Blog Post 4: Reflection on Gen Chem II

Reflection:

Most valuable lesson:
The most valuable lesson that I learned this semester in chemistry was time management. Keeping up with all other classes and chemistry is definitely time consuming and requires a lot planning to ensure that study and homework time is used effectively.

Most challenging concept:
The most challenging chemistry concepts for me were the redox reactions; I had the most trouble setting up and balancing the equations.

Advice for future chem students:
I would advise future chemistry students to make sure that they take this course in a semester where they take on a light course load. This course requires a lot of time spent studying and doing the homework assignments, and the subject is not an easy one, so it would be much less stressful if students took this course  alongside easier courses during the semester.
