That moment when you literally stop orgo hw to procrastinate on UA-cam, and this video shows up in your sub box. I'm 110% certain UA-cam is watching me
I 100% agree, but as a current orgo 2 student, the professors make it all about memorization and grades, and med schools make it all about that letter grade. I don't think we're afraid of the material itself, but of the expectations that come along with taking a course like this.
I want to learn and and not get intimidated by courses like such, but when they accompany these courses with tests, assignments deadlines, timmed quizes, papers, the grading system, etc it's hard not to get intimidated...
sup sma Don’t lose hope and remember, setbacks will always be with us but we fail only when we quit. I have a PhD in organic chemistry but I had to plead for a passing grade in my first organic class in college. It never got easy but it was usually interesting. Hang in there.
sup sma school ain't about learnin', it's about passin' tests! My advice is read the books before taking the course. Without all that anxiety, you can learn a lot easier.
Exactly. When I read Org chem for the first time understanding it , I though what's so difficult in this? Boy was I wrong!!!! It's just like inorganic, a lot of logic but a WHOLE LOT OF MEMORY
@@sajanaryal6932 the basic lead to memorization....if you know when to use a specific mechanism, identifying the right reagents or products from a reaction gets easy. Then the process becomes more fluid rather than memorizing lists and praying you just regurgitate the easy one (which doesnt happen but people still do)
Ochem day 1: Oh, look at these adorable bond-line structures! Ochem day 2-on: You have to memorize a dozen multi-step synthesis and their exceptions for every exam. Ochem prof: lol why you scared?
Wasserrübenvergilbungsvirus people always get surprised when I mention this. Just understand why steric hinderance, resonance, hybridization etc help push a reaction a certain way, and you’ll be fine. Obviously the niche reactions like Gringard and Friedel-craft does require some memorization, but they still exploit the basic rules
U know chiral centres right? Now the questions i have seen are ridiculous. They will just name some obscure compund and ask how many chural centres it has. U cant understand org chem all the time. There are some exceptions that dont make sense. U never know which effect has more influence and if u give the wrong priority to the wrong effect u will get thr wrong ans
@@vladys5238 counting the chiral centre was never a problem. The problem was the structure. The question expected me to know the the structure of the compund they named. The common name not iupac. Now if thats not purely memory based than idk what is
This course gave me stress, anxiety, and also made me grow tremendously. As much as I hate it, I would take it again because my Ochem professor was one of the most amazing professors. So, yes! I would go through it again.
I have such love for this science which made the class even more discouraging not because it was hard, but because there was a large amount of thoughts/ideas without the proper depth of explanation. O-Chem 1 literally dips your toe into the real world of chemistry with expectations to know less and memorize more. The entire semester I found myself asking, "yeah.... but why??" with answers along the lines of, "you'll learn that later". This lead to a consistant 77-78% in the class with exams that I felt as if I was being asked complex questions with provided generalized information. I am an analytical thinker and could care less for memorization because memorization and comprehension are not equal. I am not paying tuition to memorize, I am paying tuition to LEARN.
Yea a lot of memorization is needed, but is required to "learn" why some things happen. For any STEM class, it is important to not only know how to do something, but what is actually happening. So its not the case of knowing less and memorizing more, succeeding in any STEM class requires both and you will probably not do well if you don't have both.
Prof showed this to us last year on the 1st day of Ochem 1, it definitely motivated me. I got Bs in both Ochem 1 & 2, which may not be impressive to others but im very proud of myself
If this is how O Chem were taught, people wouldn't be scared of it. This is now how it's taught nor what it's like to experience O Chem as a student. Everyone knows O Chem is amazing as a subject, but how it's taught is the problem and he's not addressing that issue in this video.
@@velkykopyto7021 for how long you gonna teach yourself ,if it’s like that why we go to university why we waste our time and life is better to study alone and work alone,A bad teacher means he is not understanding the idea then he cannot explain it .Or just he knows everything but give you nothing.
I am food science & managment student .To be honest this is my 4th time I'm taking this killer subject.. I hope I'll no fail again. Watch this video such an inspiration for me. I hope I can pass this subject.
Lol this makes organic chemistry look so simple and fancy... And then you study it and you realize this goes much more deep. Although, organic chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry were some of my favourite subjects at college.
I took it twice, dropped it and then I transferred to another college retook it and my teacher changed my whole perspective on it. I started to understand and love chemistry. I use to be scared because I didn’t understand it and hated it. I’m forever thankful for my professor changing my perspective.
You are the smartest man alive or woman. Can't tell by your name. Great drive and endurance. Most would have given up. You decided not to and believed it was doable. The environment was not supportive and you changed it. Most would have just blamed themselves and given up. You didn't allow your thoughts to run you into the ground.
i feel like courses like this really need a great professor like this. my professor is okay but she's not doing the best job. a lot of chemistry I'm having to learn by myself (as im sure most people have had to do as well). explaining in this simple of a way is so much less intimidating. I also feel like when you don't understand it, you get discouraged and want to drop the class. I really hope I pass my class
to all the incoming students about to take orgo, don't be intimidated. it's really not that bad. take my word for it when I say it's NOT that bad. if anything, i enjoyed it much more than general chemistry.
Don't. Literally the worst class I took in college with the worst teachers with bad english on top. Oh and how often do medical students use organic chemistry? Oh they don't in the way they teach it. That's the problem. "if this is how O Chem were taught, people wouldn't be scared of it. This is now how it's taught nor what it's like to experience O Chem as a student.

