REVIEWS

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

Anonymous: It depends on what you are aiming for, I wouldn't overload if I was aiming for A-.

​

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

​Anonymous: I enjoyed the labs, they made me realize how weak I was at chemistry in practice. I thought 6 hour labs are too long, but I did took almost 6 hour for each lab, because I couldn't follow the instructions well. I think understanding the steps (like why they do that) would help speed up the process and help you make less mistakes.

​

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

Anonymous: The first half (Spectroscopy) was much easier than the second half (Organic Reactions and Mechanisms), despite both having similar teaching time. I did fairly well for the first half and labs, so I underestimated the second half, procrastinated and it pulled my grade heavily due to the 50% final exam (and no S/U too :C )
 

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

Anonymous: Youtube, ChatGPT, Clayden's exercise and lecture/tutorial exercises.

Anonymous: I took only CHS mods along with this because I was afraid that it's hard. It actually turned out to be hard for me at least.
