Assessments:
Test date: October 12 or 15 The test will be open notebook, but you may not bring your Ilmiö book along.
Study guidance for open note tests here.
Guidance for this test :
- you will not have to draw long, complicated molecules but will need to recognise them, e.g. the homologous group(family)they belong to, and name based on the number of carbon atoms.
- your homeworks and notes from 'An Inconvenient Truth' will be important- there is a reflection task in the test (for Crit. D) so notes you have taken will be useful
