Welcome to the 2008 - 2009 school year. Throughout the year we'll be learning about how many things in the "real world" we live in can be explained and better understood through science. I'm looking forward to a great year - But remember - I need your help. Let's not forget the importance of taking notes, being attentive in class, reading your text book or online material, doing practice problems, using your resources to correctly answer homework problems, and handing in homework on time. Remember, it's your grade and your education - so strive for greatness!
