CHM1011

You can add CHM1011 to your StudentVIP account to find textbooks, tutors and more.

Having never done Chemistry before this unit was quite challenging but the lecturers (particularly Chris and Kellie) were very clear and engaging in their delivery. The labs were a lot of fun and really helped cement my understanding of the content even though I probably had to do more extra reading than others completing the unit. CHM1011 inspired me to challenge myself in CHM1022.

This unit is described as suitable for people with no prior knowledge of chemistry. I disagree, especially with regards to the labs. If you haven't done chemistry before be prepared to put in a HUGE amount of effort. It's doable, but you will need to study hard.

Lots of physics related chemistry, very difficult for someone who had never done chemistry before. Most of the lecturers are great but a few are really hard to understand and honestly terrible, so if you get those lectuers I suggest not even bothering with your own lecture time and attending a different stream. Probably important to do all of the reading as well as extra worksheets provided on MOODLE and in the textbook

Good subject, but if you haven't done chem before - especially if you're looking to get high marks - take a vce-equivalent course first. There are some short, relatively inexpensive ones available online. I jumped in with no HS chem under my belt, but a good deal of biology and some basic chem knowledge. Even with the additional material they provide, it was a challenge to keep up. Worth it though, so persevere!

Really interesting subject and good lecturers for most of the time, but quite difficult if you have little/no chemistry knowledge especially the lab reports.
