This course turns out much easier than CHE 312 since there are not too much differential equation to deal with, and you are not going to derive b/c condition derivations like you did in 312. You just need to study a lot of relations and knows when to applying them correctly :D ( Taught by Boxin Zhao, one of good prof I had in my undergrad, he generally cares student more and his exams are very fair.)

u/BlueLociz: “… If this is ChE 313, I had Chandra Mouli and was allowed 3 double sided hand written cheat sheets and the exam was 20% T/F / MC and 80% actual problems. Take care what you put into the cheat sheets. Put in examples or concepts you really have trouble understanding / remembering. …”
