Try really hard to not think about it. What's done is done and you might as well use that energy for your other classes and new material for this class.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I'd say redo the outlines until you've mastered every problem. Try to go to as many UA sessions as possible especially during the week before finals because they generally have topic specific sessions which are nice for reviewing.

Sushiiii!!!

Testing at home is a struggle especially with a lot of people at home. I recommend cleaning your desk and making sure everyone in the house at least tries to stay quiet for the 50 minutes. Make sure you don't try to cram an hour before the test-- you know what you know and it will just do more harm ...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I'm in the same boat :( I know midterm 2 was much easier than midterm 1 but I do feel like I was much more prepared. I recommend constantly doing practice problems and going to the UA sessions. Instead on continuously doing the outlines, try to focus on the ones you miss to make sure you're efficien...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I'm not too sure that they will open up more spots. I think the chemistry department said no but keep an eye on coursicle becuase it will alert you once people drop!

Sachi Sengupta 2C · Re: When is Sapling HW due? It is due Week 8 (2/28) at 11:59 pm PST!!

It is due Week 8 (2/28) at 11:59 pm PST!!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I struggle with this a lot so I appreciate this thread a lot! Some nights you just gotta journal and put a face mask on. I also try to go outside at least once a day because it works wonders and staying inside all day all week is so easy to do nowadays.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I try to not do much studying an hour before the exam because that generally just increases my anxiety even more.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

LS 7A, Chem 14C, Chem 14BL, Cluster 80C

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I recommend attending UA sessions and trying to complete all the worksheets. Remember to focus on correcting your answers too because that is the only way you'll know how improve.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I'm super stressed about this midterm but I'm glad we have Monday off so that I can do practice all day and try to really understand thermo.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I feel ya! I get really overwhelmed and unmotivated at points. I really like making to do lists and adding small tasks. Remember to celebrate the small victories too!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Fahrenheit 451 and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (this one is a lot more serious and non fiction but very eye opening).

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The Buccaneers won!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I would recommend going to a lot of UA sessions, it is a great way to get the most amount of practice doing the problems and this quarter seems to be all about that.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I'm probably going to take it next quarter but I've considered taking it over this summer too. I'm not sure though

Sachi Sengupta 2C

If you're interested in student government I recommend applying for the internships at the USAC Offices of the External or Internal Vice President.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

He hasn't posted about it yet.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I'm not gonna lie, work plus clubs plus school is such a rough time. I'm STRUGGLING. Hopefully, you find some kind of comfort knowing there are other people in the same boat but I don't have much advice. I love my planner and can't live without it so I think time management is super important.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The homework due date has changed! " I have extended the Week 3 and 4 Assignment.
This Sapling assignment is now due midnight Sunday Week 5." yay!!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

He hasn't said anything yet but it will probably be in about a week. We will get an email about sometime next week.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The outlines are usually more like a review guide while the lectures cover the actual material. I would use the outline as more of a guide while you study for the exams so that you know you're covering all the material that will be tested.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

It usually takes about a week and he will always send an email about it the same day so you'll know the mean score and whatnot.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Q: What do you call a tooth in a glass of water?
A: One molar solution.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

This is probably super basic but SZA, Clairo, The Wallows, Harry Styles sometimes haha

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Stay on the safe side!! Do 5 posts per week by 11:59 pm PST on Sunday

Sachi Sengupta 2C

There is no reset button :(

Sachi Sengupta 2C

This class makes me super anxious too! I try to just take it one day at a time. Make sure you allot some time throughout the day to do something that relaxes you.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I love this!!!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I agree it is super overwhelming at times! Try to do the problems as we go through the unit then go over the problems you had trouble on before the midterm.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

It just depends. I think the pattern this quarter is the sapling is due a week later that when we learn the material.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

This is probably an unhealthy way of coping but I find staying extremely busy with classes, clubs, and work is overwhelming but keeps my motivation consistent

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I generally do an at home workout and then go for a walk or hike!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

All UAs are different. Some of them will post answers on chem community, others will send them to you if you email them, and then sometimes they just can't send any answers because of the content. You just have to ask them during the session.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The lectures are just like 14a where its recorded and linked under media resources on CCLE. The biggest difference between the two class logistic wise is that midterms are administered during lecture time.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Your code will be shipped to you. Mine took about a week to arrive so you might want to start the free trial if you wanted access to the textbook or wanted a head start of the homework.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Hi! You get access to the solutions with Sapling. They are on the homepage of the 14b Sapling page and its a link called Atkins_7e_SSM_Fundamentals_1-7_9

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Hi! When I first ordered mine it took about 1.5 weeks so I would probably get the free trial until then.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I agree. I had to guess on my last question and definitely didn't have time to go back and check luckily Dr. Lavelle is giving 10 extra points so hopefully that will balance things out.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I've been having a rough time staying at home for freshman year especially since there was so much anticipation for college as highschoolers. My new years resolution is to find happiness is smaller things!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Wednesday! But make sure to still watch the Friday lecture because it is going to be on final review.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Only some of them will be from the textbook but doing all of the outlines questions is good review for the final in general

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I don't think his office hour review sessions will be recorded but the lecture on friday is final review and that will be recorded

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I don't think we join our TAs zoom instead we'll be given a zoom link closer to the midterm and two proctors will be there.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Only some of the questions will be from the textbook

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I think it depends on your TA because I heard some of them will just check if you have 50 at the end of the quarter but I'd recommend consistently doing 5 posts every week unless you specifically told by your TA.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I believe Lavelle is still deciding on the grading scale but to be on the safe side I'd just keep in mind the traditional UC grading of A-, A, A+

