<p>I'v been hearing some not so nice things about Chem 102 at uiuc.</p>
<p>Whats your guys input?</p>
<p>if you're a moron and/or a big baby you will not be good at it. My roommate was probably the dumbest kid at U of I and he copied labs, had everybody on the floor help him with e-homework, and would only study for like 4 hours the night before tests cause he doesn't realize he's in college. He ended up with a D+ and they rounded it up to a C-, which ****ed me off. Just put in some effort.</p>
<p>So basically I'll be fine if I just put in some effort everyday, do all the homework/labs, and attend all the lectures? And if this roomate of yours studied everyday, would he have not had to study 4 hrs the night before the exam?</p>
<p>i didn't do any hw probs and would study only the night before the exam and get an A+. but then again i took the AP in high school. depending on your teacher the workload may vary. but if you do the homework problems and do fine on the quizzes i would say you're ready for the tests.</p>

<p>if my roommate studied every day, he should still study the night before the exam, because thats common sense. </p>
<p>I didn't take chem 102 (only 101), and this last semester before just about every exam in classes like econ 103, aviation, and env bio, I studied for 8 hours a day for the 3 days before the exam (eat dinner, then hit Grainger from 6pm till 2am). That's in addition to doing all the reading on time and doing the homework when I was supposed to. That's what I meant by this isn't high school.</p>
<p>oh my.... which prof is good for chem 102?</p>
<p>Not sure who's going to be teaching it, but I had Hummel and I thought he was pretty good. He really likes blowing up hydrogen. I had Yerkes for 104 and I didn't care for her too much.</p>
<p>Blowing up hydrogen is my cup of tea. Was that the only thing he blew up?</p>
<p>I heard he also blew off his hand. maybe that was a diff prof.</p>
<p>Yeah, he claims he broke his hand once while doing a demonstration in lecture.</p>
<p>broke it, my ass. he blew the damn thing off.</p>
<p>I am thinking about doing chem 102, 103, physics 212, math 415, and advertising 300... It won't be too tough, would it?</p>
<p>I've heard the lab for chem is very time consuming, so I am not sure if I should do linear algebra this semester...</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Chem labs aren't bad at all. Depends a lot on your TA. Some of them are picky, some aren't. But even if you have a tough one it's not bad. It's only every other week, so you have plenty of time to do the pre-lab. The labs are tedious more than anything, but you'll still finish most of them in 2 hours or under. There are only 6 in the semester. Then you have to do a pre and post lab quiz online with unlimited tries. The written pre-labs usually take an hour usually or two hours if you're trying to be thorough. I had a picky TA for 103 and it still wasn't hard. For 105 I had a really easy TA and I could write basically anything down and she would only mark a point or two off.
Physics 212 I've heard is hard. Advertising 300 I think wouldn't be too bad. No idea what Math 415 is.</p>
