With the mid-quarter being on Monday the 19th and the December 26th to January 2nd Holiday Recess approaching...this is prime time for an assessment.
I always marvel at the fact that students are always concerned about whether it is a test or a quiz. Regardless of the name...it still counts the same and has the same effect on the overall average. So getting a 85% on a test is the same as getting a 85% on a quiz. Here's a thought...do well on whatever its called!
Periods 1 & 8: Sections 4 & 5 of Chapter 2. A review guide was handed out to each student in attendance.
Periods 3 & 5: Naming and writing ionic compounds. There were two mock timed test worksheets the past two days to gear them up and get some good old training in. They will have a total of 40 names and formulas to interpret in 50 minutes.
One final note. Mid-Term exams are currently scheduled for January 24th - 27th, 2012. Wow..2012 soon.
I hope that mid-quarter grades will be satisfactory for all. All the introductory work is done and chemistry tends to get tougher during quarter 2 and continues to challenge throughout the year.
