For Honors Chem, there is way too much repetitive work, and the cornell notes are incredibly annoying. It is certiantly a hard class that is annoying to take, but at the same time you do learn a lot

Mrs. Baldessari honestly gives you so much busy work it isn't funny. Packets of the same material over and over until it's drilled into your soul. Textbooks are not used ever in class but you will need to take notes at home for credit. The biggest portion of your grade will come from exams, then labs, then homework and worksheets.

A considerable amount of hw is given each week, even if not all of it is due the next day. Labs are a huge chunk of the grade and the rubrics are a good checklist to make sure everything is there. Tests have two parts: multiple choice and extended response. Projects are rare but there are several important ones. Though there are tons of worksheets, try to complete them. There are several extra credit opportunities. Use Google Classroom to keep up with dates and deadlines. Chemistry isn't my favorite but it's not so bad if you make sure to study.
