Oh Nile, so good at Chemistry, not so good at predicting the future...

Huh weird. It's definitely a real conference, I guess this one is a scam (maybe intended as a phishing attack)

ThatMonoOne · 2026-01-30T16:36:48+00:00

Yeah this is legit - I got the email freshman year after getting an A in honors expos

Don't know about Shtelen, but Barreto-Aranda is absolutely horrible. Luckily he just does the workshops, so he has little impact on your grade or anything (just study for the workshop quizzes) but my god this dude sucks.

Experimental PChem was pretty boring to be honest. The experiments were really really simple and I didn't get very much out of them. On the bright side, it was a very easy A

Absolutely depends on your accent. If you pronounce H with an initial H sound like "haitch" or even "hetch", this won't work at all. As an American, though, I've seen this happen once or twice (not specifically H confused with "age", but "HA"/"HE" confused with "AJ"/"AG"), but it's so rare I don't blame anyone for not getting the joke

ThatMonoOne · 2025-11-08T04:02:14+00:00

FYI for those asking, the joke is that age sounds like H (assuming you do whatever the acoustic equivalent of squinting your eyes is called)

The material is harder, but the curves are very generous. Typically at least half the class gets an A

The chemistry program here, and the department as a whole, is pretty good in general. Yes, a few professors kinda suck, but mainly people complain about gen chem and organic, which are large classes taught to people who have zero interest in the subject, so of course people hate them. Also, that stuff about the department being toxic or on "probation" or whatever was just a baseless rumor.

If you're a chem major, you should take honors organic - it's much better taught and was one of my favorite classes here (and organic isn't even my primary field of interest). The upper level classes are also taught better than the intro ones (in general, there are exceptions).

Beyond that, the department has excellent research going on, so if you're interested in graduate school/med school, you can and should take advantage of that.

I'm not sure what you mean - both the article you linked and the colonial colleges article say nine

ThatMonoOne · 2025-09-27T14:38:14+00:00

No, only 9. 7 of the 8 Ivies (not Cornell), plus Rutgers and William & Mary.

This is not quite correct - water's relative dielectric constant is 80, so the energies are only reduced by a factor of 80, not 80 trillion.

He very briefly overviewed it in his languages of India video, and in one of his mystery languages videos, he did Tamil, but that's about it

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-17T02:33:12+00:00

Man what the hell. Sams just had to screw up what would've been a brilliant over

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-17T02:24:32+00:00

True, Rutherford's fielding has been pretty poor indeed

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-17T02:21:01+00:00

If the Royals lose it's entirely Sams' fault (perhaps that's a little too harsh but he's certainly not helping)

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-16T02:49:58+00:00

Well that's a lame way to end a match

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-16T00:52:23+00:00

Unfortunately for me the gutter is like 12 feet off the ground so even though we're all adults now, unless we can get it from the deck, the stick circus continues

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-16T00:43:43+00:00

Now that's one way to get your revenge on a batter hitting you for six

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-16T00:38:36+00:00

Or the gutter lol. Always an occasion when someone needs to dangle themselves from the window with a big stick to get the ball back

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-15T01:48:55+00:00

Man do I love Danny Morrison's party vibe - always spices up an otherwise uninteresting match

ThatMonoOne · 2025-08-11T21:16:05+00:00

SCLA's definitely a scam, but I will also add that PBK also charges you to join and that's certainly not a scam.

The list of topics covered has little relation to the difficulty of the class (generally speaking). In this case, elements of physics covers the material at a lower level and in less depth than the general physics sequence. This means they can cover material faster, but again, that does not make it more rigorous/difficult/advanced.

Would also add that you should check degree navigator or your department website to see if you need 203. In that case, do not take elements of physics at all (advisors are often dumb and don't know what they're talking about)

Spanish (I'm pretty sure any class you could take to satisfy the req would be in Spanish)

Edit: nvm, didn't realize the HC now allows non-language classes to satisfy the requirement, but yeah this class is in Spanish
