I took a Fundamental Chem course two semesters ago. I barely scraped by with a B. The following semester I had the opportunity to work as a Student Instructor for the same Chem course. I passed because I was strong in math. I got better with the theory because I sat through it a 2nd time with other students having the same angst. You have my permission to reach out to me. I can try to explain it in a way that makes sense, but at the end of the day Chem is a HARD science. That doesn't mean difficult. It is that too (difficult), but it is very math based, so you have to have a grasp of the theory and the math.
I still have my McGraw Hill book and can look through the different subjects.
I relied very heavily on youtube for that course, in particular this guy's videos: Tyler DeWitt - YouTube
He writes every step of an equation out and explains it very slowly.

Im currently struggling with an inorganic chem course I'm taking this summer. Does anyone have any tips, advice, mneumonics, help to offer please?! I'm having trouble with redox equations, polyatomic ions, vserp theory, basically everything.
I have been studying and doing homework from the book every night but I feel it is not enough. I have not seen a tutor because my schedule is not the best. So far my grade is a Cish, im trying to get at least a B+ now that my hopes of gettin an A are gone. Our grade consists solely of 3 exams and 3 quizzes(75%), and lab reports and lab quizzes (25%). Im doing fine in lab, its the exams and quizzes that are really stressing me out.
Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
