Chem Achievement Activity
Schedule
Disclaimer: Homework activities should be used as
opportunities for individual practice, completion of class work,
and preparation for upcoming lessons. Students are expected to
complete all assignments to the best of their own ability
and seek assistance only after fully attempting the activity by
themselves.
Assessment of homework will use
a variety of methods from formal teacher assessment, in-class
peer evaluation of work, and summative assessment through quizzes
and tests.
Due dates are assumed to be for the next class lesson
unless instructed otherwise.
Assignments posted here are set
in advance of class time and may be subject to change based upon
unforeseen events.
