This class was easy for me as I had a lot of prior knowledge due to taking AP Chem in high school. Reading the textbook in addition to going to class was EXTREMELY USEFUL. Study Edge and the practice problems at the end of each chapter were also crucial for doing well on exams

This class discusses kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, precipitation, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Useful for a premed student going into orgo chem.

Both Professors were enthusiastic about the course. I liked Prof Veige a bit more due to his PowerPoints following along exactly with the textbooks which made it easier to read ahead. Prof Cao's accent can be hard to understand and his part of the course took a bit more self-teaching in order to do well.

Reading the textbook, doing practice problems at the end of each chapter, and study edge.
