i have never had Johnson for Chem, so I can’t speak to the quality of her teaching but I am finishing up Chem 6b with Pomeroy in Summer Session I right now. Here are my impressions; although 6b is generally regarded “the hardest” out of the gen chem series, the material has a lot of continuity (topics build on each other) unlike 6a where you jumped around from Quantum Theory to Thermodynamics, so in that regard I think it is easier to follow. There are 9 chapters that need to be covered so you are essentially going over two chapters a week and most likely taking a test every week. The workload is somewhat intense but I have managed to do well so if you work hard, I definitely think you can do it.
