COURSE DESCRIPTION

Chemistry Chemistry is the study of the composition and structure of matter and the
changes it undergoes. In this sophomore level course we will explore the
history and nature of chemistry through course and laboratory work. For a
complete list of covered topics refer to the course outline.

COURSE OUTLINE CHEATING

The faculty expects from its students a high level of
responsibility and academic honesty. It is imperative that
students demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in
his or her scholastic work.

Academic Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:

→ Copying
→ Turning in another students assignment as your own
→ Taking pictures of your or other students work for
the purpose of copying or sharing.
→ Using notes or reference material when told not to
→ Looking up answers online during online testing

PLAGIARISM
To plagiarize is defined as taking ideas and writings of
another and passing them off as one’s own. Students
caught plagiarizing will be given a zero for the assignment.

RESTROOM PASSES
Class time is extremely important to your success in
physics. Each student will have 4 hall passes a
quarter with 4 emergencies passes to use
throughout the year. Your hall pass sheet will be
glued into your notebook and you will need it every
time you leave the room.
You can turn in unused passes for extra credit at the
end of each quarter.
LIFE HAPPENS
Sometimes things happen (school or home conflicts) and you
may need an extra day. It Happens! If you need an
extension, send me a remind message and we can discuss a
possible extension.
NOTE: This needs to be done in a timely manner. No
extensions will be given 5 minutes before class or when work
is due. Use this lifeline wisely as it will not be given frequently.
