Well put.

Almost all of the questions are directly or indirectly from her old tests

12/3/2005 11:31:16 PM

I made a 101 on that final.

If you've kept up with the class shouldn't be that bad.

12/3/2005 11:35:34 PM

well my highest test grade is a 68 and that's with me studyin my ass off.....

i might be in trouble

Study old tests and similar webassign questions. Is the test on a computer. I took it before they had exams on computers.

12/4/2005 1:04:12 AM

i'm in this too lobes...my exams have been 63,66 and 67 with about an 82 webass. avg. Does she give any sort of curve at the end? I have to have a C in this one...

12/4/2005 9:52:30 AM

I don't think she curves, at least not last semester.

12/4/2005 11:09:18 AM

how do you know your webass average memo?

I'm pretty much fucked if i dont make at least a C on this final

12/4/2005 12:02:17 PM

what worked with me is doing the mechanisms over and over again. It also helps if you re-do them right before the exam.

ch 223 over the summer with sandberg

final exam (well all exams) were on the computer with 2 webassign submits

but isnt it if you submit it a second time the highest grade you can get is like a 90, where as if you only submit it once you can get up to a 100?

12/4/2005 1:54:54 PM

No if you submit it a second time even if its lower than your first submission your second submission counts. Par example,

1st 90
2nd 100

you get a 100

1st 95
2nd 90

you get a 90

i reccomend studying the notes then looking at the old exams

there are some nuances in the old exams that arent in the notes, but the notes definatley need to be studied as well. however, if you just want a passing grade, memorizing the old exams will be fine.

I'd say just old exams are a guarenteed 70%, potentially an 80%.. i got banged by the new stuff she went over last semester, so make sure you know the D and L crap

12/5/2005 12:40:41 PM

i remember organic 2 back in 98

tha shit was tough

12/5/2005 2:27:09 PM

someone explain the extractions with phenol

where you use NaOH or NaHCO3


nm just figured it out, actually it wasn't that hard at all

Does anyone remember how long her final is? Comparable to the other exams?

12/8/2005 11:36:44 AM

come on someone has to remember how long this thing is gonna take...

12/8/2005 8:08:21 PM

i took it tuesday......it was long.....43 questions

12/8/2005 8:27:04 PM

it will take u nearly the whole time

12/8/2005 10:14:54 PM

i passionately disliked dr sandberg's approach...one of the few classes where i gave my all and it didnt do any good...got a D- (60.4) in 223

good luck to you all

12/9/2005 1:05:30 AM

what was wrong with her approach??

12/9/2005 2:08:25 AM

^^ Her approach didn't work for me either
But I suggest studying the webassign homeworks and old tests the most.

[Edited on December 9, 2005 at 3:58 AM. Reason : I learned more in her class yet I did worse on the tests than I did in Wahl's organic I]

old tests are the key for the final

12/9/2005 9:40:34 AM

Everyone is saying to study the old tests but then I talked to some random guy at the library who told me that the old tests aren't very similar to the final. Could someone who has already taken the final this semester tell me which is right?! Thanks!
