WELCOME TO CLEVELAND CHEMISTRY...
Students who are not prepared in math skills are the students who struggle the most and have to spend the most time on chemistry. If you are not concurrently enrolled in algebra 3-4 or above you may not really have the prerequisite math ability for chemistry. Students in geometry will need to spend more time on parts of chemistry, especially in the second semester to keep up.
Please read the syllabus and put the important websites from this link into your notes. In addition to study of the text and your class notes you should consider the internet, especially YouTube chemistry channels, an essential part of learning chemistry well. WATCH THE VIDEOS... you will slowly build important concepts...

You need to know HOW TO STUDY CHEMISTRY. This course can quickly become difficult if you do not have study skills and do not PRACTICE study skills. Read page 904 to 907 in the text book on study skills, it has some really useful advice. The most useful is to read and problem solve ahead of class.
