CHEMISTRY COMMUNITY

Mariah Disc 2C

I enjoy fundamentals because that is what I am most confident in hahah.

Mariah Disc 2C

I simply just try not to dwell on it and keep it out of my mind. Worrying will not have any effect on your score

Mariah Disc 2C

I had a poor enrollment time and did not get into a chem class :(

Mariah Disc 2C

I feel as though it would be less stressful to maybe just do around 30 minutes a day in the future :)

Mariah Disc 2C

Lavelle does not teach 14 C.

Mariah Disc 2C

It takes awhile for the grades to adjust in the gradebook but if after a few days it doesn't change I would email your TA.

Mariah Disc 2C

Don't study right up until the test it will just stress you out!

Mariah Disc 2C

I believe that the second page of the outline will be covered!

Mariah Disc 2C

Take the sum of the individual orders.

Mariah Disc 2C

Taking a break to do things that you enjoy really helps with motivation I feel!

Mariah Disc 2C

I am also just starting it next quarter! This was so helpful!

Mariah Disc 2C

I would continue to do them just in case!

Mariah Disc 2C

It is the opposite !

Mariah Disc 2C

I found it very similar to the midterms, it is just about double the length. Textbook questions help so much.

Mariah Disc 2C

Aww I love this idea! Will definitely be checking out the playlist.

Mariah Disc 2C

So far all of the tests have taken about a week to be graded.

Mariah Disc 2C

Yes it would just be 25 degrees.

Mariah Disc 2C

Yes, I am assuming we are using them interchangeably.

Mariah Disc 2C

Lately I have been craving poke so much!

Mariah Disc 2C

Ultimately, completing the textbook problems until you really understand them helps the most.

Mariah Disc 2C

I think I will be taking it next quarter!

Mariah Disc 2C

I love the Fosters!

Mariah Disc 2C

The final did seem a lot harder to me last quarter. It was longer and I felt more pressed for time.

Mariah Disc 2C

Either can be used it just depends on the equations.

Mariah Disc 2C

It is not I would memorize it!

Mariah Disc 2C

I feel the exact same but we just have to keep our heads up and do our best!

Mariah Disc 2C

The textbook questions really are the best help!

Mariah Disc 2C

It's hard when in a rush but I just would double check entries!

Mariah Disc 2C

If it is on both sides they cancel out!

Mariah Disc 2C

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is a really good book!

Mariah Disc 2C

I agree that memorizing them honestly is just the most effective way to go about this.

Mariah Disc 2C

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Mariah Disc 2C

I totally agree! Doing the textbook problems definitely made me feel more prepared in taking the exam!

Mariah Disc 2C

Personally I just am hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

Mariah Disc 2C

Love this thread! I treated myself with some ice cream!

Mariah Disc 2C

It is only ignored if it is a liquid.

Mariah Disc 2C

It depends on which way the reaction is going! If you have an initial concentration in the reactants the -x goes there and the +x goes with the product(s).

Mariah Disc 2C

I honestly just recommend memorizing the list!

Mariah Disc 2C

You can assume x is insignificant when the concentration is less than 1.0x10^-3! This can also be done by using the assumption and calculating for x and if the final x is less than 5% of the initial concentration then you assumed correct.

Mariah Disc 2C

This will be true with the problems that we are focusing on in class!

Mariah Disc 2C

Last quarter we were allowed to use any calculator and I haven't heard that that has changed.

Mariah Disc 2C

I believe in lecture that Lavelle said that they are close enough that we could just use them interchangeably for this course.

Mariah Disc 2C

I definitely recommend doing textbook practice problems!

Mariah Disc 2C

Once they are updated they will just be in the grades tab on CCLE!

Mariah Disc 2C

Depending on the TA there is some leniency so I would definitely catch up on the ones you missed in an attempt to get the points and then just remain diligent on 5 posts per week for the rest of the quarter.

Mariah Disc 2C

Correct temperature is the only thing that changes K

Mariah Disc 2C

Technically it is based off of 5 posts per week but some TA's just grade the total at the end/allow for late posts.

Mariah Disc 2C

My go-to movie is always Shrek 2 for almost no reason at all. And then my comfort Netflix show is either Criminal Minds or Glee!

Mariah Disc 2C

It is not due this Sunday!! Next week the 17th :)

Mariah Disc 2C

Sapling is mandatory and always will be due. However, Lavelle provides additional textbook problems that help for tests in the syllabus.

Mariah Disc 2C

I believe it really is just 250/500 points is passing.

Mariah Disc 2C

No way you're the best!

Mariah Disc 2C

I'm excited to go home and support the local businesses in my small town. I miss our pizza so much! Other than that just sleep and avoid everyone I went to high school with lol.

Mariah Disc 2C

I would expect just sometime over winter break. Hopefully it won't be a sad Christmas present for me :')

Mariah Disc 2C

There isn't a curve but I heard he adjusts grades at the end of the quarter based on the class average.

