How to Succeed in Chemistry at Any Level
How to Succeed in Chemistry:
-
Take good notes. The notes I provide here are just a study guide, an outline, "bare bones". YOU NEED to capture the important details and examples... so make sure to take lots of careful notes. Try Cornell notes. They are a good way of taking notes that will help you study for tests and quizzes.
-
Do your homework. It is VERY hard to succeed in chemistry without lots of practice. Your homework is the best place to do this.
-
Study actively. When it comes time for a quiz or a test, don't just "review your notes." In order to learn chemistry, you need to make your brain active. Quiz yourself. Redo practice problems while simulating test-taking conditions.
-
Seek extra help early and often. Don't let confusion snowball! I want to help you succeed - so please, PLEASE ask for help!!
