Chem 1 grade

<p>I'm getting a b+ in chem 1 and I'm on the pre-health track....is it worth it if I retook and got an A? I'm not entirely sure how this point system works but I think that would average out to a 3.5. Is that considered an A?</p>

<p>don’t retake. move on and get better grades next time if you are trying to get lots of A’s</p>

<p>It turned out to be a b- D:
Isn’t that under a 3.0?
Thanks for helping out!</p>

<p>CHM at UF is a very difficult course; I congratulate you on your B- :)</p>

<p>I got a B- in Chem1. I busted my ass and got a A in chem2. I’m pretty sure if you do well in successive classes; getting a B- in chem1 will look like nothing.</p>

<p>oh really? who was your professor? i’m currently signed up for horvath >.<…mitchell doesn’t fit my schedule and the spots for martin are all gone!</p>

<p>If you have horvath, you might as well prepare yourself to fail, xD jk jk.</p>

<p>Please… do NOT take horvath. For your own sake do not do that to yourself. Try your best to rearrange your schedule to have gower. He’s a very fair professor. One exam drop and the final is all recycled questions from the previous exams. Getting an A is very doable since it equates to an 87% in the class.</p>

<p>Problem is, Gower isn’t teaching chem 2 next semester… try and get Martin if you can find a spot (I heard he’s not that hard); if not, then take either Keaffaber or Mitchell over Horvath.</p>

<p>lol Horvath is not that bad…ok who am I kidding, he is that bad but certainly not IMPOSSIBLE. I found that for his class working ahead is the best way to stay caught up. He demands a lot but is more than willing to help if asked. You will definitely leave his class with a solid foundation of the material that you will appreciate, especially if you do well. If you cannot manage to get any other professor, stick with Horvath. Buy his book NOW, start reading it, although its difficult at times reading it more than once helps, and working ahead. Also it seems impossible to fail his class if you complete all the work and stay throughout the entire semester because he offers in insane amount of extra credit on the exams because there are more points possible than are actually required to get an A. Still there are no “gimmies”. Once you get past the first rough weeks and get the hang of it you begin to like him, appreciate his humor, and most importantly learn chemistry.</p>
