Chemistry Fall 2008

you already know I'm in. I don't have any links but today I went to the library and picked the complete idiots guide to chem and the cartoon guide to chem for starting points.

One more good one that Carlos had posted....Thanks!

I have my books for class already....was told to read the first couple of chapters to prepare and I also got the study guide from the book store for dummies.....lol....My Prof wrote the books we will be using in class....scary....I was told he is a very smart man but has a dry sense of humor or stagnant personality.

I'm in and terrified. Chem and I dont mix. I still have nightmares of my highschool chemisty class! I need all the help I can get. I am definately looking in to getting the 'idiots guide to chemistry' book! Thanks msdeannah!

Math skills review:

There are also reviews on significant figures, scientific notation, etc. You can find them by scrolling down to the bottom of that page. If your math is a bit rusty, get started on these NOW! :)

All-around good chem review resource for many topics:

Just a note about Mr. Guch's worksheets mentioned above. There are MANY mistakes in them. So if you get a problem wrong and don't know why, make sure you come here and see if HE had the problem right! :)

An AWESOME site is chemreview.net. Holy moley, I love that site! It's good for both Chem I and Chem II, from the basics on up. Here's the link:

Thanks so much for the sites! Does anyone know of any sites that are for organic chemistry or bio-chemistry? I'm taking a health career combo class this fall. I've been looking at my textbook and I'm already so confused lol. Any help would be really appreciated! :heartbeat

Thanks Atomic Woman....those will come in handy.

Just realized I didn't post the site from Carlos. Here ya go

Thanks for the helpful sites! I'm getting in on this thread as well as A&P

The book I've been using along with the class chem book this summer is CliffsStudySolver Chemistry. It's a big thick workbook with lots of questions to work on to really "get the stuff down". I've found it immensely helpful and I would be having a lot of trouble without it probably.

The chemreview.net is essentially an 800+ page book with lots of problems and very clear explanations that you can download (in pieces) for free.

Atomic Woman....what an ecellent site for early reviews....Thanks!

Dallett I also have Cliff's Study Solver.....I have been looking things over.....I have my books for both Chem & Chem Lab....was told by the Prof to read the first few chapters of it and for the Lab book, to practice up on the exponets and basic Algebra.....It's a Mat Lab class....not favorite subject.

Thanks for all the websites it will be very helpful! :nuke:

I am in once again. I took Basic Chemistry last Spring and got an A but worked very hard at it. I haveto take Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry this Fall (the first half) and the second half in the Spring.

Thanks for the websites. I also have the Cliff's Study Solver as well as Homework Helpers Chemistry by Greg Curran. I found both of these books to be very helpful for Basic Chemistry and hope they will for the next two classes.
