     This course is a compressed (8 week) version of a high school chemistry course.  Attendance is very important for your success.     Plan to spend at least one hour per day studying for this course.  Tests/ quizzes will be given after every unit.  Additional assignments will be given:  but not taken for grades.  The assignments are additional work for you to do to understand the concepts we discuss in class.  A specific textbook is not required for this course.  Any general chemistry book will be helpful…but not required.  I will provide you with many printed pages of notes and worksheets.  You will be required to purchase an Instructional Support CD for $10.

The course will move at a rapid pace.  I can’t give exact dates on which topics will be covered.  I will update on a daily basis (via the web) the calendar to let you know what was covered in class.

Please feel free to approach me, and let me know how I can improve this course for you!

* I reserve the right to grade assignments.  I count 7 highest quiz scores in computing your grade.
