Chemistry: Suggestions for Success

• Use kwanga.net to access course information on a regular basis.
• Check email each weekend for update, or check the weekly update page on kwanga.net.
• Spend 10 minutes per night reviewing any new material or reviewing old material with no distractions.
• Print online “teacher notes” in advance, and take “student notes” in class.
  
• Use the Unit Scale checkboxes to assess your progress through the content.
• Practice assignments assigned or begun in class should be finished at home so students can check them with the answer key in a timely manner. Do not fall behind.
• Be an active participant in class. Ask questions when needed. If you don't know what to ask, describe the concepts giving you trouble.
• Work math problems to study for a math-based test. Redo the chapter practices and problems in the notes, and check your work against the correct answers.
• Go over the test review and oral “test hints” given during the notes. Do not wait until the night before to study. Study alone first with no phone or other distractions before you study in a group (if you choose to study in a group).
• Access chem tutorial page on kwanga.net for interactive tutorials, videos, and worksheets.
• Complete all optional assignments.  
• Correct all assignments (“buyback”) to get some points back.
• Always keep your binder in order.
• Make appointment to come in for help.
• FROM 2020:  When new material was covered, the class was recorded and posted on Canvas under the specific module related to the current material.  Students can review these videos any time.
• NEW as of 2022-2023 school year: Students may complete the qualifiers and do a test re-take to improve their grade. Read the test section of the class procedures/syllabus for more details.
