Chemistry Course Assignment Schedule

Below is an estimated schedule for when assignments are given and when they are due. Lunch time help is regularly available to ask questions or check answers in my teacher's edition. Whenever the day’s lesson or activity is completed, any leftover time should be used for starting homework.

Chapter Notes- 2 nights
Section Reviews- 1 night. Usually only 4-6 questions.
Chapter Reviews- 4-7 nights, always due on test day. I recommend starting these early in the chapter, as they can be lengthy. I always allot a class period to work on this so students can check answers in my teacher's edition &/or ask me for help.
Chapter Tests- 4-7 nights in advance
Lab Reports- 4-7 nights, never due on the same day as a test.
Lab Activity (shortened lab exercise- not a full lab report)- 2-3 nights
