i think everything will be out by saturday, hopefully sooner!

Micaela Estavillo

its def hard to stay motivated but i try to stay motivated by writing out my plans for the future and how im going to get there step by step, it helps me put my thoughts on paper and better understand my thinking

Micaela Estavillo

No curve, but a C- is 50% i believe

Micaela Estavillo

i think you are okay, they just need to update the points, im sure they will update everything by the end of the week!

Micaela Estavillo

It best to reread your notes and redo practice problems in the textbook and worksheets! Also finding a study buddy to bounce off of helps a lot too!

Micaela Estavillo

I'm doing pretty well. I'm just so happy it's finally the end of the quarter and i could rest. It's been so stressful but now im relieved! I hope everyone else is doing good and happy holidays yall!

Micaela Estavillo

For next quarter im going to focus more energy on worksheets and reading the textbooks, i did textbook problems a lot and they really helped me better understand the content!

Micaela Estavillo

The final should be the same structure as the midterms.

Micaela Estavillo

Its best to just go over textbook problems, attend UA, and work on midterms for now, i believe there are some old exams on the google chem folder

Micaela Estavillo

all we know officially is that 50% is passing (C-) and thats from the syllabus. but we can assume an A is 93+ and and A- is 90-92

Micaela Estavillo

I usually add up all the points we have completed thus far and divide by all possible point thus far.

Micaela Estavillo

Thank you Dr. Lavelle for everything you have taught us, especially during these times. I'm grateful for all the helpful sources you provided us and the tutoring sessions you offered. I hope you have a great winter break and happy holidays!!

Micaela Estavillo

the questions are going to be distributed from all chapters we covered

Micaela Estavillo

Yes it would be considered bent.

Micaela Estavillo

I find doing practice problems in the textbook and going over practive exams the most effective and helpful!

Micaela Estavillo

yeah its all the material from the very beginning to the end

Micaela Estavillo

Happy late thanksgiving! My family and I usually have a traditional thanksgiving meal each year and spend time with one another.

Micaela Estavillo

The grading might vary from TA to TA

Micaela Estavillo

You can review them with your TA, plus they can go over any problems you might have!

Micaela Estavillo

I de-stress by literally sleeping or relaxing on my phone. It's the most helpful for me to do absolutely nothing after exams.

Micaela Estavillo

just to be safe do 5, because at the end of the quarter you should have 50.

Micaela Estavillo

Atomic radius:
Decrease across
Increase down
Electron Affinity, Ionization Energy, and Electronegativity:
Increase across
Decrease down

Micaela Estavillo

Yes London dipersion is alwasys present!!

Micaela Estavillo

I didn't do so good on the first midterm but I'm feeling better about this one so hopefully things go well! And don't worry, you still have the final to bring up your grade. As long as your pass that what matters!

Micaela Estavillo

I've heard as long as you do 50 by the end of the quarter you should be good! Ask your TA just to double check!

Micaela Estavillo

yeah its the last 8 points of outline 2 and all of outline 3

Micaela Estavillo

Yeah, London dispersion and Van Der Waals are interchangeable. I'm sure you don't need to know the distinction for the midterm

Micaela Estavillo · Re: Homework due date i believe it's sunday 11:59pm

i believe it's sunday 11:59pm

Micaela Estavillo

i hope everyone does really well, you got this!! :)

Micaela Estavillo

outline 3 and the last 8 points of outline 2

Micaela Estavillo

I also recommend breaking bad and the walking dead!

Micaela Estavillo

I think its best to take a series at a time like maybe chem 1st year and bio series second year

Micaela Estavillo

I think the best thing to do is to go to step-up sessions and do practice problems on a set regular basis. Also always clarify any concern you may have!

Micaela Estavillo

I think it will be the same for sure, maybe some fill-in blanks

Micaela Estavillo

If you like spooky shows I recommend the Haunting of Hill House!! 10/10

Micaela Estavillo

H2O is water and H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. What is H2O4?
Drinking.

Micaela Estavillo

Why do chemists like nitrates so much?
They're cheaper than day rates.

Micaela Estavillo

I think it's better to take 14BL after 14B, maybe take it with 14C.

Micaela Estavillo

4s is filled first!

Micaela Estavillo

I was told it should be by the end of this week! They have to go through everyones exams individually i believe.

Micaela Estavillo

Correct, if its just 320 then there are only 2 sig figs in this case. If it was 320.0 it would be 3 sig figs.

Micaela Estavillo

Thank you this helped a lot!

Micaela Estavillo

I think you need to pay attention to sig figs after each calucation.

Micaela Estavillo

I'm going to be doing a lot of practice problems to prepare for the midterm.

Micaela Estavillo

You can use your phone, its better and free!

Micaela Estavillo

Yeah all multiple choice

Micaela Estavillo

I say look up 'Chem 14A midterm review' on quizlet, there are a few good ones there you can choose from!

Micaela Estavillo

The wavelength & the frequency of the 100 photons are the same as the single-photon since the pulse of light contains 100 times the single-photon. This means for the pulse of light...
the wavelength is λ
the frequency is ν
the energy is 100E (100 times the E of the single photon)

Micaela Estavillo

Not sure, but it's safe to know. Ask your TA for extra clarification!

Micaela Estavillo

Yeah, you can use your phone as a webcam.

Micaela Estavillo

I don't think you have to memorize the conversion factors, I'm sure you can find a conversion factor sheet on the Chem 14A website!

Micaela Estavillo

Wait, are all these jokes too basic for you? Because I see no reaction.

Micaela Estavillo

What did one charged atom say to the other? I got my ion you!

Micaela Estavillo

I think sig figs are important because it deals with the precision of the numerical answer. It's important to estimate the final result so this is where sig figs come into play. Plus, dealing with a bunch of decimal places can be complicated the further you get into the problem.

Micaela Estavillo

There's a class groupme for this class, do you have that one?
