Some of my favorite quotes:

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
O-Chem doesn't have to be a nightmare!

"Reach for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
Aim high!

"Dreams don't work unless you do."
Succeeding in O-Chem requires diligence and LOTS of practice!

SI sessions . . .
- are like a guided, interactive study group (we've been online for so long - here's your chance to make new friends and be part of a learning community!)
- will focus on the important concepts you need to know
- work best when you come as often as you can (come to every session if you can!)
- give you an opportunity to work on practice problems that reinforce learning
- give you the practice you need for O Chem
- will include reviews for exams
- are free for you
- are for ALL students!

Students who go to SI tend to have higher grades!

What SI is NOT:
SI sessions . . .
- do not replace class lectures (please pay attention in class!)
- are not a replacement for studying (please do the class HW on your own)
- do not cost money for you
- are not only for "behind students"
- are not only for students who are "on top of everything"

Remember: SI is a resource for all students. Come to learn and to review!]]> 2021-08-19 03:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gracechen010/SI/wish/1685385256 Duties of an SI leader gracechen010 https://padlet.com/gracechen010/SI/wish/1685387601 As your SI leader, I:
- have taken this class before and done well
- will be facilitating study sessions and holding group reviews
- will be keeping in touch with Dr. Nahla and reflecting on my own experiences in O Chem to help you succeed as much as possible
- will be keeping all your SI participation and information confidential
- will always be willing to help and answer questions as best as I can

As your SI leader, I am not:
- the expert; your professor is!
- doing homework or lab problems for you (I can help you with concepts, though, which will help you to solve the problem)
- here to lecture you (Dr. Nahla does an amazing job!) or tutor you (go to the STAR center!)]]> 2021-08-19 03:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gracechen010/SI/wish/1685387601 More about me gracechen010 https://padlet.com/gracechen010/SI/wish/1685391392 Hi there! This is Grace, your SI leader. I took Organic Chemistry with Dr. Nahla last school year. I am so excited to be your SI leader and I look forward to getting to know you more this semester.

Succeeding in Organic Chemistry is all about getting as much practice as possible. When I took Organic Chemistry, SI gave me the practice that I needed. I did well, and more importantly, I began to love learning Organic Chemistry! I’m here today to help you do the same. You can succeed in this class and enjoy it too.

If you every need help, or just want to talk, please do not hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to seeing you at SI!
