This course is average. Take only if you're pre-med. You're guaranteed a good grade as long as you do the work. Get along with your lab groups!!!!

This should never have been a 2 credit class. Ever. It is too much for work for that. You work in groups (which isn't so bad), but there are no lab lectures prior to actual lab time, so everyone is pretty much clueless as to what is going on. There are 4 lab reports you have to write and I think the TAs are told to grade harshly because our averages were around 70-75 and then there are the dreaded Mathematica assignments, which you should never work on the night before it's due. Just stay on top of your work and hope that you're doing above average and you'll get a decent grade. Contrary to popular belief, there is no curve.

don't take unless required. chem department is baadd. still easy, cookbook chemistry.