Mariah Disc 2C

The total is out of 500 and the breakdown is on the syllabus! As of right now I would use a straight scale to calculate your grade and I heard he adjusts it at the end of the quarter based on the class average.

Mariah Disc 2C

I feel as though my phone tends to be my biggest distraction so putting that away would be beneficial.

Mariah Disc 2C

It is due Sunday at 11:59.

Mariah Disc 2C

Has anyone figured out what it says yet haha

Mariah Disc 2C

Happy Thanksgiving! My family just gathers for dinner and usually goes riding and shooting.

Mariah Disc 2C

I am so glad I stumbled upon this old question as I was struggling with this topic as well! Thank you :)

Mariah Disc 2C

40. has 2 sig figs while 40 only has one.

Mariah Disc 2C

For the final I am going to try and prepare as early as possible to alleviate stress from cramming.

Mariah Disc 2C

Thank you Lavelle! I feel as though you have been very understanding and generous this quarter and it is greatly appreciated! :)))

Mariah Disc 2C

For right now you can use a straight scale to predict your grade and if the class average is low your grade will only improve at the end of the quarter.

Mariah Disc 2C

I am personally not taking these at the same time because I feel as though it would be overwhelming. However, if you have an easier schedule this quarter I would definitely consider it.

Mariah Disc 2C

I really like to watch criminal minds! It is on Netflix still :)

Mariah Disc 2C

Just go to your study list on my ucla!

Mariah Disc 2C

Because there are more questions on this midterm will we have more than the 50 minutes that we had last time?

Mariah Disc 2C

It is still going to be multiple choice! It will just be longer!

Mariah Disc 2C

One way to determine this is to draw out the Lewis structure. If the octets are not complete it is an acid.

Mariah Disc 2C

I would assume that we are expected to draw the structure with the lowest formal change.

Mariah Disc 2C

Please include me in a virtual study group! :)

Mariah Disc 2C

I feel as though studying in the minutes before a test only heightens anxiety, so try to just avoid that, relax, and be confident in what you know.

Mariah Disc 2C

Yes there are higher subshells but Lavelle stated that they are beyond the scope this course so we don't have to worry about them.

Mariah Disc 2C

I am so disappointed in myself after that test too :( We'll get 'em next time guys!

Mariah Disc 2C

I like to make an iced coffee and watch tiktok.

Mariah Disc 2C

I find the audio-visual modules very helpful in explaining the topics. I also feel as though doing a lot of practice problems is the most efficient way to apply your knowledge.

Mariah Disc 2C

How exactly does the partial credit for the midterm work?

Mariah Disc 2C

I think that doing as many practice problems as you can really helps to apply what you've learned!

Mariah Disc 2C

You can attend anyone's office hours!

Mariah Disc 2C

I am utilizing the textbook problems and will be watching the modules!

Mariah Disc 2C

What materials are we allowed to utilize while taking the midterm (i.e. periodic table, calc, cheat sheet)?

Mariah Disc 2C

Lavelle mentioned in one of the lectures that we would not have to worry about black body radiation.

Mariah Disc 2C

Hi! They want us to have an external webcam in order to see our workspace while we are testing. My TA said a cell phone connected to zoom would be sufficient!

Mariah Disc 2C

Does anyone know if there will be a version of Respondus for Chromebooks available soon?

Mariah Disc 2C

Hi! Can someone please clarify exactly what material will be on the midterm? Thanks!

Mariah Disc 2C

Hi! My TA said that we will likely just be able to use our phones to log in to zoom and direct them at our workspace.

Mariah Disc 2C

Hi! Lavelle emailed instructions on how to obtain a free trial of Sapling and access to the textbook questions. You will need to purchase your own copy from the UCLA store, however, they are very overloaded right now and the code may take a while to ship. I know some people have emailed them and got...

Mariah Disc 2C

To the follow-up question: Yes the discussion sessions are where exams will be taken.
As for whether or not the weekly discussions are mandatory, it does not seem so.

Mariah Disc 2C

While doing every question is definitely not required, it would only benefit you by preparing you for the test. However, if time is an issue I would focus on doing problems on the topics that you struggle on the most.

Mariah Disc 2C

The number of sig figs in your answer should reflect the least precise value given in the problem. Hope this helps

Mariah Disc 2C

Personally, I prefer to use the most exact values for calculations and then round based off of sig figs when I reach my solution.

Mariah Disc 2C

In general, I was told that it is best to go with the least amount of sig figs in the problem. It does however depend on what operations you are using throughout the problem.

Mariah Disc 2C

I believe Lavelle suggested to start with whatever compound there is less of first!

Mariah Disc 2C

Personally, I do not round while making calculations to make my answer as accurate as possible. Then in my answer, I rely on sig figs to determine what place I round to.
