This term I think I did well in some areas but could also improve in some areas. I feel like for the most part I studied well and applied time in class well. Some areas I could improve on are in class notes
3/5- I had a rough start to the term but managed to pull my grade up to a B. I’ve learned a lot about discipline and time management this year especially in Chemistry. I did a bad job at the first pairing of a quiz and test, but the 2nd go around I redeemed myself and got a grade m parents are okay with.
I would rate myself throughout first term 3/5 stars. I had a rocky start with tests and doing things correctly, but i am now catching on and believe the next term will be even better.
This first term I rate myself a 4.5/5. I have been doing good on most of the assignments this year and doing decently well on the tests,but i have been struggling with staying on topic on my webpost. In the future for the second term I believe that I will get better on doing my webpost and making sure I learn the material for tests, so I do better than I have been doing.
I would rate this first term a 3/5. I did well on staying on top of things, and making sure to get grades submitted, before deadlines. I definitely need to improve my studying habits, and learn how to study better, and more effectively. As well as producing something for the test, or quiz. If I can do that effectively next term, I think I will improve my grade drastically.
I would rate my first nine weeks a 2.5/10, I procrastinated my work too much and didn’t study as much as I needed to. If I can make my study habits better and put more effort into my home work then I think I will have a better next 9 weeks. I feel like I paid attention well in class but I didn’t do well studying the material at home that I learned that day.
I would rate my first nine weeks a 8/10. I did very good grade wise and focused more than I have any other year. I still procrastinated a lot but still got everything done.
I would rate my first nine weeks a 4 /5. I did very good grade wise and focused more than I have any other year. I still procrastinated a lot but still got everything done.
I would give myself a 3/5 this first term. I have done great on most of the assignments and labs this term. I have struggled with studying for tests because I haven’t found my best study method. I am going to work on finding the best way to study for me for the next term and I will do a whole lot better on my tests. This will not only improve my grade but my knowledge of chemistry for future classes.
My goal for term two in Chemistry is to work extra to study further in advance for test instead of putting it off until the last minute. I will meet this goal by looking over my noted and re-watching Ms. Skinners vodcast weeks in,advance before the test.
My goal from term to is to put more time in to this class and study longer and better and i will meet this goel by looking at my notes and making flashcards and watching vodcasts.
My goal for the 2nd term is to maintain a good grade in chemistry all 9 weeks. To keep a good grade in chemistry I will make sure to complete all work correctly and on time, and study hard for my tests.
My goal for chemistry the 2nd term is to stay on top of my work and studying to help maintain good grades. To make sure I’m making good grades and staying on top of my work, I will work ahead of time on assignments and studying to make sure I completely know it.
My goal for chemistry for the second term is to get better grades and do all my work. to do this i will pay more attention in class and check the syllabus more often than i do right now
My goal for the 2nd semester is to do better on all my test. To reach this goal I will put more time into studying for all my test and making sure I know all the information that has been given.
My goal for the second semester is to be prepared for every quiz and test. To do this I will check the syllabus before the day start and study the right material in order to do well.
My goal for Chemistry is an A this 9 weeks. I will apply myself and continue to learn better scheduling and study habits. One of these new study habits is studying several days in advance.
My goal for second term in chemistry is to work hard to keep my grade up. What i’ll try to do to make it happen is study a lot and do not procrastinate doing homework.
My goal for second semester is to remember to actually do my web posts and make better grades. My thoughts on how I can achieve these goals is to set reminders about the web post, BEFORE the dead line. I always have about thirty minutes down time before bed that I could use to review my notes and any labs so that I would be better prepared.
During the second term in chemistry I am setting a goal for myself to not wait till the last minute to study material for tests. I will try to achieve my goal by as soon as learning the material go ahead and apply it to study it ahead of time.
My goal for the second is to not procrastinate on very assignment and test and actually study a week ahead of time or whenever Ms. Skinner says to. As soon as I get home and i have a homework assignment I will do it immediately. For tests I won’t just memorize the material but I will learn it so I can apply it on the test.
My goal for term 2 is to develop better studying habits for tests and quizzes so that i can best apply my knowledge onto paper. I plan to do this by taking better notes in class and listening close to the lectures. I will start my studying a few days prior to the test or quiz to give enough time to learn and review the material.
In this upcoming second term, Im setting a goal to have more confidence in my academic ability, and not give up so easily when I get discouraged. Also making sure of my honor, and integrity, and learning on my own. I will accomplish these things by staying ahead of schedule, and being more independent, not leaning on others for help, but myself instead.
My goal for 2nd term is to try and do well on every test/quiz. I’ll accomplish this by studying and memorizing the provided notes from past days and apply my methods of studying to them. I’d also like to be more comfortable around bunsen burners, which can be accomplished by exposing myself more to fire.
My goal the the 2nd term would be to learn as much as possible from chemistry- I would say that is my highest priority. But my more measurable goal would be to finish out the semester with an A and some confidence. I will try my best to recover if I am out, and will pay attention in class. I. Will. Check. The. Syllabus. BEFORE. CLASS.
My goal for the 2nd term is to do good on my labs and any tests/quizzes we have. I’ll complete this by studying in advance for my tests/quizzes and make sure to read the lab report more than once/do good on the pre lab quizzes.
My goal for the second term is to be focused in class and on labs. I also want to improve my study habits, so I can feel successful

