CHEM 14B - Lavelle

Hi! I noticed Lavelle has the audio-visual modules attached to his website. For anyone who has previously had Lavelle for any of the 14 series:

Are we expected to complete all of these BEFORE the first class? Or is this something we are supposed to do as the quarter moves on?

I had a different chem prof last quarter so I am just trying to familiarize myself with Lavelle’s methods. Thanks!

I think it’s a good idea to start them now but we got like the first week to do it however that was because we also had move in time to do the hw before first day of class etc. they’ll prolly just be review of 14A and helpful but lead into first unit. Personally I hate his tests but he’s the only teacher yay!!

How did you access the website? I have Lavelle for 14B next quarter too

Does anyone know if there’s a group me for winter 25 ?

Oh ok. So under the “important instructions” where it lists some HW below, are we also expected to complete the textbook problems as HW or will HW be more formally assigned once class starts?

He sent out an email saying you need to download the UCLA VPN. You are able to visit the website, but you need the VPN to access the 14b specific material. Steps to downloading it are linked in the email

However, once i downloaded the VPN and viewed the page, I no longer needed it upon returning back. So i am pretty sure you can just use the VPN to access it the first time and then maybe remove it if you don’t want it?

There’s HW problems from the textbook connected to “Achieve” by Macmillan which is unfortunately like 50 bucks. The HW is pretty short. Textbook problems (all odd numbered w solutions ) are very helpful but not required however he takes at minimum 1 problem from the assigned ones onto the midterm (out of 14 MCQ) but also it covers topics he glosses over tbh like u should do them for sure.

Also I by the first week to do them I meant that was for fall, I’m assuming it’ll be the same.
