LOTS of formulas to memorize. Except for the first introductory unit, the rest are basically cumulative - you WILL be expected to use knowledge from past units. Posted slides may or may not be helpful, so identify verified sources to supplement (do NOT rely on Google search). Also (and this might be something specific to Mrs. Engels), SIGNIFICANT FIGURES COUNT. Don't be too discouraged if you just aren't the best at Chemistry - most people like Biology more (anyone else is a psycho). Unfortunately, this is a required class, so if you liked Biology, get ready to LOCK IN. Pay attention in class - take notes however works best for you. Good luck.
