A New School Year Begins

摘要

By the time you read this,summer days will have drawn to an end for most of you.My students will have completed their first section-the lab safety video,two lab reports,homework assignments,and taken their first test-5 more sections to go until the end of the semester and the final exam.Once classes have begun,I rarely mark time by actual calendar dates(though holidays are important).Time is marked by what section we are working on and where we are in the section.Is it a discussion day,a laboratory or activity day,or of biggest concern to most students,a TEST day?
