"Try the homework problems on your own first. Go to lectures and sit at the front. Redo problems done in homeworks and discussion sessions."

"Study early for the exams."

"Turn around before it's too late!! jk, to go office hours and do lots of extra practice problems."

"Take some time after each calculation session/lecture to review the exercises and make sure you understand how they are done. Work out homework problems by yourself before meeting with your group."

"Start the problem sets during the weekend so you can go to office hours and open your week up to do PChem and all the other problem sets."

"Choose a random homework team to get to know your peers and don't be afraid to ask for help. (Office hours are very helpful and the TAs are a great resource for questions and advice!)"

"Start a class-wide group chat."

"Make sure you do/understand all of the recommended practice problems before the test."

"Learn to prioritize your time well along with your other extracurriculars. The class is fast-paced and there are lots of practice questions throughout each lecture and calculation session. Understand how to do them and don't be afraid to ask questions in lecture or in calculation session or even office hours. The powerpoints go by fast, so just try to understand lecture material without worrying about copying every little thing. I wish you the best - you got this!"

"Make good friends with your homework team. They are probably all great people. *'Open-note' does not mean 'Don't study'."

"Go to Calculation Session! You learn skills that will help you on the homework and exams. Get closer to your TAs and get to know your peers."

"Buy erasable colored pens; they saved me in this course!"

"Be friends with the TAs and your homework team. Get to know Prof. Duncan, as he's a pretty cool guy. *Download solutions before the day of the exam in case the website crashes. ROI is everything."

"Go to every single calculation session. Your TAs are your greatest resource. Make friends because you can't do this alone."

"Take advantage of the exercise solutions."

"Just invest in a ruler and colored pens. Also don't always focus on PChem on Thursday night. Make sure you're putting real effort into the homeworks."

"Go to calculation session and ask lots of questions! Read the textbook before lecture (and go over it after lecture.)"

"Read the textbook after lecture/before prelims as well."

"Keep your notes organized and make sure to write out your thought-process -> this helps for open-note exams."

"DO NOT be afraid to ask the TAs or Duncan for help! They are your most valuable resources!"

"You don't actually need a French curve."

"Read the textbook pre-lecture. GO TO CALCULATION SESSION. The more practice problems you do, the easier it gets."

"Don't fall behind at the beginning! Keep up with problems and textbook reading, or you will play catch-up the whole semester. Practice problems done in class, calculation session, and lecture are the best way to study for a prelim!"

"Do the homework. Ask questions. Spend enough time on this class. You're not going to learn everything the night before the prelim."

"Your first introduction into the world of Chemical Engineering will be daunting, intimidating, and scary at times. Rest assured - we all felt the emotions that you will feel this semester, and we all survived. Remember, Dr. Duncan wants you to succeed. Use the resources he provides. They're there for a reason."

"Address lack of studying ability before starting class."

"Go to class and calculation sessions. When doing practice problems, do them without looking at the solutions."

"Keep up with the textbook and go to class. Don't miss calculation sessions either and lean on your peers for help."

"Regularly attend calculation sessions and review those problems while studying for each prelim."

"Make sure to keep up with the textbook before lecture."

"Use colors and do lots of practice problems."

"It's okay if you don't intuitively get how to do the problems at first even if it seems like your peers already know what they're doing - just go at your own pace and work for it until you're able to do it; you got this!"

"Make as many friends as possible because I think I learned the most in this class working with my homework group, calculation session groups, and in groups in office hours."

"Definitely go to calculation session. It helps with really learning the material."

"Go to discussion sections; they are super helpful and a great way to learn the material."

"Work on all homework exercises and go to calculation session; they are good for staying on track with the material."

"Keep the lecture and handouts organized in a binder or something similar."

"Read the textbook! Do the HW on your own before meeting with your team. Do not let the work pile up. Keep up with the coursework and you should be fine."
