The whole unit was memorised and not understood. Drawing the process before naming any of it is what made it stick, and the test came back an 89.

In Dana’s words
Twelve years teaching honors chemistry at a Seattle high school.
I take students from January to the May exam and nothing outside that window, because the syllabus only fits if we start on time.
10min
Bring last week's quiz, the homework that stalled or the syllabus. It gets read before anything else.
15min
You pick a question out of that pile and the two of you finish it together, out loud.
5min
A plan with the number of lessons written down, and no card asked for to hear it.
Who checked Dana
Five checks, and the file says what each one found
About 11 applicants in a hundred clear all five. Open any of them to read what was actually on the paperwork.

Dana’s background check is inside its yearly re-run. The one it replaces still stands, and the badge returns the day the new search lands. A check that lapses takes the profile down that day.

The problem sets were where it fell apart every week. Two lessons on the same three steps, and her lab grade went up a letter.

I walked into the AP with four full free-response sets behind me and finished with twenty minutes to spare. A 5 in May after a 3 on the mock.
