<br>
Both will be very helpful. This class moves quickly and is
very<br>
different than most high school classes and even those you may<br>
have had so far in college, including 1210. Studying for this
class<br>
is different than what you may have had to do for most of
your other<br>
classes. Please read the material in the above links and pay
close<br>
attention to what is stated there and in my original e-mail.
Due to<br>
the speed of the class and the material we cover you may
actually<br>
have to put in <b>24-30 hours </b>outside of class for the
lecture material.<br>
Also, don't forget you will need to spend <b>6-8 hours </b>for
lab prep and<br>
reports. Yes, that's a total of about <b>30-40 hours per
week </b>just for<br>
this one course during the summer.<br>
<br>
Most of you who took a high school chemistry class you saw
most of<br>
the material in Chem 1210 before. That will likely not be the
case for<br>
the material in 1220. Even for those who took AP chemistry
those<br>
AP courses are not all equivalent, depending on where you went
to<br>
high school. Plus we tend to expect a deeper understanding of
the<br>
material and of concepts, which sometimes are not covered in
high<br>
school classes, including AP courses. Plus, if you did take
an AP<br>
chem course don't sit back and think all is well and you don't
have to<br>
study. If the course was 2 years or more ago you may not
remember<br>
everything as well as you think.<br>
<br>
I discussed much of this in the session on Tuesday and after
lecture<br>
today.<br>
