Selling !! 5th Edition used for Chem 14A/B. includes textbook AND Solutions MANUAL. (I personally did fine without a Model Kit until Chem 14C and then I got it online for 20 bucks). Avoid the Ackerman $200 bundle :). Contact: *************

Review: Lavelle gives you PLENTY of chances to get a good grade. One quiz score dropped. Tons of past exam material. Course is not very difficult in my opinion, but I took AP Chem. There are people taking this course who got 5s on the AP Chem, and then there's people who've never taken a chemistry course. For the former this course will be all review and they might not have to work as hard to get good grades; that's just how it is.

Class Advice:
* Do that homework so when cramming time comes you aren't teaching yourself everything. -.-
* AAP members: sign up for Peer Learning. It's free tutoring, don't be proud!
* Best way to study: Do as many practice problems as possible. Not stuff you know well to boost your false sense of security: Practice the hard ones, and make those mistakes ahead of time and not on the midterm/final.

$ Advice: For my fellow stingy peoples: Don't buy the course reader. It is a $45 compilation of useless lecture notes and incredibly useful past exams. Buy someone's used copy for those past exams or make a friend and study theirs together.
The course reader store will say you cannot buy just the quiz book, you have to buy the bundle. So, find a nice person, ask if you can photocopy their quiz book and save some bucks :D (My TA was fine with my homemade quiz book :)

14A is basically AP Chem but still review very hard because people here are smart as shit.

14B is kind of new material, same as above though.

Got a B for both classes (Aced the midterms, did slightly below the average for the final, so eh. Not great but not amazing either...) I'm not sure how his grading scheme works, seems a little mysterious to me. But the class for the most part is straight forward. I'd recommend the class.
