Do not do this subject if there is still online learning. Some lecturers are good, but the limited amount of resources is so bad. The only form of "notes" for 1/2 the topics are the lecture notes which are so confusing to read as they are not neat and you are overwhelmed with colours. They seriously just made us watch the 2019 lectures rather than rerecording lectures specifically for students who cannot attend lectures due to corona virus. So hard to follow, especially when most the time the lecturer is referring to stuff on the slide and you don't know what they're referring to, because on the day they had a laser and now you are watching the lecturer for the previous year and some of them are too lazy to re record or offer drop in sessions if you don't understand something :) 2 out of 4 of the lecturers however did hold drop in sessions and were much more helpful, though this unit was not very collaborative and some of the TA's for the labs were seriously unhelpful.

I can't fault this unit really, it's easily one of the most well organised units I've ever taken. Assessment is well paced throughout the semester so you don't get swamped with assessment all in the same week like with some units. Lecturers are fantastic and really engaging. Also the fact that they hand out notes for every subtopic throughout the semester is a fantastic bonus as there's no prescribed textbook for this subject. Would highly recommend for anyone majoring in chem!

A well organised unit. Lab components are interesting and helpful on understanding the lecture contents & its application to the real world. Not all but most of the TAs are surprisingly professional and helpful. Overall, a recommended unit for those who likes inorganic and organic chemistry. Not too difficult but not easy as well.

This course has an amazing unit coordinator, Tina. Shes always available to email and if shes not she will redirect you to someone else to assist you. The lecture series has 4 parts: transition metals, organomettalic chem, and then two sections of organic chem. All the sections come with printed notes/lecture slides and embedded in the lectures are worked examples and questions for you to attempt. the organic section of the course is very challenging and mainly focuses on reaction mechanisms.
