Life changing

After listening to this I've become excited enough to pursue university studies in chemistry! I high recommend this course. Professor Davis gives detailed history of chemistry at a pace that keeps the course moving but educates the listener and maintains interest. The included PDF file is a great aid to the audio, definitely download!

Trying to figure out an interest for study has been quite difficult. There are so many different fields that interest me. While listening to Chemistry and our Universe, the processes and history were told in a way that made anything seem attainable through chemistry. This pinpointed my interest. Many times I almost jump off my equipment at work getting so excited about some of the information! Now my mind is racing with all new ideas and questions!

Long

Long, but you survive. Lots of boaring an interesting parts or is chemistry after all.

Thanjs

If he could have left out climate change nonsense, it would have been perfect
Thanks

Fascinating and engaging

This was sn excellent, comprehensive, and thoroughly enjoyable introduction to all things chemistry-related. I highly recommend it.

A nice surprise

I am a chemistry professor, and I originally bought this to compare his lecturing style to my own. The lectures are very high quality, and the content is extremely well delivered. I will borrow some explanations and examples for my courses, and I like the flow and pacing of the material. A good 1st year introductory course for those so inclined.

Covers a lot

This course is an extensive look of Chemistry. You should go through this with the attached pdf to really understand this.

Very Good, Very Organized. Loved It

Narration is great. Might be me, but the Great Course professors basically have the same voice. Its Good.

The content is awesome and will educate. Its well organized. The book also evolves as a story, the Professor is indeed great.

I would have enjoyed Chemistry much more with this professor. I was AP Chem in High School, but decided not to major in Chemical Engineering. Now, I wish I had tripled up in Mechanical/Electrical/Chemical Engineering versus just one. This is a 5-Star Wonderful, Interesting, and Educational audio book.

GREAT SERIES!!!!

Incredibly well put together. What an excellent opportunity to understand what our universe is made of and the things around us how they work on my chemical basis.

Amazing

Very good reader, much better than the biology guy. They need to do other courses like this one.

Great leture wrong medium

Fantastic lectures, but most involve lab experiments you can’t see to reenforce the material. We formatted, just hard to grasp without the visuals
