Midterm 1

[JTieu_1L]

Are Outline 1 and Outline 2 going to be the only sections tested in Midterm 1?

[SelenaDahabreh1D]

I was wondering the same thing! I am assuming that Dr. Lavelle may include some thermochemistry on midterm 1 because we start that next week, but that is just a guess.

[vanessanguyen3I]

I think its content from week 1-week 3 so depending where we finish next week.

[Lisa Seidl 3H]

It seems that we are finishing outline 2 this week since he said we will be moving on from acids and bases so my guess is that outline 3 would be included too but I am not sure. Hopefully we will find out soon!

[VanessaZhu2L]

Last quarter, he sent an email before the midterm that told us which outlines were going to be on the test, so he will probably let us know soon. But I think parts of outline three might be included too since he said that we already finished outline 2

[Aanya Tanti 3C]

Since the Midterm is Week 4, Friday Jan 29 in class, I am assuming it will cover parts of outline 3 as well. I am sure Professor will send out an email closer to the date.

[Shalyn Kelly 3H]

Hi! I feel like this was mentioned somewhere, but as I cannot find it I'm sure we'll get an email closer to time. For now, my guess would be that perhaps some of outline 3 will be included. I believe we only have 4 more lectures (since Monday is a holiday, and the Friday of the test will have no lecture), so it'll depend on how far we get by then.

[Isabel Luu 1I]

Part of unit 3, which is on thermochemistry will likely be on the first midterm since we still have two weeks until the midterm. I think he will probably talk more about what will be on the midterm in lecture next week or send out an email when we get closer to the date.

I believe Dr. Lavelle might add some stuff from outline three as that will be covered in Week 3 Material.

[Sukhkiran Kaur 3I]

Since we're starting outline 3 in week 3 there will probably be content from there tested as well.

[Jasmine Yi 1G]

Judging off of our midterms from last quarter, I think it is possible that specific sections of outline 3 might be tested, but I'm sure we'll be told in advance.

[Lizbeth Garcia 1F]

Maybe it will be like last quarter, where, during one of his lectures, he'll inform us about where the cutoff is.

[Taylor Newville 1C]

Can someone who had Lavelle last quarter for 14A explain what his midterms are like?

[AustinMcBrideDis3L]

Can someone who had Lavelle last quarter for 14A explain what his midterms are like?

A lot of the questions are quite similar to the tougher textbook problems so definitely brush up on those!

[Joanne Yuh 3I]

Professor Lavelle will probably send us an email soon about Midterm 1. This is just my guess but I think all of Outline 3 might not be on the exam because I remember last quarter for Chem14A, we were tested on parts of an outline that we didn't finish before the Midterm 1 date.

[Lisa Wang 3B]

Like the others have said above, I also agree that outline 3 will be partially tested. I definitely think we will not be tested on outline 4.

[Nadya Higgins 3F]

My guess is that we will be tested on outlines 1, 2, and part of 3!

[Savana Maxfield 3F]

Since the first midterm in January 29th, I would assume outlines 1, 2 and 3 will be tested. Lavelle's midterms (at least from last quarter 14A) typically most resemble the textbook problems. I would highly recommend doing all of the included textbook exercises on the outlines to study for the midterm!

[Kaleb Tuliau 3E]

I believe on the syllabus it said that Midterm 1 will cover everything from week 1-3

[Jonathan Malau 1F]

I think it covers content from weeks 1 through 3, and so would include material from outlines 1,2 and - as others have mentioned - some from 3 (depending on where we finish by then).

[Meredith2E]

Pretty sure Lavelle will send out an email to clarify what we should focus on when reviewing (bless his soul).

[Anna Yang 1A]

On the syllabus it says that the midterm is on a Friday during class time. Is this true because for 14A last quarter, it was during our respective discussion sections?

[Aaina 2D]

Hi! Yes this is true. Midterms this quarter will be held during our class lecture time on Friday.

[Anna Yakura 2F]

Definitely outlines 1, 2, and probably part of 3 will be tested. Around a week prior to the exam he usually sends an email with clear cutoffs on what will be tested (this will probably be available as an announcement on his website too).

[Keeryth Sandhu 1H]

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