Ugh I hated ochem because my professor was also the person who wrote the book. You'd think that that would make it easy, but he treated the book as mandatory material; anything he taught in lecture was additional material we had to learn. There just isn't enough time in one semester to cover that much.

Also, oddly enough, unlike most people, I really enjoyed physical chemistry over organic chemistry. I think part of that had to do with the fact that I had a really good professor and the fact that physical chemistry puts a lot of other parts of chemistry into perspective.

Orgo was a good class. Although I started to not care second semester.

The reason why I think it's hard for most people is because it's completely new material. With Bio/Chem/Physics you probably have some background from high school. But with orgo you're just learning totally new material for a semester and people aren't used to that. They need different ways of thinking/

OChem sucks, Orgo rocks.


lol, we call it orgo here too.

College-level orgo is pretty straightforward, but I imagine graduate orgo is a pain in the ass. I didn't dislike orgo only because I did well in the class (I never went to lecture...just read the textbook).

Orgo lab, on the other hand, is a pain in the ass.

My PChem was all theory (all the math and stuff). I didn't feel like I was learning chemistry at all lol.

O-chem 1 is easy compared to o-chem 2. The synthesis questions in o-chem 2 are also way more challenging. There are a ton of reactions you have to memorize and really long mechanisms. In o-chem 1 it just sn1, sn2, e1, e2, and some basic addition reactions. The stereochem stuff is easy, and everything before that like nomenclature is easy too. next semester is when the real fun begins =P

Orgo is fun.
Memorizing reactions were a bit of a pain, but it was not terrible except during finals =/

I was lucky to get the best professor at my university for Orgo. She really is a godsent. These were her ratings on ratemyprofessors.com (i swear by that site when picking out classes with multiple professors)
# No. of Ratings: 209
# Average Easiness: 3.0
# Average Helpfulness: 4.8
# Average Clarity: 4.8
# Hotness Total: 40
# Overall Quality: 4.8

(Average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, and quality are out of 5)

P.S. Orgo is the spawn of satin.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!
