the thread about nothing...

 
idk I'm a junior and taking honors chemistry

We've done nothing all year. Our midterm is on chapter 1 and 2

I hope you don't decide to take Chemistry in college because you won't be prepared and will be attempted to be "weeded out" . The American education system

 I know its bad, my older siblings weren't prepared, specifically in calculus and physics. Even when I was reviewing today, I realized we only got to Chapter 3 lesson 2. Since we didn't finish Chapter 3, we cut off what we have to know up to the end of ch 2. 

I should have went to a private school for high school.

For real, my girl went to private school her whole life, I was a child of the public school system.  Shes lightyears ahead of me in a classroom.  Got to college and had to take like 2 years worth of classes just to get into college level classes

You're not any less smarter than the people in your future college classes, just less prepared. Use your time wisely, because you will be playing catch-up to those who are more privileged. Gaining good study habits, re-learning the material, then learning new material, probably took me until sometime sophomore year to get adjusted to until I felt like I was on the same playing field as everyone else. That I could then actually compete with students who had real teachers and not just some young kids trying to pay off loans for Teach for America and forced to work in the hood.
 
I also have to type a short essay, 1 page, using my knowledge of flame tests, the bohr model of the atom, how an energy saving light bulb does the following:

A. Use less energy than a traditional light bulb.

B. Produces light without a filament

C. Why it will not cool the room to have these lights shut off in the summer

D. Where else could this information be used outside of this laboratory.

Also, this is the essay he made for the midterm, but due to him not getting to teach all of it, he has allowed us to do it at home using the computer.

He also said if you don't do it, he won't count it against you, but it will help you get a better average if you do do it. 
 
college chemistry is a ***** indeed. that curve is godsent though.

you're welcome :smile:  hit me up if you need more help.


making solutions :x  organic chemistry :x :x :x  

you teach french, m'dear? :nerd:

I got a D in Chem 2, but an A in OChem :x :smh: life is cruel. And i took French for 7 years and hated it, every single minute so...only if the price is right :nerd:

I am actually really good at Pre Calc, have a 98. Others in my class have 70s and 80s. Since a lot of it is just logic, its easy for me.

I'm actually excited for Calc next year. My pre calc teacher told me I'll be good in Physics. Just chemistry. I hate it 
laugh.gif
 So boring....

Idk if I'll like physics, depends on what subjects we touch upon.

Astro Physics is what I like...

I like learning about space the universe and how everything works around us.

I had to do all of this ****** for my degree, now that I'm working the only things I need to know how to do are auto cad and excel

That's good, but the kids you'll be up against in college already know Calculus, Physics, etc. My freshman calc class was mostly a review for everyone who already took the AP Calc test Sophomore year of hs and just wanted an easy A :smh:

Not trying to discourage you, but if I had known a lot of this in HS, I would have studied a lot more and now is a great time for you. A lot of college is self-study and it would be wise to develop those habits now.
 
Congrats/props to all you guys that can do college.

I'm not built for it.

I wasn't either, but them XR's gave me superpowers. College is all ******, the whole foundation of it. I would hire someone with an AAS and 5 years of experience over someone with a BS and no xp.

 What schools did these kids go too?

Were they foreign exchange students?

core classes and electives are the bullcrap...technically a 'college' education can be completed within 2yrs. But the insecure americans thought they had no culture and decided that bs humanities education is a good way to get the young people civilized.
