One third Lab work. Lab work grades will be based on lab reports and notebook work. One quarter lab work. Lab work grades will be based on lab reports and notebook work. Much other reading will also be assigned.
Homework is assigned almost every night.
Most homework is in preparation for class work and so stays as part of the students' notes, which are collected and graded regularly. Most assignments should take 20 - 60 minutes to complete. LABS examine course topics in depth, and if missed, should be made up before the end of that 5 day cycle, usually by arranging wih the teacher to participate when a different class has that lab. Teachers are available for extra help by appointment almost every day after school, and often when they have study halls and prep periods. Although internet access at home is not required for this course, it would be very useful.
