Episode 56: General Chemistry Success Tips

Are you struggling in your general chemistry course? Have you heard horror stories from other students and want to prepare yourself to succeed? General chemistry is widely known as one of the first premed “weeder” courses, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a grueling experience. It also doesn’t mean that if you fail chemistry you’re just not cut out to be a doctor. In fact, many people have struggled in chemistry and are fantastic doctors today. In this episode, Dr. Marina talks with two current chemistry teaching assistants (TAs) who share their experiences with taking chemistry and how they managed to master the material well enough to succeed…and become TAs! They also help to show you that you shouldn’t be afraid of asking for help — in fact, they love it when students come into office hours with questions!
