plus hear the lecture, or do you just do one and not do the other?
symbolipoint said:No.
You usually read the parts of the book which are assigned, and if you are motivated, you read MORE from the book than has been assigned. You also attend the lecture section. If you want another description of the book material, you also can check one or more other books which may manage the same topics differently.

I also went to lecture, again focusing on organic chemistry but just being there and drawing out structures helps a lot so that come test time I'm not wasting any time wondering if I drew a molecule correctly or not.
The purpose of reading the entire chemistry textbook for the course is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and to prepare for exams and assignments.
The amount of time it takes to read the entire chemistry textbook for the course can vary depending on the individual's reading speed and comprehension. However, on average, it may take several weeks to a few months to complete.
It is not recommended to skip any chapters or sections of the chemistry textbook as they may contain important information that will be necessary for understanding future topics in the course.
While reading the entire chemistry textbook is the most comprehensive way to learn the material, there are alternative resources and study methods such as online lectures, study guides, and practice problems that can supplement or reinforce the material in the textbook.
To effectively retain the information from reading the entire chemistry textbook, it is important to take notes, summarize key concepts, and regularly review the material. It may also be helpful to discuss the material with classmates or a tutor to reinforce understanding.
