Everyone has their own unique learning style and part of college is figuring out which learning style works best for you. Chemistry 122 will continue to build on fundamental chemistry concepts from 121 and as we progress through the book the concepts keep building on each other. It is imperative that you build a solid foundation and more importantly, keep up with all the assigned readings and assignments this quarter.
When I lecture, I will include the section # from the book for the topics that we will cover. Right now in lecture we just started Section 10.4, so any assignments from Sections 10.2-10.3 should be completed. You should also be reading the sections of the textbook either before or after class as we go along.
On Mastering Chemistry I will post the due dates for all the assignments for when you should be completing them if you are keeping up with the material. You still have access to these assignments after they are due, but this way you will know if you are on top of things or falling behind.
Doing the homework problems correctly, keeping up with the homework and readings, and understanding all the content from the tutorials will lead to success on the exams. There are a ton of problems posted, but as I said the first day in class, if you are too busy to do all the assigned reading and homework problems, you are too busy to be a college student.
You may not be able to control how smart you are, but you can control how hard you work. Don't let anyone outwork you.
