A lot of work for a 1-credit class. Lab reports, mathematica work, and actual labs were all not super fun. If you're reading this, you probably have no choice but to take the class. If you put forth effort you can get an A.

This class is DANGEROUS!!! It operates in this limbo where the workload isn't light enough that you can put it off till the very last minute, but it isn't enough work for you to actually prioritize it and care about it. I did poorly because I missed a lot of deadlines. I know plenty of other people who did fine since the class is not difficult, but the labs are boring to a mind-numbing extent. Just remember to give yourself plenty of time for the assignments since some of them took way longer than anticipated.

This course is unnecessarily difficult and should not be an engineering requirement. Just try to make sure that you complete all parts of the report and listen to your ta's feedback on previous reports

The course was very unstructured and the TAs took off points on the most random things, but the labs/workload was definitely manageable, and most people got As with my TA. I don't actually know what Prof Grisham looks like, since most of the time is spent with graduate TAs, but they were all nice and understanding.

I had a negative experience with this class. You do not interact with Prof. Grisham at all, but rather with your TA. I had a real problem with the way the course is structured. Assignments seemed to be given for no real reason but to trip up students, forcing us to just try and meet guidelines rather than learn chemistry. For example, most lab reports had sections which were not taught in lecture, which resulted in straight Googling. Grading is needlessly picky and especially the engineering lab drags on for far too long (3.5 hours!). The workload was more than what you would expect a 1 credit course to be. Avoid if possible.

This class was pretty bad. You mainly interact with your TA, so depending on that is how your grade will be. The class is more about learning chem techniques and trying to salvage your grade than actually learning chem. Definitely do not take this if you don't have to.

The lab reports are a pain to write and the grading is tough. Not an enjoyable class and significantly more work than its one credit hour suggests.

I would avoid taking this class if at all possible. Unfortunately, it is required as the professor that allowed exemption via lab notebook has retired. It's a class that you forget about until you need to attend it, and even then, it wasn't particularly enjoyable. It is entirely run by the TA's, which can really make or break your grade depending on how strict they are with the rubrics. I'd say just tough it out and hope you come out alright, as some of the material is a bit hard to remember if you are exempt from CHEM 1610 via credit.

Useless course. Do not take it unless you have to.

I hated this class the most. It's true with you hear about Grisham, he is an extremely rude unaccommodating guy. Though you arent going to see him really because you'll be interacting with your TA's instead, there can also be problems there. Your grade is dependent on how your TA's grade, and you can easily get screwed. I hated this class and it really put me off from any chem labs.
