I’m going to be a sophmore in college this year, school starts for me in a few days. I’m a bio major, and over the last year I took general chemistry for three quarters and I got an A each quarter. However, this year we have to take three quarters of organic chemistry. I’ve hear some VERY bad things about o-chem: horror stories, people failing, bad grades overall, etc. So I was wondering if anyone who has taken the class has any advice on how to do well, and if it really is as bad as people make it out to be. In general, I feel pretty comfortable with chemistry and I’ve always been pretty good at it, however, with everything I’ve heard about o-chem, I can’t help but be a little (or really) worried. Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!
