Grading:  70% of your grade comes from tests, quizzes, and special projects.  The other 30% of your grade will be homework and labs.  Quizzes may be announced or unannounced.  Grades are calculated based on points and then converted to the following letter grades

 

A         95.5                             A-        93.5

B+       91.5                             B         88.5

B-        86.5                             C+       84.5

C         82.5                             C-        79.5

D+       77.5                             D         72.5

D-        69.5

 

Laboratory Exercises:  The study of chemistry involves many experiments and hands on activities.  It is important when working in the laboratory to follow all safety precautions.  When instructed to wear goggles, students should do so the entire time in the laboratory.  Laboratory procedures will be covered during introductions to the lab exercises.  Students will be asked to sign a safety contract before starting to work in the lab area.  If someone ignores given safety rules he will be removed from the lab area with no opportunity to make up the missed work.

 

Extra Credit:  Only 15 points of extra credit are allowed per nine weeks.  Extra credit is due one week before the grading period ends.  Extra credit topic ideas can be found on Mrs. Gonsoir’s web page.  Report topic projects are worth five points per HANDWRITTEN page. Handwriting must be legible and single spaced on college ruled paper.

Common Core Language Arts Standards addressed nearly in all units:

 

RST.9 (Synthesize information from a range of sources into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible.)

 

RST.10 (By the end of grade 12, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 11-12 text complexity band independently and proficiently.)
