CHEM 636
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Prepare to be confused, spend so much time, and drained. This course is not difficult but she is gonna make you move among so many resources and homework, without learning much.

CHEM 636
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
A perfect example for "what a bad lecturer looks like". Gets you involved in so many HWs (1/week), quizzes (1/week), demos (1, or 2/week), and lecture classes, reads from a powerpoint without explaining any concept deeply, and mid-Oct, already exhausted. In-person experiments are once a week (about 2 hours), along with many other tasks.
