Make sure to understand the concepts, not just memorize them, but it should be noted that due to her teaching style, it is often difficult to understand concepts. In this case, you should reach out to another IB Chem teacher such as Mr. Bell, or refer to online resources such as the YouTube channel, Organic Chemistry Tutor.

Ms. Epplet-Stuart may not be for everyone because often, her explanations are complicated and it's very easy to zone out when she's talking, however, if you have any questions after class, she's always willing to help out. Just make sure that you take the initiative.