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I think 14B's concepts are a bit more difficult and Dr. Lavelle mentioned it will be asynchronous but we shouldn't have lecture conflicts since we might take exams during that time so it might have longer exams.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The final covers all the material we've learned. My TA mentioned that some outlines are obviously longer than others so there might be more questions on those concepts.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Monday 3-4pm PST Chemistry Community Q&A and discussion
Wednesday 5-6pm PST previous years exam Q&A
Friday's lecture review Q&A from this quarter’s MT1 and MT2

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I haven't been to any step up sessions yet but I'm starting to struggle more in this class so I'm definitely going to check them out. During the UA sessions we generally get a worksheet and have time to complete it then the UA will work through the problems. Personally, I find them extremely helpful...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

All of the outlines will be covered but we haven't started on the sixth one just yet.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Lavelle mentioned that we shouldn't overlap during lecture times since we may take exams during that time. I wasn't aware of this before since my pass for enrollment was a bit earlier but keep in mind that it's only two sections so if it overlaps then you'll just have to talk to the TA of the other ...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I don't think it's actually extra credit but rather extra practice.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Hm I'm pretty sure the grading scale is A-, A, A+. An A- is 90-93, A is 94-96, A+ 97-100 but I may be wrong.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I would call out green!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I thought this midterm was significantly harder than the first one so I was pretty bummed after taking the exam. Don't worry about it too much because whatever happened has already happened--just focus on the final and future concepts.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I thought this midterm was significantly more difficult than the first one so I was pretty bummed out after finishing it. Overall, I just had to get out of the dramatic mentality that the world would end if I did poorly on the exam. I hung out with my friends (social distancing of course) and just t...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I feel the same way in fact after I ended the zoom call I had a nice cry. I think we just need to realize that it is not the end of the world and there's just room for improvement!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The final is cumulative!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I really enjoy hiking! I live in Arizona so it's the perfect temperature right now.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I generally work through the sapling as we go through lectures then when we get closer to the midterm I do the textbook questions. I have found that the workshops are extremely helpful too and if you can't attend I would recommend just going through the worksheets.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

The lectures up until 11/11 I believe. The last 8 bullets of outline 2 and all of outline 3.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I took chemistry freshman year and then APChem sophomore so I don't remember everything super well. I would recommend going to workshops or step up sessions. The organic chemistry tutor on youtube reviews basically the same thing we do so it's nice to watch some videos just to review after watching ...

For MT 1, I watched all the audiovisual modules, lectures, and did the sapling. Honestly I felt like that could have been enough but I also did the textbook problems and went to a lot of the UA workshops. Overall, all of this combined made me feel super confident on the exam and I was pleased with m...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I have test anxiety and what i generally do is never study an hour before the test (some people say even 10 minutes) it just stresses me out even more. During that time, relax and take deep breaths--maybe go on a walk. You should accept the fact that you know what you know and scrambling before an e...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Hi! I'm not sure where you're from so it might be too cold but I love to study outside. During the pandemic it's vital to go outside and get some fresh air and I find that it stimulates my brain a lot more too.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I don't think we have discussion section that day but I would stay on the look out for an email.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I usually either watch Netflix or make tiktoks.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I watch wayyy too many shows. My top few are New Girl, The Politician, Psych, and Stranger Things.

Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. That is why this question in involving the concept. It is basically asking for increasing electron affinity.

Two chemists go into a restaurant.
The first one says "I think I'll have an H2O."
The second one says "I think I'll have an H2O too" -- and he died.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

N1 is basically the final energy level and N2 is the initial energy level. During a UA session, they even suggested writing nf and ni instead so that its less confusing. Hope this helped!

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I would understand the general premise of each one and what they proved. The module post assessment questions generally cover that.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I know CCLE is down right now so if you logged into Sapling via that maybe it didn't load completely or something. I downloaded the answer key pdf beforehand so if you need it I can possible email it to you.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

It depends on what the question is asking! Sometimes a question will ask what is the limiting reactant and then a follow up of how many moles or the mass of product produced. Hope this helps!

Helium walks into a bar,
The bar tender says "We don't serve noble gasses in here."
Helium doesn't react.

I am a current student and I have found all of Dr. Lavelle's resources on his website are helpful. But since lectures are prerecorded, I really find the UA workshops the most helpful once I've completed the audio visual topics and the lectures. The UA sessions also include unique workshops so you ca...

You can find plenty on amazon for cheap but be sure to look carefully through the reviews especially the lower ones. I also think there are a lot with 5-10% coupons on amazon.

Hi! I got an iPad for college and I had a lot of trouble deciding if I wanted to invest that much money. I ended up buying one and an apple pencil and really love using both. I haven't had too much trouble for headaches and eye strain but I recommend blue light glasses. I think one of the best price...

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I think it is just a laptop, an external camera, the responds software, and a calculator.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

I would recommend doing the audio visual topics and textbook questions if haven't already. I also think the UA workshop sessions are extremely helpful and there's a new worksheet for each UA so you can go to a bunch of sessions each week.

Sachi Sengupta 2C

Hi! I felt like I was still struggling with limiting reactants even after the audio visual section so I watched this and it helped!

Hi! You also should've recently received an email from your TA with a download link to the program Respondus which is a locked browser we will use for quizzes and midterms. Hi! I enrolled in the class on last Thursday and I didn't see that email. When's the email sent? Thank you! The email was sent...

You're completely right! We use 100g for simplicity since we are usually given the mass percent composition and that way it an easy conversion from percent to grams of the element.
