I definitely add breaks while studying and on Sunday, I took a longer break than usual to recharge and avoid feeling burnt out during the week

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm most looking forward to just being back on campus and finally being able to see people and hang out with my friends

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think it would be better if you can do a little bit everyday even if its only for 20 minutes a day. Good luck!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

You have to look at the ions. The conjugate acids of a strong base and the conjugate base of a strong acid both do not affect the pH. The conjugate base of a weak acid (anion) is basic, and vice versa for the conjugate acid of a weak base.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Chemical equilibrium was my favorite!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think the best oxidizing agents are the ones that are most likely to be reduced

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

The max is 50 points :)

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Thanks! I agree, doing textbook problems is really helpful!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Thanks! I agree, doing textbook problems is really helpful!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm taking BL now, and it would definitely be manageable with 14C.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm satisfied with my score; however, some of the conceptual questions threw me off a bit.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

As many have said already, I think OIL RIG is the best way to remember (Oxidation is losing, reduction is gaining).

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

For me, doing the textbook problems and attending UA sessions have been the most helpful!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Congrats everyone! Almost done with the quarter

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe he only teaches 14A and 14B

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Mine is pasta!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

For isolated systems, I'm pretty sure delta U is always 0.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Yes, it's only for gases

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I recommend writing out the units and then picking which gas constant works best with those units

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm planning on relaxing and catching up on tv :)

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe so

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Besides doing all the textbook questions, I've been going to UA step-up sessions/workshops regularly regardless of how comfortable I am with the material, and I find those really helpful!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe it is mainly everything after midterm 1

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm planning on watching some youtube videos and then to work through as many problems as I can

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm taking it currently, and it is a bit of work. With that being said, the material itself hasn't been that hard yet, and I've heard it's easier and less time consuming than in person

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'll definitely check some of these books out! At the moment, I'm reading Monster by Walter Dean Myers

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think it's helpful to keep track of units when doing problems, but from the homework it seems like .08.. one is the used for PV=nRT

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe 93+ is an A and 90-92% is an A-

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm expecting to hear from him by the end of this week

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I totally understand, it's so hard to find a good balance! For me, the best way is to come up with a routine and realistic goals of what I hope to accomplish every day academically. I also think it's helpful to find hobbies/non-school related things to work into your schedule, and those give you som...

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Yes definitely! Love this post

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm taking it right now, and so far it hasn't been too bad

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe so!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I've just been doing the ones that he sent in the email and am planning on waiting to do the rest once we cover the material

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe it is when the K value is less than 10^-3.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Some of my favs are Bryson Tiller, Brent Faiyaz, Summer Walker, Partynextdoor, NoCap, Roddy Ricch and Lil Baby

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe there is a list of strong acids, and everything that is not on that list is considered weak

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think the easiest way is to check your posts as I'm not sure how notifications work. You can get there by clicking on quicklinks and then your posts.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm pretty sure Kelvin

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm not sure, there may be part of outline 3 as well

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Our midterms are Friday of Week 4 and Week 7.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I tend to put concentrations in, especially if solving for the K value.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe it is on the exam schedule page and the syllabus

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'd say my comfort movies are Bend it Like Beckham and Love & Basketball

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think we need to convert to Kelvin for ideal gas law.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe for ideal gas law it should be in atm

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Last quarter, all the lectures were pre-recorded and uploaded to CCLE under the media tab, and discussions are not mandatory

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Last quarter they were only for the first midterm's content

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I found the UA sessions and the optional textbook problems to be the most helpful last quarter. Good luck this quarter!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe you have to access Sapling through CCLE from our course page

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I don't think we have to write them since we didn't go over it in lecture

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe so!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

It should be working now!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm not sure, but I'd assume they'd focus more on Acids and Bases

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Thank you so much!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe you have to make an appointment with your TA to go over the midterm

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm not sure for this class, but in my experience the newer material tends to be emphasized more than the old

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Classes end in week 10, and finals are in week 11; this class will likely be your first final since it's on a Sunday. Good luck on your first college finals!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think practice problems are really helpful! Also, I heard UA's will be doing final review sessions so I'm planning on attending at least a couple of those.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think it's going well so far; I'm just trying to stay motivated and study as we get closer to finals (can't believe the quarter's almost done!)

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe the class is curved based on the class averages

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm under the assumption that it's on the 13th; I'm sure we'll hear soon about it

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Midterm grades are out!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Don't stress, there's plenty of points left to earn! Learn from your mistakes and study hard for the final, and I'm sure you'll be just fine!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Midterm grades are out!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I don't think there's an official review session, but I believe some UA's were hosting review sessions during their workshop/step-up session

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Some of my favorite shows are Prison Break, Gilmore Girls, and Parks and Rec. I'm currently watching Money Heist on Netflix, and it's really good

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think the content is more conceptual. The only equation I can think of using is the one for formal charge

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I've understood to draw the arrow towards the atom with negative partial charge (the more electronegative element)

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

From what I understand, there are no exceptions

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I believe only Wednesday discussion are cancelled

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I would recommend going to office hours and seeing if your TA can review them with you.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I would monitor enrollment as it gets closer to your first pass and then decide

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

The UA workshops and textbook problems were really helpful for me!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I'm alright, just wishing we were back on campus!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think on Thursday!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I would focus on the last bullet points of outline 2 and outline 3 for now, until Dr. Lavelle specifies.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think the textbook problems and UA sessions are really helpful!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think someone said Thursday!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Yes, c is equal to the speed of light and is constant.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

It's probably the safest just to use the constant on our formula sheet.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Yes, that is correct!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

The midterm is during your discussion. As for the external webcam, it's up to your TA; mine is okay with us using our phones. It will be all multiple choice, and it is through CCLE but you must have respondus downloaded beforehand.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think the problems for the textbook will be really helpful for the midterm. However, there might be some conceptual questions based on lecture content that may not be in the textbook.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

You can look at the assessments for the modules on our course website. I personally find the assessments to be helpful

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

For me, I've been mainly been practicing as many problems I can. I've been focusing on doing the homework problems, assessments for each module, the textbook problems, and attending step up/workshop sessions whenever I have the time. I think the best way to stay on top of your work is to do a little...

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think we'll be given a periodic table and a sheet with all the constants.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

That's what I heard, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm wondering if we'll still be able to receive partial credit or not.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I think it is up to your TA; if they can see your work area through zoom proctoring, then you should be fine.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

As volume increases, the molarity will decrease and vice versa for when volume is decreased. However, the number of moles will stay the same.

I believe they are during your discussion section for weeks 4 and 7, so I'm assuming everyone is taking it at different times.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Hi! It just makes it easier to think about in terms of 100g, especially after calculating the mass percent composition.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I would assume we should round based off of significant figures. Here is a link from the website about the rules for significant figures https://lavelle.chem.ucla.edu/wp-conten ... OUT_SF.pdf

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

In the photoelectric experiment, electrons behave as particles because when the light intensity was increased, the electrons were not emitted. I'm not sure about the experiment regarding wave properties.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

They start today and are offered at least once a day!

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

On myucla, it says that the lectures are online-recorded, so the lectures are pre-recorded and asynchronous.

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

Does anyone know how long the free trial is?

Keeryth Sandhu 1H

I agree! The target example was really helpful in explaining that precision is more about consistency where accuracy is about correctness.
