​

Binders

Organization is critical in this class ☺

Our notebooks will contain 98% of the work that you do in this class. It is imperative that you take care of your notebooks. PLEASE be diligent by:

  • Numbering every single page.
  • Filling out the table of contents daily.
  • Labeling as instructed.
  • Don’t ever throw anything away- it goes in the notebook somewhere!
  • They will be DUE and graded on test days

​

​

Students should be looking over notes every day for at least 20 minutes. Classwork not completed in allotted time becomes homework

Learn the terms- the scientific language in the course is dense. Study your vocabulary on a daily basis.
