**Semester-Based Content Organization:** - **26-1sp-originals/**: Current live semester content (Spring 2026) - the baseline students are experiencing - **26-2su-redesign/**: Active development for Summer 2026 deployment - improved/restructured content - **archive/**: Historical versions no longer used for comparison (e.g., 25FA, 24SP content) **Format Benefits:** - **Chronological Sorting**: Year-first format (26-1sp, 26-2su, 27-3fa) maintains proper chronological order - **Clear Development Cycles**: Distinguish between live content and active development - **Version Management**: Easy to identify what students currently experience vs. what's being developed - **Archive Strategy**: Older versions can be moved to archive/ or deleted when no longer needed for comparison **Naming Convention:** - **26**: Year (2026) - **1sp**: Semester sequence (1=Spring, 2=Summer, 3=Fall) - **originals**: Current live content - **redesign**: Active development/improvement content ## πŸ”„ Semester Versioning This repository uses semester-based branching to manage course content across different terms: - **main**: Points to current live semester content - **26SP**: Spring 2026 (Currently Live) - **26SU**: Summer 2026 (Active Development) - **26FA**: Fall 2026 (Future Development) ### Current Status - **Live Semester**: 26SP (Spring 2026) - **Development Branch**: 26SU (Summer 2026) - **Working Branch**: 26SU ## πŸ“… Naming Conventions ### Sprint/Semester Format **Use year-first format for all semester references:** - βœ… **Correct**: 26SU, 27FA, 28SP - ❌ **Incorrect**: SU26, FA27, SP28 **Examples:** - **File Names**: `module5-27fa-comprehensive-redesign/` - **Branch Names**: `26SU-lesson-redesign`, `27FA-video-enhancement` - **Documentation**: "26SU Foundation β†’ 27FA Professional Enhancement" - **Project References**: "27FA comprehensive project", "26SU baseline" **Rationale:** Year-first format provides chronological clarity and consistent sorting in file systems, version control, and documentation references. ## πŸŽ“ Course Modules ### Module 1: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Geometry - Ionic bonds and lattice energy - Covalent bonding
