Course expectations
Respect everyone in class. Students are responsible for ALL aspects of the course. Follow all laboratory safety instructions. |
Course description
The course satisfies the SFUSD high school graduation requirement and meets the science UC admission requirements. The course is based on the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) physical science / earth & space science discplinary core ideas, science & engineering practices (aka act like a scientist), and cross cutting concepts. CSU chemistry validation policy (ask your counselor to elaborate / confirm) course pedagogy = "student engagement"; via cooperative group work and problem based learning. Also, develop your information literacy skills. Textbook: SFUSD online NGSS chemistry / earth & space science textbook and appendix online access (log into your sfusd email account beforehand) . ngss chem versus ngss honors chem Supplemental resouces; e.g. Zumdahl et al. World of Chemistry (online version is different edition) & screencasts, which reflects most (not all) of the concepts in the course |
Grades
| A = | 80 - 100 % | class work / home work = | 50 % | |
| B = | 60 - 79.9 | test / quiz = | 30 | |
| C = | 40 - 59.9 | lab = | 20 | |
| D = | 20 - 39.9 | |||
| F = | < 20 |
the semester grade and grading period grades are based on the above components and cumulative from the beginning of the semester; thus the semester grade may not be the average of your grading period grades. While the Synergy gradebook grade cut-off does not match the above cut-off, the the letter grade in the Synergy gradebook and the online gradebook will be the same. Also, the online gradebook will be updated on a more regular basis and be more informative than the Synergy gradebook. Synergy parent vue has an opt-in for notification of student attendance and when the Synergy grade book is updated. |
Class policies
hallway / phone / chromebook policy print your name and all group members' names; otherwise, no points. Deadline to correct any errors, or to turn in any missing work / items in the online gradebook, is on the last day of the corresponding grading period. 50% penalty on any late work; unless due to an absence and (i) it's turned in on the day of your return to school, (ii) write "absent" on the late work, and (iii) attach your email notification of your absence to me on the day of your absence that the assignment is due. test / quiz
class work / homework assignments
lab assignments
fill-out / return: survey form and sign / return: signature form and lab safety form Any exceptions to the policy in the syllabus (e.g. absent for quiz / test) will require an email exchange regarding the issue (or a note signed by me). |
