This document provides information for students taking Chemistry class with Mr. Martensen in the fall of 2012. It outlines classroom rules, grading policies, and requirements for a scientific calculator. Students must have their own scientific calculator, as they will not be provided. The class builds skills incrementally through units, so it is important not to fall behind. Mr. Martensen offers help sessions and maintains a class website to support students.
