Looking for tips...
I'm taking Chem 212 this spring, and chemistry and I don't have the best of histories. I'm going to make an effort to change that this semester, but right now I'm asking for all of the tips that I can get, in order to (hopefully!) make this semester a successful one.
Any pointers, anybody?
Thanks in advance.

It is a distinct advantage if you are not religous, as the Hindu concept of 500 000 000 gods may conflict with one or two laws of chemistry.
Get a periodic coffee table, something Victorian or Edwardian is good.
Blow stuff up. Nothing like explosions to make chemistry popular.
Ensure your chemistry professor has a beard without a moustache. I don't know why. It just helps, ok.
Turn lead into gold.
Make your own gunpowder and use it against a pre-gunpowder historical re-enactment group.
Start muttering a lot, and rather than answer any question posed to you, simply pause, stare, and continue to do what you were doing. All the great chemists do this. Drink mercury.
Get your own chemistry set.
Make LSD.
Move nearer to a hospital.
Use sex to get through the course.
Cheat in exams.
Sabotage the lab work of others always in the form of boiling over green foam coming unendingly from a test tube, or a large flash smoke explosion that leaves blackened faces. Laugh loudly and evily claming responsibility and gaining the respect of your lab teacher.
Drop chemistry and take up beach studies.
Who would want to finish what they have said with the same thing everytime?
Worst case scenario is he ends up with a really nice meth lab.
Chem 212 is what class? General, organic, quantitative analysis? If it's general chemistry and you're having trouble, odds are you need to spend some time on your algebra skills. If it's organic, you need to spend a couple of hours a week sans computer, iPod, cell phone, or distractions of any kind studying your notes and working reactions on paper. Chemistry is fairly straightforward as long as you've got the basics down and you practice a lot.

--Bertrand Russell
...it's the second unit of general chemistry, the one just beyond the Chem course that everybody and his brother takes.
The weird part in all this is, I thought I understood algebra. Maybe it's the "practice a lot" part that I need to focus on. Thanks for weighing in!

...I'm not *that* much of a bad boy. Is "Drop chemistry and take up beach studies" your halfway-serious advice?
Though I have to admit...the thought of sabotaging everyone else's lab work sounds evilly fun...

Fuck... i dont even have to post any new ideas o_O... you guys pretty much have everying i would say, covered. I feel my job here is almost complete
