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 UC science admission requirements. The course is based on the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) standards. CSU chemistry validation policy (ask your counselor to elaborate / confirm). As an aspect of chemistry that makes it a "difficult" course is the culumative nature of the course, ensure that you "keep up" in class; otherwise, the course may become increasingly more frustrating / difficult. course pedagogy = cooperative group work. Will randomly change group composition each grading period. In the fall, all group members, who are not regularly absent, will get the same points for group work. In the spring, mutual evaluation of group member participation, where group members will get no points for not participating in the group. Doing problems will help to learn chemistry. Textbook: SFUSD online NGSS chemistry / earth & space science textbook and appendix (log into your sfusd email account beforehand) . Supplemental resouces

Grades
| A = | 85 - 100 % | class work / home work = | 50 % | |
| B = | 70 - 84.9 | test / quiz = | 30 | |
| C = | 50 - 69.9 | lab = | 20 | |
| D = | 15 - 49.9 | |||
| F = | < 15 |
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 on groupwork assignments; 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 was due. test / quiz
class work / homework assignments (to done as a group)
lab assignments (prelab assignments & lab reports may be done by yourself or as a group)
hallway / phone / chromebook policy Any exceptions to the policy in the syllabus will require an email exchange regarding the issue (or a note signed by me). fill-out / return: survey form and sign / return: signature form and lab safety form |
