  8. Laboratory continued Students who are absent must make up the practical as soon as possible after school or during a free period. All practical reports are due one week after the experimental work is completed. Use turnitin.com Lower grades will be given to late work. All Lab reports will be written individually, unless otherwise stated. Do not send ANY part of your lab report to another person.

  9. Academic Integrity • When the assignment is individual, it must be unique. • DO NOT send your lab reports to other people. • If the assignment was given as a GROUP assignment, submit ONE copy of the assignment with both names on the assignment.

  10. Homework ｷExpect to do 30 minutes of chemistry homework between each lesson. ｷRead the assignment and try to do the problems as well as possible. ｷBring your questions on the assignment to the next lesson with you. ｷIf you are absent, check the webpage!

  11. Quizzes • Quizzes are meant to give feedback to you and myself about what you have learned. • All quizzes must be made up as soon as possible if missed due to an absence.

  12.
