<p>So... about chem 3b next semester. I know there is another thread on this, but I didn't feel like awakening the dead. UHm.... compared to frechet chem 3a, how is volhardt's chem 3b in terms of content, exams, hours required to study, etc.. How are the labs in chem 3bl? Are they like the labs in pederson's chem 3al? Do the labs and lab reports take more time than they did in chem 3aL? This last question is most important: How much Chem 3A should I study/review before Chem 3B starts? I forgot a LOT of chem 3a, infact I don't remember most of the third trimester's stuff. All those reactions... Are the midterms cumulative, will they test knowledge, like a lot of the reactions, from chem 3A?</p>
<p>bumpity bump bump</p>
<p>I had Pedersen. He incorporated some 3A knowledge into his tests but not too much. I would say just know how to Flashcard the important 3A reactions but don’t memorize the mechanisms if you’re a go-getter, but honestly I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
<p>if you work…it’s easy as pie</p>
<p>not really, i know some people who worked hard but still did poorly in the pre-med classes.</p>
<p>aka me, iono for ochem its like no matter how much i study, i just can’t register the material, that’s why I’m super stressed for chem 3b. I barely managed a B- in chem 3a, and i can’t have any more B grades. Thanks for the replies, and I still welcome more input.</p>
<p>maybe they worked hard the wrong way. I took the lecture and suggested problems seriously and the exams were easy.</p>
