Classroom rule (of thumb)
I am permissive to actions in the classroom, and do not require you to sit up straight and follow too much formalities. If you need to stand and move around, do that. The rule-of-thumb is be considerate and do not harm others.
FB / IG / snap / wtsapp etc are 🚫 because they distract others around you too.
You would never find Jon shouting at you or otherwise wielding the Teacher Power. If you are someone who need someone screaming at you, you will need to find other motivations!
Still no shouting, but fairness is very important. Cheating and lying will absolutely not be tolerated.
Supplies
Bring the limited notes from recent weeks --- not everything!
Bring headphones. Some instructions will continue to exist in the form of videos, and Jon gets really uncomfortable hearing his own voice from 16 places in the room.
Forgetting
To forget is human. You need some disciplined, intelligent method if you want to keep something in memory.
Studying
You should set your own expectations. Everyone can get a 7, but that may not be your goal. The number of hours you engage with chem each week is approximately your final IB grade. In other words, if you come to class for 3 hours, and practice for another 4 --- consistently and efficiently --- you can expect a seven at the end of the two years.
Test and quizzes
I treat quizzes and tests as instruments to stage and motivate your studies. In general, your chemistry skills and knowledge will be tried in class first, then in quizzes, and finally in a test. There should not be surprises when an assessment matters.
