Hi everyone, welcome back to the first day of the Spring Semester! 
 
Here is the update for today:
For all classes:  Regent Chemistry 2 and Earth Science 2

• HW #1 (Due Tomorrow):  

 

1) Course syllabus signed by both you and your parent - submit the whole document tomorrow (DO NOT tear-off, I will post a pdf version of the syllabus on the JupiterEd).

 

2) Send me an e-mail at "drliu.iths@gmail.com" from your regularly checked account (DO NOT use JupiterEd e-mail).  In the subject, put down "Period #", "Last Name, First Name".  Copy & past your parent's e-mail address in the body of the e-mail.

 

That's all for now.
