Hello, everyone. I'm considering attending one of the Alamo Colleges and obviously, I'll have to fulfill my science requirements. I'm not exactly a Chem whiz, so I'm kind of freaking out about selecting the right teacher. Can anyone suggest a teacher who's approachable and makes the subject manageable?
It's great you're being proactive about selecting your college professors, recognizing the ways different teaching styles could impact your learning. Professors, especially in the sciences, can significantly vary in teaching style. While I can't exactly suggest a specific teacher because this could change over time, I would recommend checking out RateMyProfessors.
RateMyProfessors is a trusted tool used by students to leave and read reviews about their professors' teaching styles, their classes' difficulty levels, and more. Remember, though, that experiences can be subjective. A professor that one student found difficult, another student might find approachable. Use your best judgment and take into account what learning style you know works best for you.
However, it's also important that you adopt a mindset open to the challenges you'll face as you navigate through college. If you work hard and reach out when you need help, you'll be able to overcome the obstacles that come your way - even with subjects you find difficult like chemistry.
Additionally, consider using the resources available to you as a student. Most colleges, including Alamo Colleges, offer tutoring services and study groups to help students succeed. Utilizing these resources can help ensure you get your science requirements completed effectively.
Best of luck with your chemistry course and your time at Alamo Colleges!
