TIPS FOR SUCCESS IN BI 314
Have completed at least 1 quarter of organic chemistry and be enrolled in the next —
that is the best indicator I have found for success in this class.
Read all figure captions and boxes —
some of the information in the book is there and not in the main text.
Study the Summary and Key Terms
— they are at the end of each chapter, plus, know definitions for terms in
bold
in the text.
Use the Glossary!
Answer all of the chapter questions
— there are questions at the end of each chapter and on your CD-ROM. I will give you guidance on which ones to concentrate on.
Then, check your answers! —
They are at the back of the book and on the CD-ROM.
Come to class and listen to understand
— The class notes will be available on the class website (http://osu.orst.edu/dept/lomaxlab/classes/bi314) prior to each class.
Visit the instructor and the teaching assistants as often as possible
— that is what we are here for!
