Chemistry 1A / 1AL

Study Groups meet 2 hours a day, twice each week. In groups, a study group leader coaches the group by reviewing course material, answering questions, working examples to illustrate course concepts, providing worksheets for students to work on together, and helping students develop effective study strategies.

How to Join:

• The initial sign-up period for study groups has passed and group assignments have been posted. Students have been emailed their individual assignments. 
• As long as you attend the group you were assigned to, you are guaranteed to be in a study group.
• At this point, if you want to switch to a different study group or join one you were not placed in, just attend any study group below that is not marked as Full.  Be sure to sign the attendance sheet when you attend and you should be added to the study group. As long as the group does not exceed the capacity of the room, you will be allowed to join.

Mock Exams occur the weekend before each midterm or final in the course and are typically three hours long. At a Mock Exam, students will be given a practice exam written by the SLC and about an hour to work on it like it was a real exam. Then, tutors will go over the Mock Exam with an emphasis on providing tips on how to approach the real midterm or final.

Mock Exams are designed to assist students in self-assessing their comprehension of the course material and problem solving skills. Answers to Mock Exams are not printed or posted.

 

How to Sign Up

No prior signing up to attend Mock Exams is required and any student may attend any exam.  The schedule of each Mock Exam will always be posted here and also typically through the actual lecture.
