UC DAVIS CHE 118B (SS2 2021) INTRODUCTION, ADVICE, AND CLASS LOGISTICS

                Welcome Che 118B students.  My name is Gen and I hope this website will be a great resource to guide your studies. For each week's concepts, I have selected the most relevant or highest quality videos that I believe best matches what we learn at UC Davis. Additionally, there are test-relevant practice questions (written by Eric) for each week's concepts that include most of the scenarios and types of problems that have showed up on UC Davis exams within the last two decades. My suggestion is to first obtain a baseline level of understanding of conceptual information via attached videos or through lecture notes and then do as much practice as possible. Practice questions can be found in each week's post along with a plethora of resources within the "useful resources" tab.
                         

Tips on how to succeed:

How to use this website
  • Make use of outside resources & office hours
  • Stay AHEAD of material 
    • The class moves quickly, especially in summer session, so stay on top of your material. 
    • The best way to do this is to review lecture material both before and after lectures and also do a TON of practice problems. I will write and post practice problems on this website.
  • Do TONS of practice problems
  • Use spaced repetition to enhance memorization/ retention of concept knowledge
    • Spaced repetition is one of the most popular study techniques for medical students for a reason. Try using apps like Anki or simply continue to review your notes and test yourself often. Based off of research, the best time to review material is just as you are beginning to forget it.
