A Few Suggestions:

I have great respect for students at Miramar, especially those of you who give up two evenings per week to take this class. Most of you have more enjoyable things you could be doing these evenings. Each of you has your own reason that you have made chemistry a priority this semester, so let's make the best of it and learn some chemistry.

An understanding of chemical concepts and calculations requires thought and practice. Don't expect to fully comprehend everything. And don't just give up when you don't "get it" immediately. Expect to study hard; strive to study efficiently. The following page contains some ideas that may help you succeed. This is as much a course in problem solving ("word problems") as it is a chemistry course. My goal is to make everyone comfortable with scientific problem solving and to help each of you earn an "A" in this class. Start now.
