@Aaymaann First, even if it didn't work, we can't afford it. 2nd, It doesn't work. Capitalism has done the more to eliminate poverty than any other system. Having decentralized power for the school system is the best. Ever since Carter changed that, scores have plummeted.

@PatzAkinZ lmaoo...do ya still higher???

[ripbaloff]

so can any chemE people answer a question for me?

so i watched like all of these videos and the chemistry used was all stuff from intro to chem (densities, combustion, stoichiometry) and most of the math only went as high as physics 1 and maybe a little bit of calculus. I noticed the main thing about this course was conceptualizing and critical thinking- does it stay like this more or less for the rest of the major?

And what exactly is the hardest part about this major?

great lecture



[allanboyanyue]

this reminds me of my ap chem teacher, and my us history teacher

Damn only white and asian people in that class. Just like my class at school.
