Welcome to Mr. Dubé's Web site. I hope you will use this to learn
more about your class, my expectations, and chemistry in the world around
you.

Class Policies
Homework will be given daily, is due at the beginning of
the period the school day after it was assigned, and willbe 5 to 10
points. A periodic quiz consisting of 1 t or 2 homework problems from the
past week may be given in lieu of collecting homework.
Tests and quizzes will be used to check your
understanding of concepts, procedures, and information.
Labs will be worth 10 to 30 points and will be on
safety, participation, and write-up. I expect neat handwritten or types
or typed reports. I'll also assign small research projects
throughout the semester.
You must make up missed tests and quizzes the day you
return, and you must submit missed homework assignments and labs within
two days for every one day you missed. Failure to make up work within
these time frames will result in a 0 for that test or assignment.
I can meet with you before or after school. I will also be in my room
(H113) during most lunch hours. Please do not hesitate to stop in if you
need extra help -- do not wait! Chemistry is a building subject, and it
is very hard to catch up once you fall behind.
We will be doing lab work nearly every week. Because of the potential
danger of any lab exercise, I will hold you to the highest standards of
behavior, and will remove you from the class if you pose a threat to
yourself or other students.
- Follow my written and oral directions carefully and immediately.
- Never perform any procedure not specifically directed by me or
assigned in the lab.
- No playful behavior is permitted in hte lab.
- Safety equipment must be worn as directed at all times, even if you
find it uncomfortable or unbecoming.
- No food, drinks, or loose clothing are permitted in the lab.
