<p>On the textbook website, it says package with study guide, solution manual, model kit and STD? does anyone know what STD is?? Plus do we really needthe model kit??</p>
<p>model kit useful for the future; std is like this interactive thing cd crap</p>
<p>do we need the model kit/std for lavelle? also is it neccesary to buy the ucla custom edition? i already bought the textbook (4th ed) but its the not ucla customized or whatever
thanks.</p>
<p>It's probably assigned. No, it's not necessary to buy the custom edition - ask the professor if it's imperative that you have the interactive crap that comes with the package.</p>

<p>I have a brand new 14A/B textbook that I'm selling for $30. PM me if you're interested.</p>
<p>is the model kit for organic chem?</p>
<p>My 14A/B book is the previous edition with solution manuals.</p>
<p>When I bought the book (mind you, several years ago), the model kit came bundled with it - but I never actually opened the kit. Its pretty worthless, IMHO. But some people found it useful to visualize molecules by building them... I dunno - not my thing. IIRC, Lavelle and Hardinger both allowed you to bring them with you to the tests (midterms and final) if you wanted to.</p>
<p>i found the model kit useless for 14a..however in 14b it was more useful..and hardinger recommends getting it for c and d because it does help visualizing. my advice is make some friends and borrow these things. for example if u take 14b with scerri..he will say u need to buy the textbook but ur not gonna open it at all. i didn't open it once, thank god i didnt throw away $100 on it but borrowed it from people.</p>
<p>^ Banana girl, if you borrowed it form someone, I assume you borrowed it to use it. Thus you did open it, maybe even more than once.</p>
<p>The custom edition has ochem at the end of the 14b edition. Not sure were you would find that stuff elsewhere. Also, the solutions manual is bundled so it is more convenient. Price wise, I think it is actually cheaper, it was for me at least. But resale value on that thing is *<strong><em>, so that is one thing to consider. You are going to need the model kit eventually so might as well get it now. Although Spam has the USC model kit, and I have to say, it *</em></strong>ing OWNS our model kit. </p>
<p>My roommate used 3 model kits to build taxol, for those of you who have taken 14c already. I have pics, hahahahaha.</p>
<p>I just received an email from UCLA saying that the chem 14A course reader and workbook are now available. Are they worth buying? If yes, are they one of those customized UCLA books that I have to buy from Course Reader Material, or can I just find cheaper ones elsewhere online? Thanks.</p>
<p>Ya, the UCLA model kit is really tiny and weirdly shaped</p>
<p>The USC model kit that I got from my sister is spherical shaped. It does post some problems in that it may roll around, but I keep unused pieces in the box anyways. It looks a lot better though, like the actual "representation" of the molecules.</p>
<p>so does this mean we dont have to buy the entire package from ucla and can just buy a used textbook from someone else? what else besides the model kit and textbook are in the package anyways? anything that essential?</p>
<p>where is 1081 broxton ave?</p>
<p>It's somewhere on UCLA (sorry if you wanted a more specific location).</p>
<p>Can we have this shipped to our house? It sounds pretty important.</p>
<p>It's south of campus. Walk south on Westwood from the Ackerman terminal, turn right at Le Conte, turn left on Broxton.</p>
<p>P.S. Holy hell, use Crapquest or Google Maps. W T F. How old are you that you need others to look up addresses for you? I mean, seriously?</p>
<p>Not even on UCLA. More like near. From Dysktra, make a right, right, left, Left on (Weyburn), right on Broxton. Go straight down, it'll be on the left</p>
