The class moves too slowly for my liking, and almost all the information is just common sense. Readings are usually not gone over in class, and the exams are extremely easy. However, the lab portion was really enjoyable (with Lapin). He was easy to talk to and would give great feedback on how to improve. The only hard part of this class was lab reports which usually take a few hours to complete.

I took IB in high school so most of the contents from the class so far was pretty much covered in IB ESS. There is lots of reading though not many were mentioned or discussed in class. I like how we would have access to slides earlier every week

This course is very difficult but very worthy of its place in the chem department. After this class I feel much more solid working in the lab, analyzing data, and writing lab reports. Prepare to struggle through pre-labs, journal-style lab reports, quizzes, an instrument presentation, and lab work. I frequently visited the lab and office hours outside of the allotted class time. I took an easy course load in addition to this class and am thankful I did because this class demands time and brainpower in order to succeed. Molly and Kira are tough graders, but opportunities to revise lab reports are built in to the class, allowing for growth. They are generally willing to help those who work hard, get excited about class material, and come to them for help.
