Selling Chemistry 30 BL study guide (used to get an A- in this class in Fall '13). The 15 typed page comprehensive guide includes discussion of key concepts, experimental techniques, summary of expected results and common questions/answers to typical quiz questions for each experiment. All information is easy to follow and organized by experiment name. Note: I did not attend a single lecture and relied solely on this. Price - $20 Text ********** if interested.

Fall 2025 - Deifel is awesome, he is so down to earth and approachable! He makes lectures really easy going and doesn't use slides but instead will use the board and give great examples that correlate with labs or the final. No tricks with the final, he tells you what he would ask and gives worksheets that are so similar to the types of questions on the exam. He's so funny and real which made it easy to go up to him and ask anything. He's so flexible and lenient as well and also understands how busy we are as students and will make sure his class is not a burden to you! I learned a lot from this class and also how to better connect with a professor thanks to Deifel. I really recommend you take this class with him for a great quarter :)
