Chemistry 11 Course Outline
Texts: “Heath Chemistry – Laboratory Experiments” is required for Chemistry 11. Students will also have an opportunity to purchase a “Hebden Chemistry 11” workbook for a small fee.
Mark Distribution:
This course will be graded cumulatively with each unit representing a percentage of the final grade. Students will self-assess each unit based on their demonstration of learning through assignments, laboratory reports, quizzes, and tests.
There will also be a final exam worth 20% of the overall grade.
Absences: If you are absent from a class you are responsible for finding out what material was missed BEFORE the next class. You will NOT be excused from a quiz because you missed the previous class. If you are absent from a test you must have a parent/guardian phone the school and leave a message. Arrangements will be made to write the test upon your return.
Cheating: Any incident of cheating will result in a zero for all students involved. Receiving a zero on a test will have a serious negative impact on your grade.
Lab Reports: Chemistry 11 involves substantial experimentation, where safety is of the utmost importance. Students are expected to be fully prepared to perform the experiment by having read the lab and prepared any data tables before arriving to class. Any inappropriate behaviour during a lab will result in the student(s) being removed from the class and receiving a zero for the lab activity.
Your Job: School is your job. You must show up on time and prepared to do work. Being prepared means having your textbook, notebook, pen, pencil, and calculator. You cannot borrow these things from me.
