"Go to office hours! This is the first class I've done it for and it's so necessary and helpful!"

"Do NOT underestimate this course. I personally found it more challenging than PChem, but there are plenty of resources to help you succeed, so take advantage of them, especially office hours and calculation sessions."

"Go to the calculation sessions."

"Make sure you know how to do all the homework and calculation session problems independently and you should be prepared for the exams"

"Do the homework on your own first! Allow yourself to struggle on problems because that's where you'll learn the most (and learn what you do and don't know)."

"Make sure to ask questions if something isn't 100% clear. Fundamental misunderstandings will not just disappear."

"Don't underestimate PChem. In general, go to office hours."

"Be ready to work hard. Sophomore classes are a big step from freshman year classes."

"Use all calculation sessions and lectures."

"Choose your group wisely."

"Use practice questions seriously since process design is very important and understanding solutions isn't sufficient for performing well on tests."

"Read the textbook examples before lecture. For the most part, they are beneficial."

"Go to TA Office Hours and ask the TAs any questions you have, including any career related questions."

"It's a lot more work than last year, so try to be as efficient as possible."

"Always go to lecture and calculation session!!"

"Do a lot of practice problems to study."

"Make sure to start the problem sets early so that you can take advantage of Sunday night TA office hours."

"Read the assigned textbook pages before each lecture so that you aren't lost and can follow along and potentially ask questions."

"All practice problems are important!"

"Make sure to work towards learning anything you may not understand before taking the prelims."

"You will be your own worst enemy if you fall behind. Do everything you can to keep up. Playing catch-up never lets you understand the material as well as if you hear it in lecture and calculation session."

"Make sure to work through the practice problems and homework problems on a daily basis to ensure you are familiar and comfortable with the material."

"This is going to be a tough semester, between the content taking a step up across the board and navigating the balance of it all simultaneously. It will be tempting to just do the homework and activities in 2190 to completion, just "getting it done." I PROMISE you will be forever grateful to yourself if you do each problem with the goal of understanding, not completion. This class is about the journey not the destination."

"Solutions sets and answer keys won't help you at all if you don't develop intuition of solving problems."

"Take advantage of your TAs and all their experience."

"Get to know the other ChemE's. You'll be seeing them a lot."

"Do, redo, and redo all the posted practice problems."

"Hard work, enjoying life, and smiling."

"Discipline makes, discipline breaks."

"Make sure to go back to lecture notes to review concepts! Stay on top of the work; don't get behind. For the homeworks, it is very helpful to work through them as a team."

"Don't be afraid to ask the upperclassmen for advice!! They're always super helpful and I've learned a lot."

"Go to Calculation Sessions. Low grades are okay."

"Have Fun!"

"Prioritize calculation sessions."

"A formal mass balance will never be asked for explicitly. ‘A valid mathematical model' is just code for ‘a formal mass balance.' Nothing else may be used to satisfy this condition."

"Do as many practice problems as possible when preparing for an exam! Even though this class may have open-note exams you don't have much time to go through your notes during the test. Sufficient practice is much more helpful for finishing the exam on time."

"This class is a hard adjustment, but you can do it. You deserve to be here."

"Don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask for help as soon as you need it. You will mess up, feel goofy at times, and maybe feel discouraged. DON'T GIVE UP. How you do in this class does not indicate your competence. Also, make a short study guide to use on the open-note exams and practice the problems WITH YOUR NOTES. It helps a lot. Don't compare yourself to others, and don't let pride or competitiveness stop you from making friends. You got this !!"

"Study hard and study a lot."

"This course is like learning how to swim by being thrown into a pool. Accept this process of a steep learning curve in EngrD 2190 but also make sure to practice swimming with floaties on your own time. Take time to work through homework independently, ask conceptual questions at office hours, organize content and concepts, and try your best."

"When in doubt, state your assumptions and keep track of your significant figures."

"Start homework early and go to office hours."

"Make sure to stay on top of readings and lecture material, as it is easy to get behind and harder to catch up. Start the homework soon after it is assigned and go to office hours and calculation sessions. This semester can be tricky, so stay on top of all your work and seek help when you need it."

"Put your best effort into this course and try not to get discouraged if you're struggling. Keep practicing - if I'd given up earlier, I never would have improved as much as I did. You can too."

"Go to all calculation sessions. They are very helpful."

"This class's rhythm is pretty fast. Don't wait until prelims to start studying! Otherwise everything will accumulate."

"If you don't understand a specific concept, go to office hours. The TAs are very very helpful and good at explaining as they took the same course and have even more skills now that they are taking upper level ChemE classes."

"Always attempt the homework on your own at least once each assignment. Utilize office hours beyond asking questions about homework assignments. Try to review the weekly calculation session slides."

"Don't get discouraged and make many friends in class to learn and rely on when needed."

"Use office hours! The TAs will help you understand things and clean up your homework."

"Attend calculation sessions."

"Make good friends. (Mostly) people are nice. Major in something you love. (I can push through quantum mechanics only because I love PChem.)"

"Go to calculation sessions, even if you can do the exercises on your own. Group work and talking to the TAs is valuable."

"Prioritize sleep and remember your significant figures."

"Use office hours as much as possible."

"Work very hard to understand the homeworks - go to office hours, talk with your teammates, read the textbook, etc. It pays off."

"Lock in and study your ass off."
