Students are expected to remain current through the work with the lecture notes, reading of the assigned textbook material, and solving the problems assigned for homework. If one is not satisfied with the grading of any quiz question, it must be submitted to the instructor for regrading within 3 days after the test has been returned, with a written explanation of the discrepancy. From the instructor's past experience, not attending even a small number of lectures usually drastically affects student's performance. Make-up quiz, if scheduled, will not be easier than the regularly scheduled quiz and will not contain bonus questions. It is absolutely essential for your success in this course.
Chemistry is fun ,- but only for the one who works hard.
Thoughtful practicing, and practicing only, is the key for mastering this course. Solutions manual might be helpful as a last resort, but you will never learn how to solve problems unless you solve them. Your learning can be greatly facilitated by the group discussions. It's useful to briefly read the material before it is discussed at the lecture. Concentrate on the summary at the end of each chapter.
