This is a guide for introductory college chemistry students who are new to the subject of chemistry and who have been exposed to linear and second-order algebra equations and the concept of slope. The guide presents directions on the following topics: (1) How to prepare for lectures and take notes; (2) How to study chemistry outside of class using the text and problem solving; (3) Preparing for examinations and using the examination as a learning tool; (4) How to prepare for a laboratory; and (5) What to do during the laboratory. A diagram of the basic chemistry learning scheme is given to illustrate the logical progression through the chemistry course. (SA)
