This class was a lot like AP Chem. The questions were generally very fair (but there were some oddballs thrown in there). Make sure you can do the textbook problems and go to the UA sessions!

Lavelle's class is difficult but fair; stay on top of practice problems he gives with the syllabus and you should be fine

The lectures were all recorded and made available to access whenever, so that part was extremely convenient. There were tons of UA sessions that made the class a lot easier, and overall the grading was fair.

Lectures were hard to follow sometimes but overall okay class

Lectures extremely dense and informative. Lavelle knew exactly what he was talking about and is a great lecturer. Tests were all multiple choice, but difficult. Margin for error was extremely low, so you miss more than a couple multiple choice questions on each midterm and final and you're not going to get an A. Likely would've been a breeze for me now, but was difficult at the time cuz I was transitioning to college. Got a B+, but definitely a course that you can get an A in. Came away having learned a ton.

Dr. Lavelle was a great chemistry professor for CHEM 14A -- I took AP Chem in high school and this class felt largely like a review of that course with some more in-depth information pertaining to each individual topic.

This class was very hard to understand with professor lavelle.

Basic General Chemistry class, you'll probably do well if you took AP Chem. Just do his assigned textbook problems and the UA worksheets that are uploaded to chemistry community and you'll be good.

Good class, lectures very well organized, homework assignments and other work assigned were targeted core concepts and prepared students well for exams

Lectures are slightly unclear, go to UA sessions
