TERM PAPER :

THIS IS HELPFUL FOR THOSE WHO HAPPEN TO SCORE LOWER ON THEIR MIDTERM TESTS DUE TO SOME UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES.

From chapter 2 - 11, write definitions of 10 key terms from every chapter with examples. If you want, you can be creative in your presentation. Some students like to draw pictures and color them, some like to draw and some like to use power point presentation to create bullet points. Whatever style suits you, write it the way you like, so that you can refer to this term paper in next classes as well.

10 key terms with 1-2 line definition of each, with examples. A total of 100 key terms from 10 chapters in chem 30A !!!

Due 1 week before the FINAL EXAM (Or as early as on the Day of last midterm test)

10 Extra Credit Points to be added to all three midterm tests.

This makes up for the loss, in case you do badly on one of the midterm tests due to some emergency situation.
