Keeping a Lab Notebook—Fall 2012
Studying for Chemistry:
Recommended study time for science
classes is a minimum of 2 hours of study for each hour in class. These should be spread out rather than weekly
or just before a test. What can you do
for two hours? Consider some of the
suggestions below...find out what works best for you.
Possible study time activities: Review/rewrite notes checking against text
for accuracy and completeness; List vocabulary, formulas or anything else that must
be memorized and make flash cards; Work and
rework in-class examples,
in-text examples, daily problems, end-of-chapter problems and mastering
chemistry problems relevant to the day’s material (without looking at the answers!); Check your answers against the key at the end of text or solutions
manuals in library (ask as circulation desk); Guess what questions might be
on a quiz or test, create your own quiz and make sure you know the answers; Pretend
you will be allowed one page of “help” for the next quiz/test, decide what you
would put on it, how you would organize it...then do it (but you won’t actually
get to use it on a quiz or TEST!); Visit the tutor center for help with
anything that is unclear; Use other chemistry texts for more example problems
or different ways of seeing the information (this class hasn’t changed much in
10 years, check out libraries, the tutor center, what you can buy for a dollar
from Amazon...); email me if you have something to add to this list.
