Students will assist the teaching assistant in teaching a lab course in which the student previously received a grade of A- or better. Activities will be determined in consultation with the instructor and include instruction of 1 or 2 lab sections per week. Undergraduates enrolled in Chem 183 are learning assistants (LAs) in the general chemistry laboratory. LAs teach and mentor first-year university students. LAs assist students with experiments, lab technique, data analysis, calculations, learning chemistry concepts, and problem solving. As the LAs learn STEM education pedagogy, they can practice what they learn as LAs in the chemistry lab.

Prerequisites: Upper-division standing, a chemistry grade point average of 3.5 or above and consent of instructor.

Chem1A . Svadlenak N D 7 Months Ago

Don't take this class with him. Trust me. He's the only professor who does free response and there's only 2 midterms and one final they're all worth 80% of your grade. If you do take him prepare to study a lot and his questions are very weird, the way he words stuff is just very annoying. He's new so he doesn't know how to teach properly.

Nathan had slides that he went through very fast and was overall unorganized. I luckily had a TA would took sympathy on us and would grade more reasonably, however I basically had to teach the whole course to myself. The one thing that I liked was that he drops the lowest test grade (which could be 1 out of the 3 midterms or the final).

Nathan was very unorganized and very much all over the place. I would not recommend taking chem 25 with him. If you are an incoming freshman I suggest you just take chem 1A your second quarter rather than taking this course with a professor who will only complicate things more.

There are some typos on the PowerPoint, but not significant. He can explain the concepts well, and his exam is not too difficult. As long as you complete the problems he assigned in the textbook, you'll receive a good grade.

The operating system Aleks is terrible. The exam is not easy either.
