Emma Guiberson

I took AP Chemistry and found this course significantly harder than AP Chem. Yes, the course covered fewer materials than AP Chemistry, but the concepts they did dive into had less depth. Lab was especially difficult. Lab class took up 80% of my time in Chemistry and made it very difficult for me to get my other classes done.

the class is pretty math heavy but very doable. I didn't take AP chemistry and I haven't had much trouble keeping up with everything. Prof Guiberson is super nice and accommodating. There are 3 main tests.

General chemistry is almost exactly the same curriculum as AP Chemistry. I did not learn anything new, so it was not very challenging. Professor Guiberson is very knowledgeable but is hard to have as a lecture professor because she goes very quickly through slides and doesn't really explain the process of how she does certain calculations. She is more helpful in office hours. I would say do the textbook reading because it supplements lecture very well, especially if you have Guiberson. Her tests were very fair and only included things from lecture. I overall enjoyed the class but also AP Chem prepared me very well.
