What Current Students Say...
I enjoy learning about the intricate processes that occur in cells and our bodies without us ever even knowing!
Some common challenges include: vocabulary/terms and balancing time with other commitments (academic or extracurricular)
Many students take it if they interested in field or related career, or seeking potential college credit
Advice to Future Students?
Stay on top of things (don’t procrastinate) - you will benefit from dedicating time outside of class to the work!
Take good notes, and reflect on them to make connections and to study.
What Else You Should Know...
Students should have credit in Chemistry or Chemistry Honors.
Students should be able to solve basic Algebraic functions, do basic graphing, data analysis, and experimental design.
Class meets daily with alternating 90-minute and 45 minute blocks, often with Rams Block being the balance of the 45 minute block
Average students spend 1-2 hours of work outside of class per two days of block
Summative Assessments include 1-hour traditional exams, including written response questions
Labs occur weekly
