The discussion revolves around the preparation needed for CHEM 1412 (General Inorganic Chemistry 2) after completing CHEM 1411. Participants explore what specific topics or materials from CHEM 1411 should be reviewed to ensure a successful transition into the next course.
Participants do not reach a consensus on specific topics to review from CHEM 1411, and multiple suggestions and concerns about resource availability are expressed. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to prepare for CHEM 1412.
Some participants express uncertainty about which specific topics from CHEM 1411 are most relevant for CHEM 1412, indicating a lack of clarity on the curriculum overlap. There are also limitations regarding access to textbooks and resources, which may affect the review process.
Asphodel said:Just go re-read the chapters it covered. You do keep your old textbooks, right?
Asphodel said:Chemistry is a science, and the book was good enough for the topic the first time around. Where does the problem lie, again?
Asphodel said:Bummer. Have you checked whether your new school's library has a copy of your old book or the one used at the new school? (If you haven't noticed, I haven't taken inorganic chem to know what a topic list should look like, just curious about some of the more obvious review options you hadn't mentioned trying.)
