<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. Studying for this class is
different<br>
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 you may actually have to put in about
18<br>
hours outside of class for the lecture material. Also,
don't forget<br>
you will need to spend 3-4 hours for lab prep and reports.<br>
<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. In the past 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, this course is very
different in<br>
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 25 or more hours per week and still not do
well because<br>
they aren't working efficiently.<br>
<br>
I strongly suggest if you got less than 50% on the
pre-assessment<br>
quiz you really should come to one of these. Even if
you scored<br>
100% or didn't take it yet you should consider coming.
It's certainly<br>
up to you whether or not to come. I will be there.<br>
