<p>Is there any real difference in pace or difficulty between these courses?</p>
<p>I haven’t taken either so take what I say with a grain of salt but I have heard that 111 is considerably more difficult and faster paced. This would make sense, as 111 is 107+108 but in a single semester (at least as I understand it).</p>
<p>If you’re an engineering major, take CHEM 111. If you’re pre-med/chem major/biology major/whatever, take the CHEM 107 - 108 sequence. If you’re nursing take CHEM 101 - 102.</p>
<p>I do not suggest taking the CHEM 111 unless you’re engineering, there is no need to put that kind of burden on yourself. General chemistry is a LOT harder than the chemistry you remember from high school.</p>
<p>If i have a chem ap credit that satisfies the chem 107 and 108 requirement, does it also meet a chem 111 requirement?</p>
<p>Chem 111 is Chem 107/108 just in one semester - I <em>believe</em>. So I would <em>think</em> it would FadedSpirits, double check with an advisor on that one though.</p>
<p>If you are in Watson, a score of…</p>
<p>3 = CHEM 101
4 = CHEM 111
5 = CHEM 107 & CHEM 108</p>

<p>markopolo - Thank you for clarifying me on that one!</p>
<p>I’m a Biology major who made the stupid decision to take CHEM 111…ughhh, it was a very bad decision; it was my least favorite class in my whole first year.</p>
<p>Can you explain why BurntFlower.</p>
<p>Sure, glypha1104. Professor Jiye Fang and TA that I got for CHEM 111 were very difficult to understand because of their accent, and the professor was a pretty dull lecturer. Also, the pace was very fast and topics weren’t covered in-depth. On average, a lot of people were struggling with the class, and scores on quizzes/exams were rather low in general. Lab was a mixed bag; some activities were fun (especially the last one: we worked with liquid nitrogen!), but others were dreadfully boring. I would only recommend this class to those that have no other option but CHEM 111. For everyone else, just stay far away.</p>
<p>thanks alot</p>
