Study Habits

On the first day of class I stated that my goals as your professor was to make you a better chemist, a better student, and a better person. Part of being the best student that you can be is to develop good study habits. This week in lab all of you took a quiz. It is shocking to me that only 27 of you took a look at the answer key to the quiz posted on Carmen. Looking at the answer key and working out the problems you got wrong is a vital part of the quiz/exam taking process and it is an integral part of the learning process. It might be a pain in the ass to look these problems over, but just do it!

In order to facilitate this process I will definitely give a "pop quiz" shortly after the first exam to be sure you are looking over the problems the class is having trouble with.
