Start NowChemistry is the branch of science that focuses on the study of matter, its composition and properties, and the reactions that occur to form new compounds. Owing to its complexity, this branch of science is subdivided into biochemistry, and organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry. The idea that matter is made up of individual and indivisible parts (atomos) originated in ancient Greece and is attributed to the polymath Democritus. This idea has continued to evolve throughout history. The discovery of the fundamental particles of an atom, namely protons, neutrons, and electrons, was a prominent landmark. Recently, the planetary model of the atom has been replaced by the atomic orbital theory, which better describes electrons and chemical bonds.
In this course, the student will be introduced to atoms and its components, characteristics of chemical bonds, stereochemistry, electronegativity, acid-base reactions, organic chemistry, and chemistry topics related to the medical field, including biochemistry and pharmacology. For optimal comprehension, the student is expected to have a high-school–level understanding of chemistry and physics.
Chemistry is a fundamental prerequisite to understanding the concepts of biochemistry, which is a basic science in medical education integrated with molecular and cell biology. Pharmacology is the branch of chemistry that utilizes the concepts of chemistry for the development of drugs with better safety profiles.

me gusta el video por el ritmo que maneja y dar la idea que la química es importante
These calculations were very thorough in presenting the systematic approach to breaking down Acid-Base reactions. It's almost stoichiometric, just with different underlying equations. Review questions were challenging, and the situation of having coefficients in the calculations (i.e. in the polyprotic case) we're covered explicitly
This lecture cleared up any confusion I had about the topics covered. Everything was explained that was mentioned in the video, so one wouldn't be making any assumptions to be able to comprehend.
This lecture really cleared up the differences between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for me. I knew their definitions but felt like they overlapped, and putting them into stages made it make much more sense. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Very good structure, excellent explanation, really enjoyed! Thank you very much, Dr. Gresley!!!
Dr. Adam Le Gresley is explaining perfect! Thank you very much!!!
There's some good information in here, but it definitely cannot be taught by itself and will need supplemental textbooks to fill in some of the details.
I do not like the theme so much but the professour could be more engaging
He is simple, great, and easy to follow from one topic to another
I like this course because it is very concise and the videos are broken down into small manageable chunks. I also like how I can make quality notes from the video. I feel like I have learnt a lot from them and have found them really beneficial. The only criticism I would have is that I would like for some concepts to be made a little bit clearer as feel like I am not completely understand everything. However, that could just be because I'm a college student trying to learn uni-level stuff! I really like the questions afterwards but I think it would be even better if there was an explanation as to why that is the correct answer.
A very simple way to introduce Chemistry and understand basic principles. Very good speaker & structure of the course! Congratulations!!!
Wonderful lessons, knowledgeable lecturer, however ample detail is left to be desired.
The lectures are difficult to understand due to pace and lack of subject detail
I will choose 5 star because the professor has a Good excellent explication. Let's finish the lectures.
Very easy the explain ation was very good thanks alot sir
it had good information but I just think it is too fast but overall good teaching.
Great method of teaching... i have learnt a lot from this lecture and i like it very much
Por que explicó detalladamente y con ejemplos la importancia del principio de exclusión de Pauli y que para que se cumpla en el orbital S, debemos considerar al numero cuantico spin
It is very informative and the teaching are in simple english.
Dr Adam is so clearly and slideshow has a incredible quality. Level is so hard (not for beginners) so this course must be completed after basic chemistry in High school.
It is a super complete course, I think the only thing missing is to do an exercise at the end of the class in my opinion they help the students a lot.
The explanation was quite detailed without leaving the basics. Good illustrations as well.
Every concept is not fully clear, the teacher doesn't go with mechanisms, even he doesn't use a mouse for determining about what on screen he's takin' about. For medical students.
Great content. Great performance, I would only change the speed of his speech..., a little bit fast to me. Everything else perfect!
I really like how you explain the concepts, I realized though that on some slides, there are too long sentences. Sometimes I don't really read them because I need to focus on what you say. It would be great if less words would be on the slides but in a way that is still informative. But all in all, I'm enjoying the course a lot and you did a way better job explaining the concept of shells and orbitals, than my chemistry professor did. Thanks a lot.
its easy to understand but somethings are a little confusing because of the speed
Quite an informative lecture. Helpful in breaking down complex concepts.
This lecture series is quite informative and helpful. Maybe due to different learning styles is why some students don't see it fit; however, I find it quite helpful in both refreshing minds in prior learnt concepts, preparing for classes, and studying the MCAT as a non-trad. It makes you want to further seek more information and learn about the application of the concepts, rather than simply memorising formulas or synthesis steps. Give it a try, you would learn alot about simplifications of complicated concepts. I especially enjoyed the organic chemistry lectures and the explanations about medical and organic chemistry. A bit of prior knowledge could be beneficial, but it isn't a necessity.
To me he is the best chemistry teacher,till date.His lectures clarifies all my doubts.Thank you so much sir..
