Spring 2025 - Dr. Deweese is genuinely the best chemistry professor I have had at UCLA. She is the sweetest human being, and so nice and approachable if you interact with her. Genuninely, if you want to do well in this class, she will help you. Office hours are super helpful, and the course is structured in a way that you build up to the exams. The first half of the course (and the associated midterm) is super chill, and while the second half does get more complex, it's still certainly manageable. The final wasn't easy, but it was definitely fair, and if you study, certainly doable. Overall, while 14 B content is not my favorite, if I had to take this class again, I would make sure to take it with Dr. Deweese!
