CHEM 102
General Chemistry I
5*****
The teacher is amazing and enthusiastic but the discussion section is kind of lame but helps. This course is a necessity but to make it easier I suggest this teacher.

CHEM 103
General Chemistry Lab I
4****
Pros: Online videos/walkthroughs were somewhat helpful in understanding what the heck you were supposed to do when you arrived at lab.
Cons: The workload was very heavy for a 1 hour class. The labs were re-done for my year, and many of them had to be adjusted after the first few sections couldn't finish them. Thank god I was on Thursday!
