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 & enginerring practices, and cross cutting concepts. course pedagogy = problem based learning, cooperative group work, homwork, labs, and notes. recommend forming a study group (password = 94109G) for chem tutoring. Textbook: SFUSD NGSS chemistry / earth & space science textbook; online access (log into your sfusd email account beforehand). 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. As the Synergy gradebook grade cut-off does not match the above cut-off, there might be a contradiction in the numeric grade (but not the letter grade) between the Synergy gradebook and the online gradebook. Also, the online gradebook will be updated on a more regular basis and be more informative than the Synergy gradebook. The numeric grade in the online gradebook will be truncated to determine your course letter grade; i.e. there will be no "rounding up" to determine your course letter grade; e.g. 79.9 = B. The end of each grading period is the deadline to turn in any missing work / correct any online gradebook error(s) for that grading period. |
Class policies
print your name and all group members' names with everyone's group role next to their name on all assignments; otherwise, no points. Q & A on first school day of the week -- to address any questions about that day's quiz / prior course content / upcoming course content. The dead line to submit any missing work or to correct any grade book error(s) is the end of the corresponding grading period. test / quiz
class work / homework assignments
lab assignments
lab reports: use Word (or equilvalent) and / or Excel (or equivalent); otherwise, score = 0 record your laboratory observations / data in your lab notebook. Any exceptions to the policy in the syllabus (e.g. absent for quiz / test) will require a note (describing the issue) signed by me (or an email exchange between you and me). |
