Welcome!

Welcome to CHEM 221, Principles or Chemistry III or Survey of Biochemistry

Meet your Instructor: Erica Ingalls, PhD

How to Be Successful in This Course

  1. Participate in ALL available sessions, pay close attention, and take notes!

  2. Learning chemistry is a sequential process. You must understand today’s material before you can understand tomorrow's. As with all courses at UW, your instructors and TAs will assume that you are studying at least two hours for each hour of lecture and one hour for every hour of lab. Find a place that allows for periods of uninterrupted study. Skim through chapter or sections to be covered in the next lecture.

  3. Make daily, weekly, and quarterly learning plans and follow those plans.

  4. Working in shorter, more frequent sessions in Achieve will be more efficient than long, marathon sessions.

  5. Practice! Work on suggested end-of-the-chapter problems as well as topics in Achieve - focus on understanding

    the concepts and general processes, not just memorizing how to solve a specific problem.
