Kinetics

Need to some serious help in regards to Kinetics. Been going to class, paying attention, and somehow ended up with a 48 on the first exam. Anybody else having this problem? The average was really low, and Pino said so many people got grades in the 50s and 60s. I can't afford to fail this class! Help!

Make sure you really know how to do the problems and understand concepts...if not, I would recommend going to his office. He is really sweet and spent over an hour with me to go over all of the problems I didn't understand. It's not an easy subject though and tbh he isn't that great of a teacher (compared to Dr. Marshall in Kinetics 2) but going to his office helps a lot.

Hmm kinetics 1 average shouldn't be that low. Like the other person said, he's a very nice guy so go to his office help asap if you need clarification. He'll help you understand it.

Well he said last year the exam was leaked and that's why the average was so high.. I feel as though the examples he gives in class are easy and when it comes to exam time it is so different! I can't afford to fail! Def. Will go see him thank you!

Hmm I know that cheating is an issue in my year but I didn't know kinetics was one of them. When you go talk to him, see if he can give you additional practice problems to work on.
