Let me know if you have any other questions. Sorry it took so long - had to catch up with my own courses
I took 109A last quarter with Bruice and LMAO rip it was 2 fast and furious 4 me, and thus my weary brain and butt is re-taking it right now with Aue.
Anyway, I went into this quarter expecting the first half at least to be a breeze for me since yeah, I'd gone through the course once already. But to be honest, Aue's style of teaching is completely different from Bruice's, and I was pretty lost myself and felt like I was taking the course for the first time again. So even more respect to the students that are taking O-chem for the first time under him.
I'm not the best student, but from my own experiences comparing the two classes, I feel like you shouldn't focus too much on the textbook, since Aue deviates from it a lot and teaches things that aren't mentioned in it at all. In Bruice, her tests were basically just the book problems (the questions weren't too hard, there was just so much to cover in so little time, whic, but I'll look through the book now and realize there's so much stuff I had to study in her class last quarter that seems to never be mentioned in Aue.
Are you enrolled in CLAS? That's really helpful for me. I did pretty well on the first midterm this quarter, and it's all because one of the CLAS instructor's pre-midterm review sessions taught me so much and saved my butt.
Seems like the best way to study for Aue is to study his past midterms. I don't have any of my own, but I know he does post an old one online on Gauchospace. Just see if you can get a good understanding of the free response questions, since the first midterm was pretty similar in concept, and if anything, it was the multiple choice questions I struggled more with LOL.
Additionally, one of my older friends gave me this book to supplement my readings last quarter, that I didn't crack open at all until I was in Aue lmao. But I found it pretty helpful, too, since I was too lazy to read the textbook and it seemed like Aue followed the order of this handbook better than Bruice's textbook. I believe it's also one of the supplemental readings he mentions in the syllabus: O-Chem As Second Language
But yeah. Don't stress too much. I hope some of this could be helpful, but take it with a grain of salt, since this is also my first time taking a course under Aue. I too am in the same boat as u in that i feel fked for the next midterm atm :-) But dw, you've still got a couple of days left and I had no idea that I would do decently well on the last midterm until it happened. That can be you, too.
HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND GOOD LUCK!
I don't have any old problem sets off hand, but I could point you towards all the topics you should know and be familiar with. It's basically the first 3 chapters of Griffiths -- by the end of the quarter you should know everything from these chapters extremely well.
As for an explicit list of things to do, I would recommend (in this order, more or less)
important later on)
Hopefully, that gets you started off, but for 110A it may be worth the time to learn Einstein summation notation -- it'll come in handy.
Good luck!

I didn't take any lower division classes here but the upper division classes are pretty great. I haven't really had any bad professors and they seem to be a lot better at teaching than the professors in my upper division physics courses were.
The quarter system isn't bad. I think it's actually a good pace and the courses that have more than 10 weeks of content are 2 or 3 quarters long, which is great because it means you're not stuck in a class that you hate for very long.
The difficulty depends entirely on the professor, but I haven't had a class that was super difficult and uncurved. Curves always seem fair for the difficulty of the class. Finals are usually fair but midterms really suck because they're only 50 minutes long. You will probably do horrible on a few of them before you figure out a way to make it work. We have a much cushier path to upper division than most schools. Instead of being dumped into linear algebra or real analysis and having to learning how to do proofs, we have an intro to proofs and logic prerequisite and another class where you essentially just practice proof techniques that you will use in analysis later. I loved it because it let me focus on the material in my more challenging classes without having to figure out the mechanics and techniques of general proof writing.
One thing to keep in mind is that upper division math is nothing whatsoever like the math that you're probably used to. You essentially start over and learn things correctly, and you usually have to pretend that you don't know anything that you've learned over the past 14 years of math classes outside of basic arithmetic and algebra. You will be writing paragraphs in plain English with occasional math symbols. It's all about taking definitions and theorems that you know and using them to argue that other theorems are true. It's a lot more fun than it sounds. If you want to get a feel for what it's going to be like, check out this book:
http://www.amazon.com/How-Prove-Structured-Approach-2nd/dp/0521675995/
It's easy to find elsewhere. You don't need to know anything to get started and it's actually really fun to work through. This was the textbook for my intro to proofs class.
Yeah, that's not good - I'd feel sick too if I heard a roommate say that to their partner, and I'm glad you're trying to think about what you can do. I also understand that you don't want to mess up your roommate situation. Do you have any mutual friends with him or her, or do you know any of their friends who seem like decent people? You could ask the friend to talk to them about the relationship (and to keep confidential that you were the person who mentioned something was wrong).
You might also benefit from reading up about abusive relationship dynamics, to help you figure out whether to intervene (and how to intervene). It's helpful to have this knowledge - you never know if you might need it for helping a friend someday. The book Why Does He Do That? is well-recommended for this topic.
I applaud you actually deciding to respond with substance rather than attacks. Here is my response on a point-by-point basis:

