If you know nothing about chemistry, then you will have a VERY difficult time in this course. I did very poorly because I came from a high school that didn't pave a great foundation in Chemistry. Also, I'm really bad at math, so doing some of the equations confused and frustrated me. Often times the professor will skip the first part of a theory he's teaching because "you should have already learned it."
If you're dedicated and maybe know a thing or two about Chemistry, then you'll do fine. But I recommend a tutor if you're even slightly hesitant. I wish I had gotten one.

I took this class in 2015 and have materials for the course. For all pre-meds I'm selling custom made MCAT Full-Lengths with explanations taken from all of the resources the AAMC offers so the questions are taken from the question packs, section banks etc. This way you get a FULL Length taken from AAMC which is most reliable source and you don't have to purchase the material separately. Contact **********.
Taking this class was a mistake. After reading all the great reviews about him, they were all a lie. This class was extremely hard and I don't remember anything. The topics were so detailed and the questions were so confusing. I would not take 14A with Scerri!
Professor Scerri's class will leave you wondering if you can apply some of the material at all. The class begins with an introduction to Scerri's specially, the Periodic Table. So, expect to spend the first week or so learning about that. To get a good grade, buy a course reader and study it. Take it to lecture and fill in any notes Scerri may have left out or any material that he highlights. Often times, things that are empathized in lecture show up exactly on the exams. As well, in the back of the course reader are plenty of old exam questions that are very similar to his exams. Overall, this class wasn't hard, there are maybe 2-3 home works and one midterm.
I've always been the kind of student that reads almost EVERY SINGLE Bruinwalk review for ALL the possible professors I could take before signing up for a class. When I read the reviews for Scerri, some of them weren't very great. After taking his 14A class and enrolling in his 14B class, I can say that Scerri is a fair professor. He might be snarky and somewhat intimidating, but he's not trying to make people feel bad--he's just kind of blunt sometimes. And it's clear that he enjoys what he teaches. He always makes sure to tell everyone that he sticks around for a while after each lecture to answer any questions. Also, his course reader/past exams pretty much cover everything you need to know for the exams. It also helps that he Bruincasts his lectures. I can see that he doesn't go into very much detail about the material, but I don't regret taking his class.
Also, if Lisa P. is TAing for him, try to sign up for her discussion section! She's absolutely wonderful!! She explains things clearly and really cares about making sure that the students are getting the most out of the discussions.
P.S. If you took AP Chem, you will have an easy time in this class.
