Chem 2PD3
Is there any one who took this course and can provide a course breakdown or a course review. How is the prof and the workload of this course? It would be much appreciated if anyone can put up a course outline.

Dr. Saravanamuttu has been teaching this course for several years now and she is really nice and very approachable.

The course is divided into 2/3 equilibrium a 1/3 kinetics. The amount of material is quite large because equilibrium and kinetics used to be two separate courses in chemistry, but they condensed them into one course. It is mostly concepts with equations to help develop the concepts further, but you don't need to know a lot of math, just basic derivation and integration.

Lectures notes are posted and the course consists of a few assignments, two midterms, and an exam.

As for grades, you can get a 12 if you put some effort into it.

How about for those who consider themselves weak in calculus? That scares me quite a bit.
