Memorize key formulas and pay attention to how she solves problems during lectures. She's very specific to details so ask questions and see her after a quiz/test even if you have a good mark. Overall, a passable class if you put in the work and you could definitly benefit from actually locking in during lectures. She's great during labs and will help you, although a bit confusing in her instructions for lab reports soemtimes.

For chem of solutions: The teacher is very organized and is almost always available to help. Going to her office hours if you have questions is very beneficial and she is always happy to help you. Going to her class was always very enjoyable because apart from occasional in-class quizzes. you just come to class, listen, try to understand and take notes! Write down whatever is not on the slides (those are posted online). If you ever have a question or she forgot to post some document, send her a Mio and she responds within a few hours at any time. Ask questions for the lab to do better and get good grades there. Do the Mastering in Chemistry assignments to practice for quizzes, tests and the final. Tests are LONG but the questions are not tricky, they are like those in the practice problems or in the slides. Study theory and problems and youll do decent, but be quick as well.

Really good teacher. She literally goes out of her way to help you during labs. You just need to write down what she writes and you will be good

Ask for help, review, review, review. Please don't wait until the last minute to study because nothing good will come from that! She's a nice and reasonable teacher, if you need help, go talk to her and she will sit down with you and explain what you don't understand and will show you how that concept relates to the rest of the course materials. Continue studying throughout the entire semester to not be overstressed and overworked during a week or so.

She posts the notes online but she writes extra information on the board, so my advice would be to write everything down and re-write the notes online. She goes over the material very quickly so try not to miss a class. She's super nice but her tests are really long and there is not much time to think. PLEASE do the sample problems in the notes right away because they help a lot and go over the textbook questions she posts because there's a lot of material covered in the textbook but not in her notes (She'll just mention it in class and not write it down). But she's super chill, especially with extensions and she's very approachable too :)
