The ACS exam is a large standardized multiple choice test written by the American Chemistry Society. The ACS chemistry subject exams are frequently used to prove proficiency for incoming graduate students.

The two tests are not necessarily all free response. She prefers to give part multiple choice and part short answer. There are built in curves for the exams. Things like there being 8 short answer questions, but you pick four and those are the only ones you have to answer.

As for what is sufficient, I don't know. I go for there is no kill like overkill, so that isn't a help. How long the Sapling homework takes you is highly variable. If I started at the beginning of a chapter it always took me longer than if I started by the midpoint, but that's a personal thing. If you keep after it and actually do work about two hours a day every single day, then you should be just fine for any course.

This said, I highly recommend reading Organic Chemistry As A Second Language to help get your head around the topics. Keep track of the electrons and what they are doing rather than specific mechanisms by name. Look for the patterns rather than trying to memorize everything. Don't be afraid to use the CRC for tutoring, second floor of the chem building on your left as you walk through the doors, it's paid for in your tuition and fees for taking organic chemistry. Also, make use of your resources and use YouTube videos and Khan academy when you get stuck. They don't often go in a great deal of depth, but they can get you on the right track.

Dandekar does reward work. If she can see that you are busting ass because your study group leader reports that you've been there working hard that helps. If you do all of the extra credit and it isn't slapdash, that gets rewarded as well. I can't speak to the bumping grades by a letter, but I can tell you she respects it and she rewards it.

The commute is what concerns me in your case. I'm not much better off living in the Frisco area about half an hour away from campus. Having been there done that, what really helped for me was that I set things up so that I would spend the entire days at UNT alternating with the community college. The commute is not trivial. Also, thanks to the lovely parking situation, you should plan to arrive at the campus nearly an hour before class to give yourself time to find a parking spot, walk to class, and get settled in the right frame of mind to learn something new. After 9:30 am and before 2 pm, finding parking is not easy.

Welcome to the club, I have scoured the Internet for the best setup and I would recommend this bundle from Amazon. A little about mechanical keyboards, the patents went out for the key mechanisms opening up the market for other manufacturers. The keyboard alone is worth the $40 keys are replaceable and feel amazing. only con is it does not have the additional number keys that some keyboards have but found this to be perfect for gaming because i can keep my mouse hand closer.

I recommend selling it on Amazon, you can sell stuff for free as an individual as long as you are ok with Amazon taking some fees, won't be too much though.

Here, the cheapest is $139.82 + shipping, so even with the Amazon fees you will probably earn about the same amount selling here or Amazon, but you will sell MUCH quicker there, especially since it seems this monitor is in good demand. And when you ship it, make sure you pack it properly so it doesn't get damaged during its shipment.

Definitely buy the kits as they can save you lots of time and money. Be careful though; some items are included in both the drawing and design kit so buying both would be kind of redundant. I bought the drawing kit for around $205 at Asel's and bought any other supplies I needed individually. Also, professors usually give you a week or so to get one.

As for Design I, if professors bring up illustration board, you're gonna need around 10 boards for the semester so do the smart thing and buy them in bulk https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044SEL9A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I hope your year goes smoothly!

For general number crunching I use my trusty TI-36x. It's $20, does definite integration and derivation and pretty much everything else that a TI-84 does (minus the graphing). It's also solar powered and rather small.

For heavy duty calculations I use my TI Nspire CAS

I was a sponsored PC gamer. I recommend a wired mouse that has weight adjustments (wireless mice dying during a game sucks and batteries cost money). Don't go for expensive stuff unless you know exactly what you want. You don't need 18 zillion buttons on the side of your mouse, they will just get in the way. Having 2 side buttons for your thumb is all you need in my opinion. For an introduction gaming mouse, I'd say you should look at the Corsair M65

As for the keyboard, most gaming keyboards are an absolute waste of money. They have lights, unnecessary buttons and that sort of jazz. Don't get any type of curved keyboard, those are also terrible. Personally, I stay far away from thin keyboards because they don't have enough tactile feedback for my taste. Something like a Logitech K840 is a good one to start with.

I've played with people who do well on all sorts of weird gear though. The most important thing is comfort. Look at customer reviews over website reviews. Gaming companies are notorious for paying for their equipment to get positive reviews, and (most) sponsored players are obligated to recommend their gear in public settings.

That's priced a little high for a 2+ year old smart watch that I can buy new for $179.99-$229.99. Electronics, especially smart watches, depreciate quickly.

While they start out on the smaller side, these plants will grow to be a little bigger, BUT they are vine-like and drape down rather than grow outwards. I highly recommend these because they are easy to take care of and you can forget about them for a long time without them dying. I like these because I like having a lot of plants, but these are the two that I started out with almost a year ago (and they're still doing great!). And they're much more unique than succulents/cacti.

Linux Journey is pretty good. I think the "Grasshopper" section should be more than enough for 1030. You can skip the getting started part and follow this guide to get a linux distribution on your Windows 10.
If you don't have windows 10 then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


And I think the book for that class is Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup. You can probably find a .pdf of it online though.

Be sure to get the textbooks. You WILL be using them. Especially the workbooks.
These are what you'll need:

I also suggest getting little things like this:

The rec center rents tents for pretty reasonable rates.

Keep in mind cheap-o tents are cheap so if you're going to use it at least twice and have room to store it, you might as well buy one.

How much you willing to spend? The best money can buy is the Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit but it's pricey.

What I use is the ABUS one. Used it ever since freshman year and still have my bike.
