Have You Remembered ?

In your Open-Book paper report, have you remembered to:  

(a)     produce a report which is about 1000 words long?                                             

(b)          include an “answer” to ALL the bullet-pointed “questions”?             

(c)          write (largely) in complete sentences, use correct grammar  and spelling,

and punctuate appropriately?                                                                                                 

(d)     use correct and appropriate scientific and technical terms?      

(e)     include chemical (formulae) equations for as many reactions as possible?                

(f)     include diagrams / pictures / tables / charts to illustrate your account AND          link them to the text?                                                            

(g)     include a word count as instructed (a separate count on each page) and number            your pages?                                                                             

(h)     add a list of articles, books, web sites which you have consulted in order               to write your account?                                                                    

(i)      include in your list of references the two articles in the paper?      

(j)      realise  that the TWO Salters books (Storylines and Chemical Ideas) count

as ONE reference, so that you need to include at least one other source in

your  list?                                                                              

(k)     include in your book and journal references the name(s) of the author(s),          section or chapter title and page numbers, and in your web site references,            the name of the owner or distributor of the site, the URL and a description               of the pages you consulted?                                                     

(l)   annotate your text, showing where a particular source had been consulted?                                                                                                   

(m)    keep your Summary within the 50-word limit?                                    

(n)    include in your Summary four chemical points?  (A reasonable starting point would be to select four “pieces of chemistry” which you have learned, or         which has been reinforced in your mind, by reading the articles.)
