高中化學第一學期

This a first semester of a full year high school chemistry course (two semesters). The topics covered by week are shown below by week followed by an FAQ.

This course has one live meeting and one recorded meeting. Students will need to attend the live meeting and watch the recorded lecture.

This class will cover all the topics in a high school chemistry course. The students will receive homework and assignments just like any other high school class. There will be an exam at the end of each semester and quizzes spaced out throughout the semester. Please see FAQ below for more information.

Students can join at any time. Please see the syllabus for our schedule.

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. 

Will my student receive a grade?
Yes! Parents will have access to assignments, readings, quizzes and exams through the Outschool classroom. Students will be able to take these throughout the course. Parents can request a grade at any point.

Do I need to attend all the sessions?
Chemistry tends to "build" on itself as the semester goes on. The topics are helpful to learn in order. Each week the Classroom will have with the assignments and worksheets for the students who attended that week. Students are more than welcome to come to whichever portions of the class they would like and complete those assignments. The exam is made based on the entire semester's topics but all students are open to completing it. Parents and Students will be able to see all graded work completed.

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?
We will be using CK12 flexbooks as our reading source. This is an open source free textbook. Additional readings will also be provided.

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.
