The study of chemistry can be exciting and rewarding when there is a joint effort among students and instructors to continually improve learning. We have designed the General Chemistry program to give you every opportunity to master fundamental concepts of chemistry and to show your good work by learning chemistry and earning a good grade. The following description gives you the format of our Honors Chemistry 102 course for the Spring Semester, 2001.
Success is a matter of exposure and practice.
To earn a good grade you must apply yourself in all of these areas. Your goal is to understand the material well enough to answer both numerical calculations and concept questions with an ease that comes from familiarity with a subject. Read your text, and stay about one half of a chapter ahead of your lecturer. After each lecture go back to your book to reinforce things that were unclear in class. Do not expect that just because you go to class and listen that you are learning.