The lessons from lecturio in general should be a little longer and more in depth. Also, the practice questions have nothing to do with the lesson advanced.
there is much of talking and repeating to understand the "How"much more than understanding the "Why"
Very nicely explained. I found it helpful in understanding some basics of chemsistry that I've forgotten over the years.
There needs to be mechanisms. The lecture, as-is, is entirely superficial.
Instructor is precise, thorough, presentations are easy to follow and understand. It is enjoyable learning. Thank you. Love it.
I watched the glycopeptide pharmacology lecture, wanted more details on the mechanism of action, segwayed to antimicrobial resistance, then segwayed to "Peptidoglycans - Beta Lactam Antibiotics" video lecture. The D-Alanine-D-Alanine concept also relates to the mechanism of action of vancomycin.
Lecturio videos are the best way to make you more confidents for your exams!
El curso esta perfecto hasta lo que he visto, el único problema es la traducción, al ser traducidos automáticamente (no por una persona) hay algunas cosas que no se entienden ni tienen sentido. Tarde un buen tiempo en entender lo que significa "shell" ya que en español no es "caparazón" como lo marca el traductor.
Excellent and precise to the point. I loved it. Thank you Dr. Gresley.
Enhanced understanding. Wish he talked about R and S configurations. The part was slightly confusing without the explanation of R and S
The explanation provided is far to basic and even if its more organic related subject, it should be introduced in a method that is not intimidating.
Why I don't understand his explanation. Its not detailed enough to follow.
I don't get it. I feel like he's reading off a script and its too much show and less understanding.
I choose this rating because I feel the course is not well organized, and I think it lacks of contents in many important topics of chemistry, such as molecular geometry, thermochemistry, periodic properties of elements and nomenclature (both organic and inorganic).
I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTH?NG FROM TH?S LECTURER, HE EXPLA?NS TOO FAST AND NOT CLAR?FY THE SUBJECT COMPLETELY
Si la Chemistry hubiera sido explicada de esa forma en mi Children Process, entender su importancia pudo haberme ahorrado mi vital time, y tener una vida more easy.
Great lecture with simple explanations for the freshman. Like it!
Very nice presentations of the different subjects, and i felt I recieved a clear view of all the mechanisms presented
This lecture offers only the very basic principles for understanding the concept of hybridisation with very little examples. The lecturer himself seems as if he reads notes off a text book out loud without providing appropriate explanation on the idea behind the way that hybridisation works in interacting atoms. Also, providing problem-solving exercises (like at the end of lecture 12. Covalent Bonds - Quantum Numbers), as well as, the answers to those questions - so that someone can mark their own responses - is an essential part of teaching and learning I hope we can agree.
It states the concepts very clear, i would love to have him as a professor
Did not like the sequence of the power points, too confusing.
The lectures are really good and to the point! I like how they aren't too long (otherwise i wouldn't take anything in after 15mins tbh) They are short and very easy to grasp the concept!
i understood the whole concept from adam sir clearly and wanna learn more from him....
I fund the course giving me a proper intro and review of every topic. Not necessarily the best class replacement, but certainly covers each and every topic to at least a basic extent.
1. The content is very comprehensive. 2. The explanations are very clear.
Very complete and straight to the point, better than when my teacher explains
Very educational, a good source for priming for MCAT. Quizzes at the end of slides, and option to take notes while learning are a plus!
The teaching is easy to understand. Can you have some lectures on physics
I liked this course a lot. The lectures were concise and clear.
A fantastic lecture and it is very helpful for me thank you very much.
perfectly explained and i wanted to ask that i am in class 11 so can i have lectures on that
what an amazing voice! and no uhs, ums and pauses like so many bad lecturers out there. I can't wait to watch the rest of the videos!
It is a good refresher for gen chem but it is not suited for a proper study along chem class.
did a good job explaining basic atomic structure but fails to explain what an atom really looks like. Jumps into the technicalities and skims through them too quickly. I had to consult various other sources to fully understand the concept; not something I should have to do with a paid service.
Great way of showing information , thanks for your amazing efforts.
very good content. vibe just felt too serious. i recommend this to anyone who needs a refresh.
Soothing voice, this professor was easy to follow and I enjoyed listening to his lectures.
The lectures are good quality. I hope they will add more videos, so that all of the chemistry content that is covered on the MCAT is included. Three years of chemistry (two semesters of general chemistry and lab, two semesters of organic chemistry, organic lab, and two semesters of biochemistry.....) definitely wasn't covered here. This is a nice quick refresher and an overview of some important concepts, though.
Informative. Interesting. Punctual. enthusiastic. Descriptive. Mature. Accented. Kind. Thorough. Well planned.
It was a little rushed in places, feeling more like a quick review than actual teaching, but for the most part it was great. The professor explained things better than most of my teachers, and at the end of the day I am leaving the course with a legit grasp of whatever he covered. I would recommend this as a refresher for some of the major concepts of basic chemistry, but probably is not the best place to learn things from scratch.
It was very helpful and the professor did a better job explaining the concepts than the online course I am taking. Thank you!
