Chemistry is considered a very challenging subject and that notion is
rightfully so. Chemistry is the central science, linking to all sciences and
is very math intensive. Prepare to be challeneged. As a student, I can only
ask for one thing from you, your very best effort each and every day. If you
do your best, challenege yourself, and become involved in the class, you will
have a very successful Chemistry experience.
The door is always open. I usually come to school very early in the morning
and make myself available through the late afternoon. If you do not
understand something, please come ask for help if class is not enough.
