Chemistry
Chem 1301
Professor: F.S. Lee, P.J. Ragogna
Description: An introduction to the foundational principles of chemical structure and properties, emphasizing their relevance to modern science. Topics include: atomic structure, theories of chemical bonding, structure and stereochemistry of organic molecules, and structure of coordination complexes.
Textbook Readings Required: highlighting the physical workbook is useful for exam review
Our Feedback:​
-
Reading the lab notes/procedure prior to your lab will make the lab go much smoother
-
Go to the resource room!!! The chem TAs are super helpful and are happy to answer your questions and go over specific topics
-
The back of the lab book has really great practice problems and past exams that are extremely beneficial
-
I found writing directly in the workbook during lecture most beneficial as it allowed me to actively listen during class (might be different because of online studies)
Chem 1302
Professor: Z.Ding, Y. Song, V.N. Staroverov & Y.S. Hedberg
Description: An examination of how the fundamentals of energetics influence chemical processes. Topics include: gases, thermodynamics and thermochemistry, chemical equilibria, solubility, weak acids and bases, electrochemistry, and chemical kinetics.
Textbook Readings Required: Yes
Our Feedback:​
-
Practice, practice, practice! Do workbook problems and past exams, but look for even more practice online.
-
Unlike chem 1301 that focuses more on concepts, chem 1302 is a more general review of grade 12 chemistry where your mark is directly related to how much time you dedicate to the practice problems.
