Finally, the last day of the Fall semester!!
To my Regent Chemistry 2 students:
• For those who have satisfied the NYS mandatory lab. requirement, the Chemistry Regent Exam will be held on Thursday (Jan. 28) during the afternoon session. Be certain to arrive the school at the latest by 12:00 PM. Make sure your bring the following items: 1) Number 2 pencils w/ erasers; 2) Blue or black ball point pens; 3) Student ID and 4) Non-graphing scientific calculators. The rest will be supplied by the school.
To all my Chemistry 1 and 2 students (and Environmental Science 2 student if you checked out the book):
• Please bring back the Holt- Chemistry textbook for collection during the Regent Week or immediately after you come back next week. During the Regent week, I am usually going to be in my room (336) or in room 308 if I am not proctoring. If you want you can also leave the textbook with main office (be sure to include a paper address to me with your name on it so I can remove your book receipt after confirmation).
That's all, Folks, it was a productive semester, and good luck on the Regent exams!

Update for 1-23-2010
To my students,
Sorry about the delay in the posting. I had prior engagements on both Friday and Saturday which had prevented me from posting the update. Well, here it is:
Regent Chemistry 1:
• No HW assignment this weekend (Enjoy your post-finals break)!
• Please bring back the textbook on Monday for collection. I will reissue the textbook next semester.
Regent Chemistry 2:
• Important Reminder: Including the Quiz assigned for Friday, you need to finish a total of 4 Castle Learning Online quizzes for this week. This has the potential to either pass you or fail you depending on your quiz performance...
• If you need to keep the textbook to study for the Chemistry Regent exam, then you can keep it until Thursday (the day of the exam). If you don't need it, then please bring back the textbook on Monday for collection.
Environmental Science 2:
• No HW assignment this weekend (Enjoy your post-finals break)!
• A few of you still have the textbooks. Please bring back the textbook on Monday for collection.
