I retook this course in my second year after failing it in the first year. Honestly the worst part about it is mainly that this course is on first year first term only, no preparation for you. But I still barely handled it this time. It's really tough. I got 58% in midterm 1, I thought I'm screwed, but I found out the course average was 48%. The midterm 2 was much easier and final was moderate. So get ready to fail it. Try to register this course with some easy courses, it takes a lot of time to study. Last year it had 4 in class quizzes for marks. But this year there were only 4 assignments (online quizzes), so much easier.

I've written in my last year's review.

She's ok and kind. I didn't rely on her and basically studied by myself though.

To get a pass, you'll need to do all the exercise questions on chirp, that's the bottom line. You have to understand the concepts and logics in the questions Besides that, do as many practices as you can. Memorization in this course is helpless. Also, when you do the practice exams, time yourself. You will only have 1 hour in midterms. The final is much better. You need to memorize the conversions of eV and Å, they are not on the formula sheet.

This course was just a waste of time. It just sucks, no matter how hard you try it doesn't matter.

It was not useful. I'm a dental student I don't need to be learning about quantum mechanics, this is not physics.

She assumes everyone will become a chemist and yells at the class if they get a clicker question wrong. She's very passionate and seems like she loves her job but is a total jackass sometimes.

No matter how much you liked chem in highschool this course will make you hate it. You will also cry at least a few times. Also, be prepared to fail a midterm or two because the midterms are unfair. The lab section is also like a whole class in itself, everytime I had an EDF due I swear I had to spend a whole day on it.

awful. No further context is needed.

It's completely useless if you're not in science or do not like or tend to major in chemistry.

She assumes everyone is majoring in chemistry, which is extremely incorrect.

BE prepared to not to have a good grade.

THIS COURSE IS AWFUL. Do not take it if you do not need to.

Totally useless. WTF WAS THAT. why are we doing physics? They have made this course harder each year for no reason.

my prof was okay she was happy all the time

Be prepared to cry. a lot. like everyday.

Big middle finger to this course! Clearly they used this course as a filter. One of the worst experience. 1. Lecture: Why should I study quantum mechanics my freshman year? I was completely unable to understand the Schrödinger equation, what wave-particle duality is, and what electron orbits are, which immediately made me fall into learned helplessness! And don’t expect professors to help you because you’ll always be in line (And due to the lack of a lot of basic knowledge, the professor cannot help you understand)! I looked up the Chem 121 exams from 2006 and that was just Chem 11 things! And now the same course is about quantum mechanics! Moreover, the content of the exam and the content of the simulation exercises are not at the same level at all; if the practice asks you to play airp...read more

The first chapter is about Valence Electrons, and then we understand quantum mechanics, such as Schrödinger's formula, wave-particle duality, photons, electron orbits, etc. Also, the labs in this class have nothing to do with the lecture portion, you're basically taking two classes. The second experiment is about titration, and this is the only one that will be tested in the final.

He's not doing great but not doing bad either. It's more like this course itself is lame.

1. You got ONLY 1 shot. This course only opens in term 1 in year 1, if you fail it you can't take it again because they only consider winter session courses when applying the major. 2. Be prepared BEFORE uni. You'd better learn or preview basic stuff about quantum mechanics as well as other basic chemistry , and practice doing exams. And, you'd better gain a good understanding and skill of labs. 3. Don't take Math with it. You won't need math for bio majors, won't need chem for math/cs majors. You'll be exhausted with math+chem like I was. Choose your major before choosing term 1 courses. Also, don't take English/Writing with it either(unless you are experienced). 4. If you're like me, a very average normal guy, with no talent, no accumulation of chem knowledge or learning ability, I re...read more

Boring

No

She doesn’t try to make your life hard but the content of the course is a waste of time.