It was clear to his wife Melissa that Buckley wasn't going to change on his own. She reached out to Arno Michaelis, a man who had been in Buckley's shoes. Michaelis was once a neo-Nazi skinhead. He had a drastic change in mind and heart in the early 2000's. Now Michaelis spreads messages of inclusion and forgiveness and helps other people get out of hate groups. He flew from Wisconsin to Lafayette, Ga. to help Buckley leave behind the hateful life he was leading.

Q: "What changed your mind and why did you quit?"
A: "Life has a way of kicking your ass when you make bad or stupid decisions. I think after a few of these ass kickings you start looking at yourself critically. This happened to me, and once I accepted that I wasn't right about a few things from there my whole belief system kind of unraveled. At this same time, I met some black individuals who unwittingly played a part in the saga."
On the political compass I lie in the liberal lower left hand quadrant, even if I am close to the libertarian quadrant.

My online history has been suspect in regards to my rhetoric in the past. You have me there. But in my defense, I have a long history of having respectful and rational conversations with a wide variety of people and organizations, including some that hold views I am staunchly opposed to. In the past few years I have participated in debates and discussion with my very leftist AP Comp and APUSH classes at my high school, debated the UCSB College Republicans on Universal Basic Income and a few other issues, among other things. I intend to attend UCSB Campus Democrats meetings once I'm back in Santa Barbara and will also be talking with the co-chairs of the Multi-Cultural Center on some of the disagreements I have with them.
I recommend buying the teacher’s edition of the textbook. It’s been a few years since I taken the class but back when I took it the teachers edition was like 15 bucks on amazon vs way more for the regular edition. The answers to the practice problems in the teachers edition are way more in depth than the answers in the back of the regular edition and really and helped me understand where I was making mistakes without having to wait for hw grades to come in. Even if it’s an earlier edition, the content is probably almost identically but the chapters may be out of order.
I just checked Amazon and couldn’t find the full teacher’s edition but here’s another resource that’s pretty much just as good. I think the only difference is that it has the odd numbered problems answered rather than the even. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0073107816/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XmyTDb8AH53W2
Try looking on the course webpages such as for CS 31 and CS 32. Attempt to do the problems before learning the material for CS 33. This will test your understanding and solidify what you already know. Some of their homework problems are extremely challenging, but in most cases, the homework problems will not change from year to year that much. This means that if you start now, you will be done with the homework by the time you get here. This is awesome because your grade for these classes are all from your homework. The textbooks used for these courses are RHK, K&K, and Feynman.
While you're at it, you might want to start learning linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, vector calculus, and partial differential equations.

A lot of this stuff you can just do yourself. Doesn't need to be near UCSB, or anywhere really.
I would just get the OEM rubber inserts/replacements from ebay or amazon or something for the car you have. The OEM wipers tend to be most compatible so simply replacing the consumables is all that's needed. No need to pay someone to slide some rubber out and in.
I also usually keep something like these in the spare tire compartment.

Intermediate Microeconomics, 8e by Varian
I dug up the schedule from the syllabus. The content shouldn't change much from professor to professor.
To me, the most important was chapter 4. Everything before it built up to it, almost everything after it was a spin-off of the material.
Tests were 50% MC, 50% free response. The questions were 90% concept-based math and equations, 10% definition-based questions. I found this in my Econ 10A folder; unfortunately I didn't save any other practice sets. Your experience may vary.
I'll have to agree with /u/MistaPickle that quite a few econ majors struggle with the math concepts. I am a stats major, math minor and I found the calculus in this class pretty chill but the econ graduate TAs struggled with it, and even the professor toned down the math explanations. I found that this hurt the learning experience. If you have trouble with it, I'd suggest going to CLAS sessions with Ed.
