What can I do to make myself understand Organic Chemistry?

enomis225 asked:
Last year I took Organic Chemistry I, had a miserable teacher, learned and understood very little, and somehow ended with a C minus. With no background of understanding at all, I took Organic II, tried to understand but it didn’t work. I read the text, class notes, bought Organic Chemistry Demystified and tried sparknotes, made flashcards, spent time in the professor’s office reviewing things; but failed to understand the material when it was on the test and ended with a D. Now, since the courses are required for my major, As much as I despise it, I have to re-take Organic Chemistry from the beginning but I need some help. What else can I do….I just cannot get the reactions in my brain and understand other concepts.
