Dr. Courey was pretty nice and a relatively good lecturer, but the class itself was not my favorite. Topics are not too hard and exams were pretty fair. Pretty much what you would expect from a typical premed course. If you like chem, you should be fine
Honestly, he is a sweet old man. He can be kinda cranky sometimes though. If it wasn't for my TA, Mariah, I would not have done as well. You need to do a lot of worksheets for this class. Discussions are an hour longer than regular.
