Revise the content you learn after each class for 10-15 minutes at home, and attempt to explain the theory and implementation to yourself. If you find a portion of the content confusing, or you can't explain how it works, read the textbook for your course, get the key, or see Mrs Heron before or after class. I did all of these and finished both chemistry classes I had with Mrs Heron with excellent marks.

Mrs Heron is an understanding and caring person, not to mention, a thorough and precise teacher. If you end up in any of her chem classes, rest assured you will have an excellent teacher that is welcoming to questions and will put in the time to help you understand. My experiences with Mrs Heron are all positive; I had her for 20 and 30 chem and have no complaints; she prepared me well for the diploma exam, and was great at providing additional study resources to use.
