I HATED Gen chem. I had mukundan 1st semester and Macphail second semester. I got good grades, but I HATED the classes and how they were taught. I took AP Chem in high school so luckily I didn’t have to rely on their boring and useless lectures to inform me of what we were supposed to be learning. I didn’t like Mukundan so I took MacPhail second semester and he was even worse. It just turned me off to the chem department, which I was good at and had planned on majoring in, and I ended up majoring in two disciplines in the humanities (go figure).

I know some people who actually like chem, but it is mostly a pre-med department - you will be hard-pressed to find chem majors - they are really rare because it seems like all anyone uses the chem department for is prereqs for med school.
