Please note:
I have mapped out our schedule until the end of the year.
At the start of each week, you will see a chapter(s) listed. These are the chapter that you should work through for that week. Read the chapter and take notes, answer all "concept checks," answer the questions and "draw its" scattered throughout the chapter. I have listed the lab and activity work we will do below. On days with no listings or when activities do not take the entire time, we will talk about the material in the chapters. In the interest of using available class time as effectively as possible, we will not have any more unit tests. Instead, you will have the promised "pop" quizzes.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
March 19
*People will be in and out this week but we need to do a few things in the lab. Please cover for each other and make sure things get done for each lab group as scheduled.
