LECTURES
Lectures provide an organized overview of the subject, and a discussion of why chemistry is important from the perspective of an expert chemist. In addition, important example problems will be solved during lectures and the interconnections between concepts will be described. On average, students who attend lecture always do better on the examinations than the students who do not attend lectures regularly. That’s a fact that you should remember when making daily decisions.
