In class we have been reviewing for the Final.  Remember the final is a 2 DAY FINAL - On Friday 01/18 you will take the WRITTEN portion of the exam and on Tuesday 01/22 you will take the MULTIPLE CHOICE section.  We have reviewed several of the units so far and will continue to do so this week.  Tomorrow you will have the opportunity to work on your Toxicology Reports too which are due on Friday 01/18 as well. To study I suggest you read through your notes and look at old tests/quizzes.  The review sheets from this week should also sum everything up nicely and pinpoint the main ideas. Let me know if you need any help and/or materials

Hello everyone ! I hope you all had a fun & restful vacation.  Here is what is going on in class:

Forensics

Today we started our unit of Toxicology by reading an article and answering corresponding questions.  Tomorrow we will begin notes on the unit.  I handed back the Blood Test today and went over that as well.  Please see me with any questions.  Class ends after Term 2 and we will be having a final so make sure you are keeping all your information for each unit.  Of course we will review extensively in class but everything we have done is obviously a good resource to use to study !

Homework

Integrated Science

Today I went trough all of the units we have done thus far and what you are expected t know from them.  We went through the list of learning objectives for each unit.  In class you started a review packet and should finish that for homework.  Remember it is going to be graded classwork so make sure you are filling everything out correctly. Don't be careless !
