Use outside resources as much as possible! Some things McCracken tries to explain but she cannot get the point across well enough for you to understand, so use Khan Academy and YouTube to help understand concepts. She doesn't really expect you to memorize everything, but also her tests may get confusing.
If you want to succeed, you must always listen during discussions in order to understand the text to the best of your abilities so your analysis is the as in depth as it can be.
For regular Chemistry make sure that you study very well for the quizzes. They are not hard necessarily but you need to make sure that you understand the material well enough from the homework packets that she gives. If you're unclear on anything just rely on resources on YouTube/ Khan Academy as the powerpoints aren't very clarifying. Be sure to fully understand labs and the calculations that come with them to help pillow your grade and completely double-check that you included information like lab group, full name, period, date etc., having written everything in black pen and everything corrected in red pen before turning in any homework to not get points docked off. Essentially, t be sure to be on top of all the concepts covered in class and you should be able to receive a good grade/
For the multiple-choice(essentially matching) history exams for Amstuds, you do not need to memorize anything in depth from individual reading packets or lecture notes, rather be familiar with terms on the study guides that are on the website for each unit, the exams are really easy and straightforward as long as you have a general understanding of the events/ important figures of the particular thematic unit being focused on(just be sure to watch out for vocabulary from assigned sets as that can add a hint of trickiness, refresh thoroughly on Quizlet. In-class essays and projects are easy points as long as you put in effort and demonstrate an understanding of key topics. In general, I would 100% recommend taking this class because it's always fun and you will learn a lot with constructive feedback.
