I really enjoyed this class. Professor Prado taught this class along with Professor Caram and Casey, but she was the main one who lectured and taught the class. She took on the class last minute as our initial professor could no longer do so (she began teaching Friday of week 1).
She uses slides that are posted on CCLE, but she writes on the slides during lecture, so I'd recommend attending class. There are clicker questions during lecture and it's hard not to get full credit; there are bunch of opportunities and you get half a point just for participating. There are weekly quizzes (Friday during lecture) which aren't too bad. I didn't read the textbook too much but used it more as a reference if I didn't understand something. There are HWs for every lecture but they don't have to be turned in.
I really like Dr. Prado and the class overall. She's really nice and very approachable. She is one my favorite professors here at UCLA and I think the class overall was appropriately paced. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Prado was a great lecture with really through and easy to understand slides that I've been referencing through the rest of the 14 series. Midterm and final were open note and on Gradescope, they were pretty fair and she offers lots of extra practice material. She said she used to use iClicker, but decided to stop this quarter (rip participation points), so attendance was only mandatory for discussion where you would work on a worksheet in a group. Would take again, and probably study more this time.
Having taken AP Chemistry before, this class was basically a breeze. Since it was online all the exams were open note, canvas, and internet. The lectures are long but definitely understandable and she gives good examples to practice. There was a slight disconnect between homework problems and the exams but if you just brush up using the slides you should be fine.
If you know what equation to use and when, then you'll do well in the class. I wouldn't say that Prado is a tough professor, but sometimes she was unclear about some things and it was a bit frustrating. If you take notes on readings, then the readings take FOREVER, but I realized that as long as I paid attention in class, knew the learning objectives, clicker questions, homework problems, and worksheets, then the readings aren't really necessary except for occasional clarification. Office hours are packed and not very helpful because there are so many people and it's really cramped. The LAs in discussion answered my questions the best. Prado is really kind and cares about her students and listens to them.
