My D will be a freshman Gator Engineering student starting Summer B, 2016, and will be pursuing an engineering major that does not require CHM2046.
This Fall, 2016, Korolev will be teaching CHM2045 and CHM2095.
I’ve heard recommendations not to take CHM2095 (more work).
I expect the last my D will use Chemistry will be to pass the FE exam (been there,done that).
What say you?
I’m not sure what the question is, but Dr. Korolev is a amazing professor either way. CHM2095 is chemistry for engineers. If your daughter isn’t an engineer, there is no reason to take chm2095. CHM2045 is plenty difficult by itself. 
Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
My question is: If my D, an engineering student, seeks to complete the engineering Chemistry requirement with the least amount of work, what is her better path?
My D has no interest in pursuing a Chem E, or a BME degree.
I have read elsewhere that CHM2095 involves additional work, and is less aligned with the required CHM2045L.
I am seeking other informed opinions. The original plan was to take CHM2045 over the summer at her CC, but her Summer B admission changed that plan.
I think the D will have her hands full with MAC2313 in the Fall, and the easier of the two CHM classes would be the preferred approach.
Her advisor in Preview may promote CMH2095, as she is an engineering student, I would like her to enter her Preview discussion fully informed.
My D is HS/AA and I gather she’ll need to get the core engineering requirements completed before she can start her upper division.
Hmmm…my daughter (Industrial Engineering) took CHM2095, last year. Her roommate had CHM2045 (she’s a pre-vet/animal science major), and CHM2095 didn’t seem any harder.
As a freshman female engineer, one advantage of taking CHM2095, is that your peers (other female engineers) will also be talking this class. It’s a good way to make friends and form study groups, with students you’ll be hanging out with in the future.
By the way, I highly recommend your D check out eSWAMP, which is an event put on by SWE (Society of Women Engineers), the weekend before classes/registration). It’s another chance to meet future peers. She’ll see info on it during Preview (the society/clubs breakout sessions).
No idea but here is a small reddit thread on it…
https://www.reddit.com/r/ufl/comments/2aw4zu/which_is_better_chm2045_vs_chm2095/
Yes the reddit forum is actually a much better way to get these engineering specific questions answered. I don’t think the link worked ,though. I will give you fair warning for either class: if your daughter has not had chemistry since the sophomore year of high school and did not have AP chem or similar- I strongly advise she take the intro chem class first or be prepared to possibly use Study Edge. The ALEKS math placement test is not a reliable predictor of success in chemistry at UF. My kid was able to AP out of it and was actually encouraged to do so by engineering advising as she is not Chem E or BME nor does she want to go to med school. Regardless, Korolev is who she wants- no doubt!
Oh forgot to mention- for MAC2313- she wants Keeran! He is the lead in that class anyhow.
Thanks all. I think the Reddit thread was where I got my initial info - seemed clear as mud.
On the bright side, I’ve read good things about Dr. Korolev, so, at least she will be getting a top notch prof in either case.
I can see a plus in my D meeting some fellow freshman engineers in CHM2095, as most of her other 2016/2017 engineering classes will be at the sophomore/junior level.
Good input Gator88NE - I’ve already signed D up as a national SWE member. eSWAMP seems like an event not to be missed. D also wanted to go Greek, but I don’t see her having time for all of that, so Phi Sigma Rho may be a good fit for my D, as well.
CHM1025, might be a good class for Summer B and add some GPA pad. My vision is that she’d take MAP2302, EMC3246, and EGS1006 (for a total of seven units) in Summer B. Swapping one of those classes for CHM1025 would push the other classes further down the timeline.
Lol ucsb82, you’re as bad as I was last year, when it comes to planning out our daughter’s schedules. 
By next year, you’ll find that you’ve been demoted to doing a “quality check” on her class schedule, as she starts getting feedback from others in her major (and her advisor). :-w
