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.

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/ | ||

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.

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.

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

Memorizing reactions were a bit of a pain, but it was not terrible except during finals =/ | ||
