Good course. Useful as it’s needed to take organic chem. Lots of work required to get a good mark and lots of studying required. The questions from tests and exam are a good mix of easy to hard. Lectures and modules were easy to follow and had practice questions. Mastering chem questions were annoying and sometimes difficult but not too hard. The labs were tedious but not hard and post lab quizzes are a bit challenging to do well on. The content quizzes required lots of studying and can be challenging. The content itself is almost identical to IB chem but with a few new concepts. There are a lot of units to cover compared to CHEM 1AA3.

Profs were good at going over content but some were slower than others. Dr Chen is a bit tough to understand

Study a lot for this course and you should do well. Also attend the Wize chemistry practice sessions.

Dr Chen and Chibba.

More math-based than 1AA3, which means some people find it more difficult, but I found this course decently fair when I took it. The labs were also rather chill and an easy way to earn high marks.

Chibba is an icon, enough said.

Past midterms are the best way to study for the tests and keep up with the weekly quizzes.
