Comprehending Chemistry

<p>Chemistry has to be the only subject so far that I feel completely dense and idiotic in. I'm great in math, physics.. you name it but Chemistry is the only subject, I'm reading the book and still I'm confused on understanding it conceptually and mathematically. Anyone have any tips on books, websites, etc.... to help me chemistry understand better? :/</p>

<p>It’s alright, I consider chemistry witchcraft anyway. What’s your major?</p>

<p>Biomedical Engineering >.></p>

<p>lol biomedical engineering? Chemistry is the last subject you want to be weak in then.
Have you tried seeking out tutors? Or maybe have a classmate explain some of the concepts to you…</p>

<p>Hi KidNovelist,
I recently posted some websites I thought were pretty good on my blog. You can check them out below:</p>

<p>Tutorial
[Chemistry</a> : Home](<a href=“http://www.wwnorton.com/college/chemistry/gilbert/home.htm]Chemistry”>Student | W. W. Norton & Company)</p>

<p>You don’t have to own a copy of the W.W. Norton textbook in order to get a valuable experience from this website’s tutorial. Includes clear explanations of concepts, an attractive layout, helpful animations, and practice problems. </p>

<p>To go to the tutorial, click on a chapter link at the top of the page. On the new page, you should see a sidebar on the left with several links. Click on “Tutorial” and choose the topic you want to see. </p>

<p>Notes
[APchem_vw[/url</a>]</p>

<p>I found a sea of AP Chemistry notes when I searched online last week, but I think these are the best. They go in-depth on topics tested on the AP Chemistry exam, but in a simple, easy to understand format. Click on a topic and then choose “Notes- Text” to download the notes for each chapter. It’s based on the most recent edition of Chemistry, The Central Science, an AP Chem textbook used at my school.</p>

<p>Video Lectures
[url=<a href=“http://www.academicearth.org/subjects/chemistry]Academic”>Online College Courses & Accredited Degree Programs - Academic Earth]Academic</a> Earth - Chemistry](<a href=“http://www.wl.k12.in.us/hs/depts/sci/vonwerderp/apchem_frameset.htm]APchem_vw[/url”>http://www.wl.k12.in.us/hs/depts/sci/vonwerderp/apchem_frameset.htm)</p>

<p>I only skimmed the lectures here, but so far they seem very detailed and informative. The topics are more advanced because they’re college-level; the lecturers are professors from UC Berkeley or MIT. A good way to immerse yourself in the environment of a university course without traveling, paying, or worrying about grades.</p>

<p>Course Materials Library
[Chemistry</a> Resources: Course Materials](<a href=“http://www.chemtopics.com/courses.htm]Chemistry”>http://www.chemtopics.com/courses.htm)</p>

<p>There are too many great websites and resources to list here, but I found them all under this website. Since you probably don’t have the time to sift through all the links, here are a few I suggest: “Pre-University Chemistry”, “General Chemistry Online!”, and “General and A.P. Chemistry Study Cards”.</p>

<p>Practice Quizzes
[AP</a> Chemistry Interactive Quiz Directory](<a href=“http://www.sciencegeek.net/APchemistry/APtaters/directory.shtml]AP”>http://www.sciencegeek.net/APchemistry/APtaters/directory.shtml)</p>

<p>Use this website as review once you’ve finished with the above links. It’s interactive and quite comprehensive. The only downside is that it doesn’t explain wrong answers.</p>

<p>Wow thanks a lot. Unfortunately, it’s a little too late as I’m on the verge of dropping the class but I asked a group of friends and they said to try to pull through even though there’s only one exam left and a final. I’m definitely going to use these notes to study asap! Thank you so much again!!!</p>
