1-2 hours per week. A worksheet and quiz will be due most weeks. We also have some projects that take the place of these on two weeks.Assessment
There are weekly quizzes and a semester-end test.Grading
I leave it up to the parents to decide if they want their student to complete all the assignments/test/quizzes, just portions of them, etc. I will give students updates on grades throughout the semester.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
This a second semester of a full year high school chemistry course (two semesters). The topics covered by week are shown below by week. This is a flexible course with course lectures and assignments having open ended deadlines. The course lectures will be posted on the Monday of the week shown, but can be watched at any time. There will be for Quizzes, Worksheets, and Readings posted weekly. The video lectures will be posted through Outschool. FAQ Is this a full year course? The full year is offered! I offer the semesters as separate courses for students who do not want to take the full year course back to back. For example a student could begin high school chemistry in the summer, take the fall off, and come back for the second semester in the spring. This is the first semester of two. Will there be any live meetings? All lectures are given asynchronously. There will be live office hours once a week for students with questions. Alternatively, I will answer any questions posted within the course discussion board. Where are materials posted? Whenever a student enrolls in a course, Outschool makes a class page. Parents and students have access to this. All materials will be posted within that page. Can I opt out of a grade? Yes! If you do not want a grade for the course but still want to see the quizzes, tests, and readings let me know. I will give you access to the entire course. Is there a textbook? I do not require a textbook for this course. I DO require readings throughout the course. These will come in the form of PDFs. Many of these are chapters or readings I have written myself or taken from academic sources. What is your background? I have a MS and PhD in Chemistry. I have taught hundreds of classes in Chemistry and Biology from high school to graduate level.
Learning Goals
Students will be comfortable writing chemical equations, predicting products and balancing the equation.Students will be comfortable with the gas laws and calculating changes in pressure, volume, temperature.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I am Dr. K!
I have a PhD in Chemistry. I have over 10 years of teaching experience with both children and adults! I have taught thousands of classes in Biology, Chemistry, and some in between (Biochemistry, Ecology, etc).
My biggest philosophy behind teaching is making every concept applicable to the things around us. We can read a textbook and learn about atoms and bonds, but relating that to real world concepts is how we will really grasp the concepts in my classes.Reviews
