1 hour per week. Homework is offered every week but it is optional. The homework will consist of worksheets, short essays, and labs. If the homework is completed and submitted to me then I will grade it and offer feedback. If a letter grade or number grade is requested then it will be assigned to the work otherwise the student will receive feedback on what was done well and what needs to be worked on.Assessment
Students will receive formative assessments throughout the 16 week class.They are optional and they are done as take home assignments. At the end of the 16 weeks students will receive a summative semester exam. Any student wishing to receive a grade for the class must complete the semester exam.Grading

Letter grades will be given in the form of a report card. If a different method of grading is desired that can be discussed as well.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Integrated Physics and Chemistry is an introductory class to both Physics and Chemistry . It is a great class for students who might not have a strong math or science background or who want an overview of science and scientific principles. The goal of this class is to get the students to interact with myself and each other. I encourage them to make comments and questions during the presentation and to ask questions that are out of the ordinary. Homework will be given each week and if completed and returned then students will receive feedback to help them measure their progress. Optional labs will be provided as well. At the end of the class students will be given a midterm exam and if they complete that I will issue a report card for them.
