How hard is principles of chemistry? I'm thinking about taking a summer course and knocking it out.. I've done well in my other science prerequisites, so I think I'll be ok. I just want to prepared on what to expect!

You need strong math skills. It's not a terribly hard course if you are strong in math but if you aren't its hell. I'm getting an A but I bought a study solver guide to drill myself on how to set up and solve the equations and conversions :)

If you don't work or have kids I think it's doable over the summer. Maybe if you even work part-time. I'm taking it this semester and I work full-time and have 2 younger kids and its manageable. I'm also taking an online sociology class. It does have a lot of math and formulas but as long as you practice your problems then you will do great. I was very scared about taking it because I kept reading everyone saying how hard it was but you just have to have confidence, you can do it if you put your mind to it!

I work FT and have 2 small kids and I took chem last summer. I did fine. It was a lot of work, but it was great to get it taken care of. It did have some math, but it's not rocket science ;) if you've done well in your science pre-reqs, I think you'll be fine!
