Comments on the course

The class is tough for some and easier for others. I didn't enjoy Gen Chem 1 or 2 very much but I did a lot better in Orgo. The class structure was easy to keep up with but your grade is ENTIRELY dependent on your exam grades. For my class exams were worth 90% and the rest were spread between assignments. The workload was light, there was one homework assignment due on Friday that didn't take that long. Office Hours are definitely helpful as well!

Course Content

It is more interesting than Gen Chem in my opinion and I liked Lopez as a teacher.

Comments on the professor

Lopez was a good lecturer and has good office hours.

Advice

Study as you go and don't cram. Cramming may work for the first or second exam, but anything past that is a lot more intensive.

Comments on the course

It is a difficult course but as long as you study you can do well.

Comments on the professor

Habenicht was outstanding and made the class easier since her practice exams are similar to the actual exams and the worksheets are also good for studying for the exams.

Advice

Do all the worksheets and practice exams. Take Habenicht. Study edge is also very useful.

Comments on the course

It was for credit but I would never take this if I didn't have to.

Course Content

It is useful if you are a pre-medical student because it is handy for the MCAT. It is a lot of information and this class needs a good professor so that you can do well in Orgo 2

Comments on the professor

P was great H was not. I really struggled with the material she taught but Peterson was good at explaining everything that we needed to know

Advice

I used study edge and tbh I would have passed if I didn't, but everyone is different

Comments on the course

Although I've done alright on the first two exams, this class really makes me want to pay a visit to the DNA bridge that does not involve me coming back from the DNA bridge. StudyEdge is good. His practice problems are okay. The exams are basically the practice exams. His lectures are really rambling and confusing, but I can say that his office hours clarify a lot of the stuff that he delivers weirdly in class.

Comments on the professor

Lopez makes lowkey sexist comments sometimes. He's passionate but not the best lecturer. He's not that supportive of students unless you try to kiss up and cultivate a personal relationship with him.

Advice

How to make an appointment with the CWC.

They give you a lot of great resources to succeed. Professors in the future do not so definitely cherish the moment.

Comments on the course

Easy if you put in the work and do all practice exams. Exam 2 is tough, especially if you’re not a visual person. But the rest is basically memorization and if you do a lot of practice it becomes like second nature.

Comments on the professor

Amazing and clear lectures. Exams were tricky sometimes but with enough practice an A is achievable

Advice

StudyEdge is not necessary, as the lectures have everything you need. If you want even more practice it could be useful.

Comments on the course

Very difficult course, but not impossible.

Course Content

Beginning was a lot easier with Nomenclature and learning the basics. It got a lot harder as the semester went on, and you started learning about reactions and their mechanisms. Had to memorize over 30 different reactions, many of which were very similar so you could confuse them easily.

Comments on the professor

I had Peterson. Great professor and really helpful.

Advice

Definitely get all the ALEKS homework done before the semester begins! Easier to understand what is going on in the first few weeks, and gives you more time to study/focus on other things.
