Thank you professor Lavelle for a wonderful quarter! I do hope that you keep safe! thanks for making this quarter fun and memorable!

[jia207]

Thank you for making this quarter possible during these interesting times. As much as it is difficult for students, I know it must be difficult for professors as well. I appreciate all the hard work you put in to making things work. Thank you.

[Aliya 1H]

Thank you Dr. Lavelle! You were my favorite professor this quarter and I'm so excited for 14B (and I was never this excited about chemistry before this class). I hope you have a great break!

[Gina Spagarino 3G]

Dr. Lavelle,
Thank you for taking the time to prepare the many hours of resources throughout this quarter, and I am glad you are the instructor for 14B next quarter. I really appreciate you adding the 10 points and considering all the added difficulties due to the online format. I hope you have a lovely break and I look forward to the little music intros in your 14B lectures!

[Katelyn_Ortega_1D]

Thank you Dr. LaVelle! I appreciate the time and energy you put in so people can get extra help no matter their time schedule. With my busy life, I really utilized it

[Simer_Shera_2D]

Professor Lavelle,
Even though we didn't get to have live lectures, I appreciate the effort you put into each class and your attempt to simulate the lecture hall using Bruincast. And let's not forget about the amount of office hours and learning sessions you arranged to fit just about anyone's schedule! I think Chem 14A was the most impactful course of my first quarter as a freshmen. Chem 14A is where I learned to develop my study habits and challenge myself beyond basic memorization. Thank you for EVERYTHING and see you in 14B (even though you can't see us :( ).

[FrancescaHawkins2H]

Professor Lavelle,
This has been one of the few classes that I have taken at UCLA, even including in-person classes, that has provided the amount of support and extra time going over topics outside of class. All of the resources put in place to help us succeed, including the many review hours and TA/UA sessions are very much appreciated. Thank you for your dedication to your students on this class and I look forward to taking Chem 14B with you next quarter.

[Jordi M 2I]

Thank you Dr. Lavelle for making this course very well adapted for online learning! The review sessions and Chemistry community were of great help! I look forward to taking Chem 14B.

[Chem_Mod]

Many, many thanks for all your positive comments which are very much appreciated, supportive, and encouraging to continue with my educational focus.

Dear Dr. Lavelle,
Thank you so much for all your help this quarter with chem 14A! All the resources and time you put into this class and into helping us was so useful and let me excel in chem! I’m looking forward to taking chem 14b with you and hopeful for a great winter quarter!!

[Tam Nguyen 2B]

Thank you to Dr. Lavelle for providing an easygoing atmosphere for learning chemistry. I'm not really all that enthusiastic about chemistry myself, but I'm glad you didn't make chemistry a taxing experience to learn. I am especially grateful to the music and the puns you would scatter in your presentations.

[Mansi Solanki 3A]

Thank you Dr. Lavelle for making Chemistry something to look forward to over the past few weeks during my first quarter in college! I feel like the atmosphere that was created made me happy to learn despite not having in-person classes and I definitely feel like we created a community that could ask questions and learn without feeling lost.

[Laura 3l]

Thank you for setting up the many hours of review and study sessions that are SUPER helpful throughout the quarter, please keep doing this! :)

[Zainab Jamali 1H]

Thank you so much for this quarter Dr. Lavelle!! Your lectures were engaging and I really wish I could have taken your class in person! Nonetheless, I am really looking forward to next quarter in 14B! I hope you stay safe and enjoy the holidays :)

[Joanne Yuh 3I]

Hi Professor Lavelle,

Thank you so much for this quarter! We're lucky to have a professor who's passionate about his course and tries his best to help students understand the material. Especially with everything online, I really appreciate you arranging review sessions and other virtual interactions for communication and help. See you next quarter in Chemistry 14B!

Thank you,
Joanne Yuh

[305405193]

Honestly, I had no experience in chemistry since high school ended and even then the education in high school chemistry was not that great so providing many tutoring hours and step up sessions was very helpful. I am very grateful to have a lot more background and introduction to chemistry now because of you. I really appreciate how many resources you had laid out for us even during a pandemic.

[705383815]

Dear Doctor Lavelle:

Thank you, Doctor Lavelle!

[Nancy Yao]

Dear Prof. Lavelle,

Thank you for explaining the concepts so well. You did a great job talking about the links to further knowledge in physiology, pharmacology, medicine, etc. Also, thank you for your support during this time of difficulties.

Nancy

[LexyDenaburg_3A]

Thank you Dr. Lavelle!!! You make learning chemistry so much fun and you're doing such an amazing job teaching the material. Thanks for a great quarter and excited for the next one with you!!

[David Facio 1K]

I wanted to start off by saying this course was frightening for me at the beginning, considering I did not remember much from high school chem. The structure for this class was everything I needed, not only to review, but also to assimilate and appreciate the limitless amount of incoming knowledge from this course. I can say without a doubt, this has been my absolute most challenging class this quarter, but I am glad I was able to learn from one of the best Professors at UCLA. You've made approaching chemistry fun! Never a dull moment! THANK YOU DR. LAVELLE! <3

[Mauricio Maravilla 3C]

Thanks Dr. Lavelle!

[Joanna Huang]

Hi Dr. Lavelle!! Thank you for the fun chem music and chem jokes at the end of each lecture :)) I really appreciated the fact that you tried to record the lectures in the lecture hall to let us experience what it would be like at school. Thank you so much for being our teacher!!

[305614361]

Hi, Dr. Lavelle
I wanted to say thank you for a good quarter of learning great chemistry. Thank you for helping us in anyway could and I can't wait to take 14b with you next quarter.

[Sebastian2I]

Dear Dr. Lavelle,
I would like to thank you for a truly amazing quarter and for providing me with an excellent introduction to science at a collegiate level. My high school did not have any AP, IB, or Honors Chem courses, so exploring concepts and phenomena is as great of detail as we did was an utterly fascinating experience. I look forward to taking 14B with you next quarter and plan to pursue a deeper understanding of the world around me and many of the chemical processes upon which I depend in the process, in addition to preparing myself for a career. Please keep up the outstanding work!

[David He]

In the end of this quarter I want to say thank you to Dr. Lavelle again. Thanks for all your dedications in making chemistry such a great subject to learn

[David He]

At this point I also want to say thank you to all TAs in this class, thank you all for providing more than 100 hours of study opportunity in each week !

[Chem_Mod]

Thank You All

In reading the above I learnt something new: <3

Looking forward to another supportive, inclusive, informative quarter in 2021.

Well Done All :-)

[Charisma Arreola 2F]

Dr. Lavelle,

Thank you for all the extra work you have put in for us to understand chemistry. You have provided generous opportunities for growth.

[Kathrine_Samia_1A]

8 weeks in Chem 14B class and I can safely say Dr. Lavelle has been one of the best professors I've had so far. Thank you for teaching the course to us so well Dr. Lavelle!
