Chemistry FeedBacks

This school year of chemistry went by quicker than I thought. Overall, I enjoyed being in this class and having Mr. Coleman as my chemistry teacher. This class was not hard, the only things that you had to do was study for friday quizzes, show up for lab, and do a few projects and a few problems out the book. The things that I liked about this class is taking notes was not difficult to do, you didn't have much to write because it was all printed out for us and it wasn't really hard to study from it when it comes to taking the friday quizzes. I also enjoyed all the labs that we have done. My favorite one was the one with bubbles and there was one with the fire that set the alarm off. I like the lab when we set our hands on fire as well. There isn't anything that I didn't like about this class. I enjoyed having you as a teacher Mr. Coleman
