CHEM 1410

I hear he's the easiest out of the three, but he has to be the most tiresome. Quizzes are pretty difficult, lecture at 9am is hideously boring, but overall not a terrible class. If you took chem in high school and actually learned something, it shouldn't be that bad. Don't take it if you're looking to fulfill a nat. sci requirement. Take something that isn't used to weed out pre-med students.

By the end of the semester I realized that going to the lectures isn't really necessary. Just read the book and do the homework.

It's chemistry, so it can't be but so much fun. I love his accent so it makes the class a bit easier. Some of his lectures seem to drag on, but overall I would recommend him because I did learn a lot and he tries to answer any questions after class.

Read, takes notes. Quizzes are sometimes tricky. Attend the recitations before quizzes, they actually help.

Easy as balls, as long as you stay on top of the reading the book and doing all the recommended problems. Hard if you slack off and don't read until days before the quiz. Tricky quizes, so you have to know everything covered in book. Lectures useless but important to go to just to get exposed to the material. Loved the class, an A is definitely possible if you manage time well. I will hopefully get either an A,A-, or B+ depending on final, and I kinda slacked off in the beginning, just to give you a perspective.

Great teacher. He brings in models to explain topics. Make sure to read the chapters before he covers it in class.

hard material, great teacher

Dr. Gerrans is just wonderful. He is the best among three intro CHEM teachers. His quizzes are easy if you know your material (book). His lectures are clear. He is really nice like a grandfather and patient. DO TAKE HIS CLASS if you are premed!! =)

Probably the best intro chem professor for all the premeds taking it

Great class, Gerrans is who you want. Can be boring at times but he's very helpful and accessible.
