3. Student Information (Section 3 Analysis) Short-term (class) goals Long-term (academic/career) goals

4. Class Goals (Student Info Responses) Better understanding of Physics, and do well do well on tests, classwork and the regents. Expand my knowledge of science, and connect it with previous science classes. Skills that will help me in college or for a job. Connect what we learn to everyday life. Enjoying the class, and have some fun labs. I am expecting this class to be hard, but I want to challenge myself. If I have any questions or confusion I want to find help.

5. Academic/Career Goals (Student Info Responses) Work with kids. Major in Biology because I want to become a pediatrician. Law or business. Major in English/history/ political science, etc. to become a lawyer. Major in neuroscience and become a doctor, because I am fascinated by the brain. Possible job would be "Sports Analyst”. Be a copywriter or a real estate agent. Mayor in business or engineering.

6. Academic/Career Goals (Student Info Responses) Something in the science and engineering. Maybe architecture. To study Science or English. Biology Computer Engineering and graphic Design Engineering and math/science. An artist, or possibly a scientist. A doctor or something in the medical or science field. Another possible job might be in business. Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Game design, and/ or graphic design.

7. Academic/Career Goals (Student Info Responses) Get a BFA in character animation and eventually work for Dreamworks animation or maybe Disney or Studio Ghibli. Marine biology or anything with animals. Economics, Music, Sound Engineering. Business and finance. Writer, Teacher Drama, film-making, photography, or something in entertainment business or arts industry Major in physiology and minor in drama. Never give up on my dreams and future.

20. Grading Policy Class participation(10%) Homework Assignments(10%) Laboratory reports(25%) Exams/Reports/Projects(55%)

21. Support Physics Extra-Help Time: ◦ 9 th period, Tuesday ◦ 1 st period, Thursday Science Center: ◦ Afterschool, Monday through Thursday. Project/lab groups that need technical advice, access to equipment/tools, or work on their projects can come see me after school (RM201/RM417)

22. Lab Report Requirements Students must be engaged in laboratory activities representing a minimum of 1,200 minutes of hands-on lab work as certified by the principal. Satisfactory written reports of these laboratory experiences must be prepared by the student. Only those persons who have satisfactorily met the laboratory requirements will be admitted to the Regents science examination. Minimum of 1,200 minutes of hands-on lab work Turn in lab folder before the Regents exam

23. Regents Exam Requirement All Regents Physics students are required to take the regents examination in June. A student who opts out of the Regents exam will be required to take a departmental final on the same day as the Regents. The grade on that final will be factored into the student’s final grade in the course. Students who are absent from the Regents without a doctor’s note will receive a 0 as a grade for the departmental final.