this nine weeks my goal is to study harder and make better grades. i want to do better on my assignments and tests. To achieve this goal i will pay attention in class and study more days in advance for tests. I will do all my assignments on time and make sure I know how to do them
during these 9 weeks i need too do better with studying. and checking the syllabus and doing the homework that is assigned. to complete this i will look over my notes, rewatch the lessons that are posted, and i will check the syllabus everyday to stay up to pace on homework and other assignments
My goal for the second term is to have a better grade than last term. To do this i will study more diligently and always remember to do my webpost. I will work harder and do my work more honestly.
My goal for chemistry in the second term is to check the syllabus and make sure i know if we have homework every day. and to be more prepared overall this would benefit my grade a lot.
My objective for the second term is to improve my grades compared to last term. To achieve this, I plan to study more consistently and make sure I complete all my webposts on time. I’m committed to putting in more effort and approaching my work with greater integrity.
My objective for this term is to put forth more time and focus on studying chemistry. To achieve this, I plan to dedicate a specific amount of time each day to go over what we’ve learned in class.
I rate my week a 3/5 starts last week. I am getting alot better at lab quizzes and taking notes but i keep forgetting to do web posts. This week I am doing my webpost on Monday instead of waiting until Friday to get it done.
A large Veterans Affairs study of over 33,000 patients found that taking nicotinamide (vitamin B3) was associated with a 14% overall reduction in new nonmelanoma skin cancers, with the greatest benefit—up to 54% risk reduction—when started after a first skin cancer. Researchers suggest that earlier use of nicotinamide could shift prevention strategies, though benefits were less clear in transplant recipients and those with multiple prior cancers.

There has been a recent breakthrough in fighting liver cancer with molecules that are naturally found in Guava fruit. William Chain and his team have discovered this new approach to fighting cancer that is not only more affordable but also requires resources that are more available. Liver cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers known and this treatment could be a new approach to changing those statistics.

As Arctic ice melts, scientists are uncovering a hidden layer of nitrogen-fixing bacteria beneath the surface. Microbes supply the ocean with nitrogen, stimulating algae growth that sustains the marine food web. With ice melting cover, both algae production and carbon dioxide absorption shifting the region’s ecological balance.

Your brain makes food choices before you even know what you’re looking at. Naturally, how fast our brains process the different aspects of foods will affect our dietary decisions. Studies have shown that we may process how tasty a food is before we process how healthy it is. This can bias our choices toward foods that taste better over foods that are healthier.

The ozone layer of Earth’s atmosphere is finally starting to show signs of healing. After numerous concerns across the globe of the possibility that the ozone layer could be in danger, worldwide productions have completely stopped all harmful chemicals to the layer, such as halocarbons containing chlorine and bromine. Though, very slowly, the ozone layer is expected to heal.

4.5/5- I believe I did really well on application and the understanding of the taught processes. However, I did poorly on the discussion topics because of a lack of attention t detail in class on days of taking notes. Also, I need to begin asking myself what might be a discussion question or an overall requirement to know on future tests.
There is a key difference between venom and poison such as venomous animals inject their toxins, while poisonous animals cant’t be eaten or touched. Venomous bites have been one of the causes of death worldwide. All together, it is important to recognize what kind of animals you come in contact with because you never know whether they are venomous or poisonous.