As someone who is going through a course that will prepare me for learning medicine in Italy- people like this is what keeps me alive and interested at wanting to know and discover more.
Ochem 1 I got a 79 letter grade but a 92 in the lab, the amount of work and exams is what makes people intimidated by the course. The lab part was super fun, I actually learned the most.
I've a mater degree of chemistry and I've multiple sclerosis too. When you mentioned Gilenya, I really loved organic chemistry more. Thank you for this lovely talk. Uhoud, from Saudi Arabia
I'm about to take the second semester of ochem, for the 6th time. Every time I take it I spend ~6 hours a day on it, only to fail the tests. I go to office hours, email professors, do okay on the homeworks... just fail the tests. I've passed every other class in my major, but can't graduate because of this 200 level entry course. I actually like the material too, it's interesting stuff. I just wish I knew how to learn it. Thinking about having to take it AGAIN though makes me want to cry because it makes me feel like a failure.
I can see why people find organic chemistry hard..but i love it so much. It's so interesting. And my teacher taught us so well, he made it very very easy for us.
Organic chemistry is like a new language. You must learn the fundamentals (the letters), and once you’ve done that, you can start forming words and creating paragraphs (mastering mechanisms).
As someone that is studying organic chemistry as a graduate student, I appreciate how he takes a step back to realize how much this field is so integrated into a lot of different aspects. I think one thing that scares students off to organic chemistry is that it's a different mindset of understanding this field. In organic chemistry, you learn the reactions and core concepts, but to implement those you need to think in a more critical thinking perspective. I believe that's what makes this class so scary for those that have to take it if they are pre-med, because they are used to regurgitating information but that doesn't fly in organic chemistry.
This natural Vs synthetic argument should be really emphasized in the general consciousness. Just because something's made in a lab doesn't mean it's bad, likewise just because something's natural doesn't mean it's safe
@@maroonhorizon1693 I worked in government research for a year and now I am a fully funded PhD student! Not the best salary but getting paid to get a PhD/teach chemistry is definitely the way to go. Im going back into government research after.

U may be wrong. Most just have that knowledge at the highest level does not mean they wanted to be physicians. Being Doctor is a dedication to saving life. What he does here is simply epic. I have studied Medicine so i do know
I really wish I could understand organic chemistry. I like it because I like nutrition and food science. I am going to pursue registered nurse school, and I am liking the profession.

Feels like a passion because it makes me happy to see it. I am not kidding.

You didn't mention what the 3 fundamental refined molecules of oil are buddy. I need to know my lego bricks if I want to build something to know for peace of mind lol. I am very interested in chemistry and it's kind of a late obsession in my life I find a strange attraction to.

I've learned that over time. Do be afraid of some of the classmates, especially if they are taking it to be a mad scientist. See all my other posts for more.
I'm surprised at how many people don't like organic chemistry lol. I love organic chemistry, imo it's a bit easier than physical chemistry just because it is more fun to learn, for me

You didn't mention what the 3 fundamental refined molecules of oil are buddy. I need to know my lego bricks if I want to build something to know for peace of mind lol. I am very interested in chemistry and it's kind of a late obsession in my life I find a strange attraction to.
Omg this is the key to everything I study all topics back to Quantum Entanglement & you just Untangled the lot in a Quarter of an Hour I'll rewatch this many times thank you buddy new Follower gained!
I've learned that over time. Do be afraid of some of the classmates, especially if they are taking it to be a mad scientist. See all my other posts for more.
I’m taking Organic Chemistry for the next semester. I am terrified just thinking about it.
Why am I enjoying this more than organic chem lectures
Watching this the day after my orgo final is so relieving
I'm surprised at how many people don't like organic chemistry lol. I love organic chemistry, imo it's a bit easier than physical chemistry just because it is more fun to learn, for me
This video changed my perspective on chemistry................. 👍👌
Excellent! Reminds me of my Organic Chemistry class umpteen years ago.
UA-cam recommended this video to me a day before starting my organic chemistry course. So I hope it's going to be fun :)
Immense love for this presentation ❤
It was what the doctor ordered..
how're you doing now
you're voice is relaxing
as a person who studied for JEE, organic chemistry was perhaps the most lovable subject of all of chemistry (when you have inorganic and physical, orgainc feels like heaven).
This is the real organic chemistry.
I wish i could have a teacher like u in my academics
Tomorrow morning is my final exam in organic chemistry 2. I remember watching this before my first lecture. Im praying i can finally defeat it.
WHY IS EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE COUGHING SO MUCH?
Covid++
