Dr. Pesterfield is by far the best professor I have had at Western. He really, really cares about his students and wants them to succeed in any field (in the sciences) that he/she chooses. However, he does this by challeging you, and testing you to see if you really want it. Do you really want to be a doctor, dentist, researcher, etc?
This class really puts you to the test, and gives you the idea of how the next few chemistry classes you are going to take are going to be...pretty hard, but not impossible.
This class is hard only because of all the material you have to absorb in such a short amount of time. However, if you spend AT LEAST an hour a day doing chemistry problems, copying notes, looking at old exams, you will be fine. But you have to look at chemistry everyday. Everyday. Everyday. (If I didn't say "everyday" enough...).
Dr. Pesterfield tells you in class and hints at what is going to be on the exams. Be mindful of that, and never be too shy or too proud to go ask him for help, because he loves questions and he wants to see people ask questions and succeed in his class. I went to his office hours everyday for the first two weeks and he never got tired of me, and he's more of a good friend and advisor rather than my "chemistry professor".
You can do it, it's going to be hard, but after the first few weeks, you'll be fine. I came out with above an A in the class (he had a 40 point extra quiz), and anyone can do that as long as you put the work in.
Good luck =)
