9 | 2/12 | 101 Repeat | Students who are repeating CHEM 101 this semester | Repeating CHEM 101 | Repeating a course may bring about some frustration and discouragement at times. I want to make sure you know that you are not alone in this journey. Many students face this situation for a wide range of circumstances and rise to overcome it with hard work and perseverance. I'm proud of you for taking another chance to succeed and I am here to support you along the way. Please take advantage of the available resources that can help you improve, such as tutoring, office hours, study groups, and online materials. Do not hesitate to ask for help when you need it. I also recommend taking a look at your learning strategies and approach to the course. I have found that other students repeating the course have benefitted from treating each unit as if they had never seen it before to ensure they did not overlook anything. Of course, it is best practice in any course to avoid procrastination, distraction, and skipping assignments. Focus on your goals and the reasons why you chose this course. I believe in you and your potential and know you can do this. I look forward to seeing your progress and achievements! Sincerely, Dr. Bass | sent | 2/12 | ||||||||||||||||||||
