The contents aren't too difficult, but you should expect devoting a lot of time in homework assignments, which is like a small project each. Attend lectures definitely saves your time.

Note: Only take CHEM 111 if you are serious about learning how to analyze real chemical kinetic data computationally. This is an excellent course that will teach you a lot and leave you with great, practical materials to use for analyzing kinetic data, but know that it is a hard, fast-paced class with heavy use of Mathematica.

Great professor. He certainly has high standards & expectations, but he puts a lot of time & effort into the class materials to help you. He appreciates when the class is prepared & participates in discussions & will call on people if it gets too quiet. Don't be intimidated by him though, he is extremely willing to help any student who is trying.

All I can say is don't take his class unless you are truly passionate about chemistry or biochem. He is very smart and his classes are very hard
