This discussion addresses effective learning practices for chemistry, general chemistry in particular. The approaches are appropriate for any physical science. The strategy is to master the subject as a means to achieving the short term goal of good grades, but more importantly, the long goals of applying the concepts and techniques in a variety of practical contexts well beyond the final examination. We discuss common approaches that do not work and lead to frustration and then suggest strategies that are both effective and satisfying.
