Highlights from this course included the interesting and engaging material, thorough lecture notes provided by the teacher and in-depth lectures and labs. The worst aspects of the course included the computer labs that tended to run over schedule and the lack of cumulative tests. More cumulative reviews or tests along with shorter computer labs were suggested ways to improve the course. Overal , prospective students should know this course was highly recommended to both chemistry and biology majors.
