as long as you pay attention in class you will be fine. hw is required and due every week in section. the midterm and final were easier than the little quizzes, so study for those. do not lose free points on hw and chemistry community

Lavelle is not a good professor. He does not teach the material well, but still expects you to have quite an in depth and complex understanding of the material. This forces you to teach yourself all the material. Good luck!

Lavelle's class can seem a bit daunting, but you will probably be fine as long as you attend every lecture, do every homework problem, and read the book thoroughly. You do not need much prior chemistry experience to succeed in Lavelle's classes, although taking at least a basic chemistry course in high school can be rather useful. Be sure to use the resources Lavelle offers, and ask lots of questions. Good luck!

If you are more of a math than chem person, you are going to love 14B. Dr. Lavelle explains the topics in a very clear manner and the tests are also super straight forward with no trick questions. Some people here say that he is a bad lecturer, but I could not disagree more. Dr. Lavelle is very clear and takes his time explaining concepts, making sure that everyone is understanding what he is talking about.

The only thing that kind of annoys me is that this class is 14B and not A. Since 14C builds upon 14A topics, it would be much smarter to switch the order of both classes, so that students don’t have to re learn all 14A topics again after 10 weeks of thermo and other stuff

Professor Lavelle is the best! He truly cares about student learning and offers many resources for success. If you do all the homework and attend review sessions it is easy to succeed.

Dr. Lavelle is a sweet Professor. He truly cares about our learning. He gives a lot of help and many hours of tutoring. I truly love being his student. He deserves the best for caring so much about us (:

I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON TAKING CHEM14C. He no longer teaches intro to organic chemistry, and students entering CHEM14C are expected to have knowledge on organic chemistry before entering the course. Unless you want to spend the entire first couple of weeks of CHEM14C teaching yourself organic chemistry, I would suggest taking a different professor that provides you with the basis of knowledge that you need for the next chemistry courses.
