Science 10:  Your signed outlines were collected today.  We reviewed the lab safety equipment and you drew a map showing their locations in room 313.  The old Probe 10 textbook was used to do some reading about mixtures and pure substances, as well as elements and compounds.  We did pg 152 # 1-4 and 8 -11 in sentences where appropriate.   In the second half we did the Density Lab.

Chemistry 12:  Nice work everyone!  Its done!  Log into myed to see your final exam score percent, which  makes up 20% of your course mark, and your course mark.  You will see them in your assignments and they will say "excluded from averages".    There seems to be no other way for you to see your course % and exam mark unless I show them as a column amongst your assignments.  They will be on your report card as per usual.

I really appreciate your hard work and as usual found it very interesting marking your last set of labs and your Final.  You have developed quite a set of skills - you ought to be proud.  But don't think you're done, there is a lot of potential still to be unlocked.   If your Final Exam score is within, say, 5ish % of your course mark, you are preparing enough for your Final.  If the gap is wider, then your final exam is not showing all your awesome skills that you DID have a short while ago.   You may have forgotten some things.  More time reviewing in the few weeks before Finals will sort this out.  Remember that for June and next year:)

Science 9:  Good work! I am working my way through your final exams and will be done asap.   Log into myed to see your final exam score percent, which will make up 20% of your final grade, and your course mark.  You will see them in your assignments and they will say "excluded from averages".    There seems to be no other way for you to see your course % and exam mark unless I show them as a column amongst your assignments.  They will be on your report card as per usual.
