very interesting class, but manageable! i expected it to feel more like a stem class in that i would be stressing over quizzes and things of the sort but only thing that was of any worry was the homework. midterms were completely fine and so was the final, was very fair. the book is optional but highly recommended, in my case i was not able to read the book, but from my friends in the class who did they found it easier.

Courseware was required to do homework. Easy class due to online exams. Overall did not learn much from the class or lectures and relied on AP Chem knowledge.

She's a very lovely person, but it feels like the lectures don't have much to do with the homework and the homework is loosely correlated to the exams. But she's very nice and so the exams aren't hard, but you have to teach yourself the content to do the homework and the content itself is quite hard (especially without prior knowledge in chem).

Confusing and irrelevant lectures but the tests were very easy and there was an online test option for all tests.

Easy class, but lab reports are time consuming

The lectures were unorganized and unhelpful but the midterms and final were ok.

The lectures were not very helpful for the homework, so outside reading is required.
Midterms were online and multiple-choice, it was a lot more application than memorization.

Prof. Kavner is such a sweet person. However, she isn't that good at teaching this course. The content covered in lectures wasn't that relevant to what was on the homework, and I stopped going to lectures in Week 3 because it wasn't worth waking up for a 9 am lecture that wouldn't really be that beneficial. I bet she's an amazing professor for the Earth, Planetary, and Space Science classes since she would mention stuff about that during the lectures that I went to, but I wouldn't recommend her for general chemistry at all. My AP Chem knowledge mainly carried me through the homework, and the homework also shows you how to solve a problem if you get it wrong so I used that for whatever AP Chem didn't help me with.

She was not the best professor but tests very easy.
