There is no perfect way to study for this course. I recommend skimming the chapter before lecture, come to class and take notes, then read the book thoroughly, paying particular attention to the examples in the text, then do all the problems. I recommend trying the problems below first.

If you have time you should recopy all your notes. Most people do not have that kind of time. If you do not recopy all your notes, please reread them before you go to bed that night. You may find that you can remember things that you need to add. Fifteen minutes before class please skim your notes again. You may find that this lets your mind "boot up" into chemistry mode. It will also remind you to ask about anything that was unclear about the last material covered.
