Class+Requirements

To effectively participate in class room discussions you need several things.

Axiom: Safety comes first. This is a chemistry class housed in a chemistry lab. All actions taken must first be evaluated by asking the question "is this safe?" Chemistry can be dangerous.

1. A good attitude- nothing else can get accomplished without this. 2. A writing instrument: a blue or black pen or pencil are acceptable. 3. You need to be aware of the overall class Syllabus. 4. You need to complete, print, and hand in your. 5. Problems and readings will constantly be done in class straight from your textbook. Please make sure to bring it with you to class everyday. 6. You are expected to take notes and also to post notes online this means you have to bring a notebook to class everyday. 7. There is the expection of completing work outside of the classroom. 100% of that work needs to be completed to recieve class credit. 8. The classroom is a safe working environment. Cruelty, meanness, harrassment, abuse, intolerance, negativity, obcenity or obnoxious deviance will not be tolerated. Work is nearly impossible if questions can't be safely asked and addressed. 9. There will be no food or drink in the classroom. We'll be doing lots of labs and cleaning up the best we can after labs; however, chemicals can be spilt and not cleaned up and they can enter your foods and eventually you. In keeping with school policy and drawing special attention to the class axionm no food nor drink will be allowed within the classroom.
