Monday...Monday...

General Info:

Everything is going according to my evil plan: Physical science has checkpoint tests today and tomorrow. Chemistry is starting the test review process. All is going according to schedule...for now.

Physical Science (Hwk: Read Chapter 2.3, complete questions 1-7 on p. 53): Many students are disappointed in their test grades, and that is to be expected. If you did bad and are not disappointed, thats a whole other issue we'll have to deal with.

Here is the process for reclaiming some points. I am doing this in lieu of a curve, which benefits no one as far a content knowledge is concerned.

1. Tests may be corrected, before or after school.

2. Corrected answers will be counted for HALF credit.

3. Only 1 (one) correcting session per student.

4. One session lasts a maximum of 50 minutes. There is no minimum.

5. Make sure you make an appointment with me before you stop by.

6. It is YOUR responsibility to account for time. If you show up at 8:15am and the bell rings at 8:30 that is your ONLY session with your test. You can't come by again and finish later.

7. Its a "Testing Environment" meaning you can't use a book/notes/partner ect.

8. You have ten days to set this up, so get on it.

This method allows you to get more points back than recovery, but if you insist on recovering your grade, of course I'll let you. Remember, the highest you can score on a recovered test is a 74. Please refer to your student hand book for further information.

Randomness: Since its so close to halloween I thought I'd count down the 5 scariest things in the universe (well, MY universe at least).

#5: The alien from the movie Aliens. Its big, shiny and black, and wants to tear your face off. It also has a retractable mouth capable of punching a hole in your skull, and a life-cycle that requires a live host for its embryo. I saw this movie when I was 9, and was still checking my closet before bedtime when I was 21. Man, did my college roomate ever think I was weird.
