    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.

  • @zhonestguy
    @zhonestguy 6 років тому +141

    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.

    • @kevinfarrell3324
      @kevinfarrell3324 5 років тому +16

      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.

    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.

    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. I understand nursing students need to understand organic chemistry for pharmacology, but also I love food science. I want to be inspired to keep understanding organic chemistry. Feels like a passion because it makes me happy to see it. I am not kidding.

He became totally despondent after 4 years. You either "get/love chemistry" ,or the most part. you don't. I'm not saying you can't do well,,,,,BUT...you either love it or you don't.
