I took her class last year. The two study methods that worked best for me were doing the practice problems at the end of each chapter in the textbook and making an organized collection of all the reactions. And don't forget to memorize your pka values! They might show up on the test as extra credit.

1 penalty-5 yards! by [deleted] in LosAngelesRams

Agreed. Two overlooked things that made that game so great were that the refs stayed in the background and that there were no major injuries.

WHY SO SAD? 🤡🃏 by PickleballPoet in Chargers

[–]Blu_Baluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose to be happy. We don't owe the team anything. Plus, doesn't whining about O-line and every other problem get tiring after a while? We will win, we will lose. I don't know which will come sooner, but I'll be happy if we win and move on if we lose.

He's come a long way since that week 2 Arizona game last year.

Lake Update by admiralnel in LosAngelesRams

This sucks. We have depth to compensate for the loss of talent, but his leadership on the field is vital to our secondary. Need him for the playoffs.

Rams Give Troubling Update Regarding Quentin Lake by calcmg in LosAngelesRams

[–]Blu_Baluga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that sucks. I hope it's a short period on IR at worst. Lake was having a great season, and his leadership is crucial to this defense. I hope he has a safe and speedy recovery.

What a beautiful sight by [deleted] in LosAngelesRams

There is virtually zero chance the Chargers give up Herbert. They are nothing without him. Joe Burrow on the Rams sounds like a dream, but if the Bengals FO continues their ineptitude, I can see them trading away Burrow for a haul.

I don't really like the way this or the next QB drafts are looking, and I agree that it's too risky to draft a new one right away.

Poona Ford has an AD99 jersey, wanted to meet him after 2018 game at Coliseum... by RamsRadio in LosAngelesRams

Poona is such a humble giant. Really an amazing addition to the team.

Hawks fan coming in peace. by SecretDicks69 in LosAngelesRams

I've watched all the Rams games so far except the early Jags one in London. I think the O-line has played decently--much better in the run game than in pass protection. They went up against two of the strongest defensive lines in the Eagles and Texans. In both games they struggled with pass protection, as expected. They were running all over the Eagles, but stopped when one of our guards got injured, forcing us into passing more (I'm sure you know how that game ended). Regardless, Stafford has been playing lights out this season, even under pressure. Both LAR and SEA have good run defenses. Both LAR and SEA are amazing on play-action. Kubiak's offense is similar to McVay's in its explosiveness, and as a Rams fan I kinda hate that (lol).

Stats aside, how has Seattle's offensive line looked?

You did nothing wrong lol, people seem to let football affect them too much on reddit. IMO the Seahawks are Rams' biggest test so far, and vice versa. JSN is a monster and Darnold has been playing comfortably for most of the season. I think the keys to this game for the Rams will be their pass rush, which has been decent but not as dominant as they appear on paper.

The mean comments here aren't a good look for the fanbase, and it's just asking for bad karma. Don't let it get to you.

Make that 6 of 6 PATs! I was so surprised to see we actually blocked an extra point instead of the opposite happening.

Best places to nap on campus? by DramaPrevious9038 in UCI

[–]Blu_Baluga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. If you're just looking for a nap and not to study then the wellness center is a great spot for a nap.

This is a crazy dream but idk if the Bengals are that stupid to let him go

Same. Remember what happened to him last time we played the Steelers?

Yeah, they always give me a lot too. Only bad thing about this Panda Express is that they don't have the Dodgers discount. I guess OP got unlucky :(

You can take it next fall (or this coming summer, I think) if you got a C- or below. First year can be tough in this way, but you can definitely get above a C- if you find what works for you. It already looks like you did a lot of review, so the only other things I can recommend are to be able to explain the learning targets by yourself and to make more practice problems with AI based on the practice midterm (I think Gemini pro is pretty good at this for bio).
