How to Pass Chemistry
Work the problems!
- Nothing is as important as working the problems. Work as many problems
as you can. Watching the professor or your friends work a problem is not the
same as doing it yourself.
- After you have read the book and the examples on how to work a type of
problem, try one without looking at the book or study guide.
- As you work the problem, have a clear idea of what the goal of the
problem is. ("I have to figure out how many of these pills a patient
needs.") List what you are given to start with. (Each pill contains 50 mg.
of medication and the patient needs 75 mg.) Clearly show each step of your
calculations or thought processes. Label units.
- After you have figured out how to work a type of problem, explain it to
someone else. If you can explain it to someone else so that they understand
it, you can feel confident that you really do understand it yourself.
