What topics will we have to know for Midterm 1?

Postby Christine Lin 1H » Sun Oct 10, 2021 11:56 pm

What is the last topic that will be taught before we take our first midterm?

Will it be the high school review + quantum?

Too early to specify.
About 5 days before each exam I will make an announcement on what that exam covers.

Lacking specifics, my TA informed me that if we generally look at the outline, we should know which areas to roughly study. Also, my TA said that the lecture right before the midterm will not be included in the midterm. Professor should also be sending out an email soon regarding the exam.

In preparation for the midterm, especially with one week left, I would suggest looking at the textbook problems outlined on the syllabus. I've heard that they really help with understanding the type of questions that would appear on his tests!

He announced in class today that the first midterm will be on everything we learned from the beginning of class up until 1 week before the midterm date. If you had lecture today and your midterm is Friday the 22nd, you have covered all the material that will be on the test.

Topics covered from week 0 to the last thing we learned in today's lecture (10/15/2021) will be covered in the midterm.

Hello, the midterm will cover everything from the beginning of class until today, so everything up to electron configurations, I believe. Hope this helps!

Hi? So from class, Professor Lavelle told us that the midterm will cover all material up to today's lecture which included electron configuration.

Material from week 0-week 3. The lecture from today (10/15) reviews all the topics we will need to know.

As others have stated, all material from Week 0-Week 3. A good "study guide" would be the Learning Outcomes on Professor Lavelle's Chem14A website. We covered Outline 1 and 2 for content, and on the actual pages of those links, there are things that you should be able to do. I will be using it as a guide/checklist of what I need to study and what I already know for the upcoming midterm. Also, I believe more information will be sent out regarding the midterm in the next couple of days prior to the midterm.

We will be tested on material from week 0 to the end of week 3. The specific topics should be within the outlines for Fundamental and The Quantum World. Hope this helps! :)

Like everyone's been saying, everything as of last Friday will be on the midterm. I believe Lavelle just sent out an email saying specifically everything covered through section 1E in the textbook.
