chem14B

<p>would you recommend taking 14B and 14BL together? a lot of people i have talked to said that it would be too difficult and that their orientation counselors and older peers strongly advised against this. btw, for 14BL, how is the teacher? he seems to be getting a lot of negative reviews on bruinwalk..</p>

<p>i hear the warnings too...but it seems like a good amount of people are going to take them both next quarter...but it'll depend on how busy you'll be...what other classes you're taking...how much you think you can handle...</p>

<p>im not even in 14a yet and i hear some of the older students advising us to take it with 14c or something</p>

<p>take what with 14c?</p>

<p>i don't think it'll be that bad. obviously its gonna be hard cause these are pre-health weeders, but BL has 14B as a corequisite, which, to my understanding, means that they are safe to take together. Id say, take those two but make sure your other two classes are not hard. Thats what im plannin on doing.</p>

<p>^^^sounds good</p>

<p>do you guys think 14c with cl would be wise? ive heard bad things about those two together as well</p>

<p>probably the same reasoning as bruinboy said...if you're taking c/cl...try to take two other easier classes...or even just one..</p>

<p>If you check the general catalog, it says that a enforced corequisite of Chem14BL is Chem 14B.</p>

<p>14BL General and Organic Chemistry Laboratory I. (3) Lecture, one hour; laboratory, three hours. Enforced requisite: course 14A with a grade of C- or better. Enforced corequisite: course 14B. </p>

<p>Doesn't enforced corequisite mean you have to take them at the same time?</p>

<p>or you can take the lab after youve taken the class</p>

<p>This is why I'm really confused. I asked the department if corequisites must be taken in the same quarter and the person said yes and that requisites are taken the quarter before but not corequisites. But I also have heard many people taking them in separate quarters so I think maybe the person was just confused...</p>

<p>basically, you can take B before BL, but not the other way around. You could also take them together.</p>

<p>Co-requisite status isn't actually enforced... most people take Physics 1A before Physics 4AL and most people take Physics 1B before Physics 4BL, even though they're all designated as co-requisites on the Registrar site. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Gotcha. Thanks =)</p>

<p>ohhh...so they just don't enforce it...</p>
