Ways College and High School are Different</b></a><br>
</big></font></big><br>
</big></font></big><big><font size="2"><big><big><font
size="2"><big>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>
(reading and analyzing the book, doing example
problems, end-of-chapter<br>
problems, on-line homework, reviewing for quizzes
and exams).<br>
Also, don't forget you will need to spend <b>6-8
hours </b>for lab prep and<br>
reports. Then there's the time spent in lecture
and lab (> <b>11 hrs</b>).<br>
That's a total of about <b>41-50 hours per week </b>just
for this one course<br>
during the summer. Yes, that's a lot of time and
a big commitment.<br>
</big></font></big></big></font></big><br>
<big><font size="2"><big><big><font size="2"><big><big><font
size="2"><big>Most of you who took a high
school chemistry class saw most of the<br>
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 generally 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>
</big></font></big></big></font></big> <br>
Also, do you </big></font></big><big><font size="2"><big><font
size="2"><big>want to get some guidance on how to
study?<br>
I have the link above but sometimes it's better to
hear things<br>
and get some specifics. Many years ago I waited
until after the<br>
first exam. I now do this at the start of the
semester since it<br>
can make a big difference for many people. Even if
you did<br>
well in high school chemistry or 1210, this course
is very different<br>
in terms of the depth of understanding expected.
Students often<br>
tell me afterwards it helps them in terms of time
management<br>
and overall reduces the time they have to spend.
Some students<br>
will spend an extraordinary amount of time and still
not do well<br>
because they aren't working efficiently.<br>

I<big><font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big><big><font
size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>t's certainly
up to you whether or not to come
tomorrow. I will be<br>
there.</big></font></big></font></big></big></font></big></font></big><big><font
size="2"><big><font size="2"><big> This will take about 1
hour and then we'll spend about 1<br>
hour reviewing some 1210 material.<br>
