Support and Strategies for Chemistry Success

Subject: Re: Support and Strategies for Chemistry Success

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well, and I thank you for sharing your worries concerning your chemistry performance with me. Based on our conversation, it appears that certain study habits may be contributing to your chemistry difficulties. To begin, the fact that you become easily frustrated with chemistry difficulties shows that you may struggle with problem-solving and critical thinking. Problem-solving skills can be improved by approaching difficulties with a positive attitude and breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps. Furthermore, if you only study on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you may not get enough constant exposure to the content. Besides, the brain benefits from regular reinforcement of knowledge; therefore, consistency is essential for optimal learning.

Furthermore, insufficient sleep of less than five hours every night is a major problem. Sleep is essential for memory consolidation, and a lack of sleep can impair cognitive performance and make concentrating difficult. Pulling all-nighters before examinations may appear to be a solution, but it can actually be detrimental, resulting in weariness and poor cognitive efficiency.

Furthermore, checking texts on your phone while studying can be a distraction. It is critical to keep focus and prevent multitasking, which can negatively influence learning and retention.

Finally, while pre-reading chapters is beneficial, it may not be sufficient on its own. To reinforce your understanding, you can use active learning tactics such as summarizing information in your own words, teaching concepts to someone else, or practicing with challenges. I believe that making these changes to your study regimen will result in a more successful and less stressful learning experience.

Best wishes,

Support and Strategies for Chemistry Success

Assignment: Memory
STEP 1: Imagine that one of your best friends is struggling with their classes. They aspire to graduate in exercise science and go on to earn a degree in occupational therapy, but they failed their first two chemistry exams. They are feeling nervous about their performance and come to you for advice. During your discussion, you learn that:
⚫ they get easily frustrated while working on chemistry problems and approach them the same way they have always done the homework for other classes
⚫ they are sleeping less than five hours a night
⚫ they work on chemistry homework every Tuesday and Thursday night but not on other days
⚫ they always keep their phone on vibrate to check if they get messages while they study
⚫ they usually study by re-reading the chapter
⚫ they pull all-nighters before exams
STEP 2: Based on this conversation, write an email to your friend (between 200-400 words) explaining to them why their studying habits are ineffective and what steps they might take to improve their learning. Include appropriate vocabulary from this module on memory, as well as things you’ve learned about consciousness and problem-solving from other modules.
