If you do not have a strong background in Chemistry, you will need to work more than the assigned problems. You should set aside regular times for studying for this course. Include some review of old material in each study session. Pay attention to vocabulary . Many words have very precise meanings in Chemistry that have broader meanings in the English language.
Many chemical names look or sound similar, but represent significantly different substances.
Tutoring and Working in Groups You must learn to solve complex scientific problems to be successful as a science or pre-med major. Good problem solving skills are learned slowly and require lots of practice. Seeing others work problems or working in groups to solve problems can greatly facilitate that process. Tutors will be several nights of the week. Specific information about room and times will be announced.
