Chemistry
Mr. Lin
Dear Parents,
I welcome your sons and daughters to my chemistry course. I intend to cover the
vast array of core sciences necessary to understand the chemistry of how our world
reacts. We will explore the basic structure of the atom and how it affects our daily lives.
We will also discuss several fundamental laws that dictate how our world works. I
expect all of my students to come to class with paper, pencil/pen, a graphing calculator,
and an inquisitive mind. I expect all students to show up on time. Homework is assigned
every other day and class time is given for assignments to be begun in class if not
completed. Tests or quizzes will be given on a weekly basis. In the case of an absence,
make-up work will be accepted two days later. I now also have a webpage for all students
to access in cases of extended absences as well as lab printouts that will be updated daily.
Printing out and reading a lab is considered homework. I will also be using podcasts
through the wikispace as mandatory homework. I am free during lunch on Mondays and
Thursdays for assisting in homework and comprehending lectures. My email is also
available for assistance and communication.
