This class is very challenging. Professor Casey has a unique teaching style that I personally did not click with. She was not straightforward with her lectures or with her homework. I felt confused taking this class because I did not know exactly what to study and in what order. This class requires extreme effort to do well, as in actually going to office hours. The pdf of the textbook is on the ucla textbook page for free. I would recommend buying the solutions manual for the homework problems as they are helpful step by step guides and taught me more than anything else. Always do all of the problems recommended. Do not forget to turn in the CPR assignment-- which actually sucks. It is an actual writing assignment in a chemistry class and for south campus majors like me this is not okay. Chemistry is hard and Casey is liked and disliked but I would not recommend her.

I loved her class. I was so worried about taking chemistry in college, but her class made me feel more confident in my abilities. At the beginning, the class definitely was difficult, but Dr. Casey wants you to succeed. If you are struggling, just go talk to her.

14AE--To pass up a class taught by Dr. Casey is a huge mistake. She is one of the most wonderful professors I have ever had the privilege of learning from. She is extremely knowledgeable and clear, and never turns down a question. But what I loved most about Dr. Casey is her dedication to the students. Everything she did was to help us in any way she could. She cares more about you as an individual more than content, and that is hard to find in stem classes. Her class was fair and manageable, and I found all of the work worthwhile (no busy work). I urge you to take a class from Dr. Casey, you will NOT regret it!
