Homework and Test

Hey All,

Sorry that I missed class yesterday. Hope you enjoyed others' presentations and the wacky British Chem Professors from Nottingham.

Don't forget that we have a test next Wednesday (10/29). Use the test review handout as a your study guide. We will have a thorough review in class next Monday.

Also, any missing homework needs to be handed in by next Thursday (10/30).

Loose Ends

Hey All,

What great inquisitiveness y'all show in class each day - thank you!

Want to make sure that we are on top of the work that is due or coming due soon:

For 10/16, you should have finished your alkali metal/halogen compound write ups (identifying one and describing its uses).

For Monday, 10/20, research and write an understandable paragraph on your chemistry term. If you do not remember yours, please email me.

Have a great weekend!
