use this form as a cover page with no plastic folder and staple all sheets together at the top left;
hand it in on time;
correct the grammar, spelling and punctuation.

You can jump to the reading topics , the bottom of this page, or back to my home page from here.

Why did you choose to come to SUNY @ Oneonta?
What is your preferred academic major and why did you choose it?

Why are you taking this course?
Why did you choose this section /instructor over alternatives, if any?
What grade do you realistically plan to earn? How will you do so?
What are your feelings about taking this course? about chemistry in general?
