My favorite desserts are chocolate chip cookies and chocolate covered strawberries :)

I’d love to enroll in remote classes but I think UCLA wants to fully transfer to in-person

Desiree 3E

They Both Die at the End is a great read!!

Desiree 3E

I work about 30 hours a week and so far it’s been manageable because all of my classes are remote, but I know next quarter I’ll struggle a lot more since I’ll be commuting :(

Desiree 3E

Does anyone know when final grades will be released?

A salt is a chemical compound consisting of an ionic assembly of a positively charged cation and a negatively charged anion

Desiree 3E

Hi! I don't think Lavelle has announced how many questions will be on the final but I believe it'll be longer than the midterms

Desiree 3E

I like visiting Professor Lavelle's website and reviewing the learning outcomes

Desiree 3E

Attending office hours, UA sessions, and going over textbook problems will definitely help

Desiree 3E

The final will be cumulative

Desiree 3E

The final is worth 140 points

Desiree 3E

Yes! Replies count as well

Desiree 3E

They get counted weekly

Desiree 3E

Just lectures on Monday and Wednesday!

Desiree 3E

To recognize if an acid or base is strong/weak you determine the pH

Desiree 3E

Is the final going to have 30 questions?

Desiree 3E

A 50% overall grade is a C- for the course.

Desiree 3E

When is the final for this class?

Desiree 3E

I've heard several students say that Professor Lavelle doesn't curve. I might be wrong though!!

Desiree 3E

I was also a bit confused by the direction of the arrows :(

Desiree 3E

Hey! The final will encompass everything we've learned throughout the quarter including the topics on midterms 1 and 2.

Desiree 3E

Professor Lavelle advised us to attend our TA's office hours and ask for clarification on any problems there

Desiree 3E

Any calculator is fine, just be sure that your TA is able to see your workspace if you're taking the midterm online

Desiree 3E

It's on November 12!!

Desiree 3E

It's the same protocol! We take the exam at 3 on November 12. Also, make sure to complete the practice problem posted under the midterm 2 tab

Desiree 3E

I believe the formulas will be provided, similarly to how we were given a sheet with formulas for the first midterm

Desiree 3E

Greater electronegativity of the hydrogen bond acceptor will lead to an increase in hydrogen bond strength

Desiree 3E

Hey! So I like to this of it as ACID ACCEPTS since both terms start with "ac". The BENEVOLENT BASE donates its electrons (which is *generous*) so I think of it as "b" and 'b". That's usually what helps me but definitely feel free to use this mnemonic or try switching it up!...

Desiree 3E

It's because there are only two electrons in the same orbital

Desiree 3E

You should go to your TA's office hours or go to a UA drop-in session if you have additional questions.

Desiree 3E

Covalent bonds are stronger and require a lot of energy to break

Desiree 3E

Unfortunately, our participation credit won't appear until the end of the quarter

Desiree 3E

Fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen

Desiree 3E

It takes about a week for scores to be released after taking the exam!

Desiree 3E

Grades aren't curved

Desiree 3E

My friend who took this class a few quarters ago mentioned that scores are release almost a week after taking the midterm. Not sure if this still applies!!

Desiree 3E

I believe it'll only be based on the new material we've learned

Desiree 3E

I believe only the first two learning outcomes will on Midterm 1

Desiree 3E

A good mnemonic that I've heard for memorizing the EM Spectrum is "Ryan May I Visit Ur X-Girlfriend?" for Radio, Micro, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma. However, I think conceptually the only important part to know of the EM spectrum is that this goes in INCREASING frequency...

Desiree 3E

Since photons have no mass, its kinetic energy equals its total energy

Yes! The posts are due by 11:59

Desiree 3E

Hi! I usually take my dogs for walks or take a bath

Desiree 3E

Will extra credit be offered?

Desiree 3E

Khan Academy!!! I also like to use the app to review simple topics and solve problems

I'd like to know this too!

Desiree 3E

Step-up sessions and workshops are honestly a great method for tutoring. I recommend checking those out first since the TAs have an idea of what you need to know for exams. Have you attended? How often do you recommend going? Just for homework help? Here is a link to the step up sessions! You can g...

Hi! I was told that Dr. Lavelle provides them! Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Desiree 3E

Doing as many of the problems from the textbook so that you can be ready for any combination of given information and information you need to solve for. I have heard a lot of people mention this, but what do you do when you finish all those problems? Make sure you completely understand the problems...

Desiree 3E

How are you guys planning on studying for the upcoming midterm?

Desiree 3E

What topics will be covered in midterm 1?

Desiree 3E

I've read other posts regarding the grading scale for this class and someone mentioned that you need a raw score of 90% to get an A-, 94% for an A, and 97% for an A+. I'm not sure if that's changed, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Desiree 3E

Is attendance/participation for discussion mandatory?

Desiree 3E

Hello, I talked to a friend who took this class last quarter and she said that all we need to worry about every week is completing our Achieve homework and the five chemistry community posts since they count towards our grade. The rest is extra practice that we should work on when we have time :)

Desiree 3E

When do the step up sessions start and how do we access them?

Desiree 3E

Is the homework graded based on completion or accuracy?
