You should set aside time every day to study organic chemistry. Cramming is not an effective way to succeed in this course. If you are having problems come to see me as soon as possible, before the problems become magnified. Don't try to just memorize the material. Try to find explanations for why reactions occur the way they do in terms of fundamental chemical principles.
Organic chemistry is more a way of thinking than a bunch of facts to be memorized.
You can also learn a great deal from each other. Asking and answering each others' questions will deepen your understanding of the material. The textbook we are using is an excellent one, and you will see from the syllabus that we are following the order of the book. What you need to learn is in the textbook, learn how to read it. You should think of me as your guide to understanding the material in the book, rather than the book as a guide to understanding material I am presenting.
