Welcome to Murph's World!

Hello Fellow Chemists,

Here is some information that you will find useful: 

 

Today's Mission:

  • Read the information below, starting with "How to Access Lessons." 
  • Look over the information in tab at the top of the blog that pertains to your class (for example, SCH3U Intro).  
  • You and your parent/guardian must sign the Course Information Sheet, Syllabus and Safety Contract
  • To save paper, write "I have read and understood the CIS, syllabus and safety contract.  Signed __________(you)    ________(parent)" on a piece of paper.  Send me this through an Edsby message.
  • Do the Diagnostic Quiz at the bottom of that same tab.


How to Access Lessons:

All lessons (many with accompanying videos - mainly made by me), homework and answer keys can be found on this blog. 

A course timeline, with hyperlinks to the appropriate blog lesson, is posted on Edsby.

  

How to Access Help:

You can seek out help/clarification when the need arises by asking during class or contacting me on Edsby.  

I also strongly encourage you to start/become a part of a group chat.  The hive mind is typically stronger than the individual.  😃
