will be given a point value based on its importance on the assignment.  This is done because some homework assignments are more challenging than other assignments.  All assignments will fall under distinct categories.  These will be weighted as follows:

Activities/Homework       15%     Quizzes and Tests  60%   Quarter Test  20%  Participation   5%

Classroom Policies

Conduct:  Students are expected to pay close attention to the teacher or other students who are participating in the class. 

Attendance and Make-Up Work:  When a student misses a class for any reason, it is their responsibility to check with the teacher for any missing assignments/material.  If a student misses a test of quiz, they should expect a more difficult version to be given them within one day of their return.
