Chemblog!

With the completion of our "(Re-)Activity Series/Redox/Single Replacement" Lab, I have posted the final lab write-up for our course, which is due in your lab folder by Monday, May 28. Though we will do an organic isomer model lab, that writeup will be optional because we have met the state requirement for labs.
You have had beyond sufficient warnings all year long: Make sure that your lab folder is neat, accurate, and complete by Monday the 28th. I will not accept any labs after June 1st. If your folder is not complete by then, you will receive and F for the course AND you will not be eligible to take the Regents exam (NY State Education Dept. requirement). I have not EVER, repeat EVER, had a problem with any student (at Saint Anthony's HS) meeting this requirement; let us continue that trouble-free tradition.
You may not take an after-school, bonus Regents exam until you submit your lab folder for inspection and approval. If your labs are complete and acceptable, you may sign up for a bonus Regents exam, which will count towards your average only if your score on that exam increases your average. You must let me know at least one day in advance that you are coming in after school to take each practice Regents exam. I will sign you up for an exam; you must bring a NEW notebook designated solely for review and correction of each exam. After you review and correct a given exam with me, you are eligible to take another exam the next day or thereafter.
After classes are over in June, you may still take these exams if you first come to at least one hour of that day's review session (review sessions will be scheduled and posted on the blog; the classroom is generally on the first floor).
Looking forward to a very successful completion of our course.
Thanks!
