REVIEW

What advice would you give to someone considering taking this course?

Bob: Pretty Chill, need to have good organic chemistry mechanism intuition, bellcurve is flat.

What did you enjoy or find most useful from this course?

Bob: Very interesting insights from mechanisms, types of reactions possible, ways to make complex molecules using very novel methods.

What aspects of the course did you find most challenging, and why?

Bob: Requires good memory work due to the many different types of reactions and catalysis.

What resources did you find most helpful in helping you better understand the course material?

Bob: Doing the tutorials and reviewing course lectures are enough.

What other courses do you think should be taken before or concurrently with this module?

Bob: Taking after CM3121/CM3221 helps alot.
