Selling lab coat (medium) + goggles
And chemistry experiments for life science majors 4th edition by Russell and Pang
btw they're changing all the labs, you might waste your money buying old labs.

Ong he was worth how much people were hating on him. I felt bad at first because he seems like he actually cares about what he's doing to an extent, but he has such an unclear teaching style. His slides have typos, incorrect answers that make you question whether you're supposed to listen to him or Chat (or sometimes neither), and make things overly complicated. His midterm was exactly like his practice tests, but his final was ridiculously difficult and most people stayed the entire time (which, imo, is unusual for a lab class. He just actually sucks at teaching and yet cares about the most random things — he got on someone's ass for numbering two variables in a different order than he usually assigns them and told them he'd mark them off which makes NO SENSE considering it makes ZERO difference in the actual problem. That aside, the attendance/participation requirement was easy — you sign up once to do one practice problem to get credit. Definitely a last resort professor to get otherwise.
Legit could not understand a word this guy said the whole entire time. I recommend coming to lecture, grabbing the notes and ditching. If you had AP Chem experience and you did well in Chem 20B you’ll be fine. The final is a little harder than I was expecting though - so you do need to study for that.
Henary tries to engage the class in his lectures, but honestly, his accent is somewhat hard to understand (you really have to pay attention to pick up on what he's saying). To make up for that though, his lecture slides pretty much give you what you need to know for the midterm/final. He does however tell you some things in lecture that are not on the slides, so be sure to attend lecture to pick up on those things (they definitely show up on the exams!).
The labs themselves are alright, but they were kind of long and tedious (lab twice a week for 3 hrs each). The soil project at the end of the quarter was pretty daunting at first, but as long as you explain what you did in your lab report, you should do pretty well on it (my TA supposedly gave most groups A's on their reports). Overall, it wasn't a bad class - just a lot of tedious work.
Henary's reputation isn't great, but he's actually a pretty good professor. He truly cares about students learning and he always wants more people to come to his office hours. He's pretty lenient in general and isn't a stickler like other chem professors. Our midterm was a bit hard since grading was a bit harsh but the average was around 78% I think and he ends up scaling it in the end so you should be fine as long as you get average. You get a cheat sheet on the final which is amazing since no other chem lab professors let you have one for the final, and it pretty much will let you get a good grade on the final. There's a lot of work for the lab but it's pretty much busy work and it just sucks being in lab for 6 hours a week with multiple prelabs a week sometimes. Still, Henary is a great professor and I would definitely recommend him for 30AL.
This class was not too bad but the labs were sometimes killer! Selling high-scoring labs and old midterms at a cheap price! Text me at **********. (labs are typically the same for years)
