<p>I keep hearing that Chem 20/30 series is much harder than the 14 series. If so, how much harder is it?</p>
<p>I'm a phy sci major. I want to a solid foundation in chem but I can't afford to have something be too difficult or time-consuming. Which series should I take?</p>
<p>addendum: does this apply towards all life science vs. physical science / engineering series if true? (swift's remark about difficulty)</p>
<p>the 14 series is geared more toward the life sciences and doesn't go into as much detail in certain subjects as the 20/30 series do. I would guess that the same applies regarding the physics 6 and 1 series as well...</p>
<p>its mostly the same material, but i think the 20/30 series goes more in depth ochem as well as a few other areas. 14 series is just 14a, 14b, 14bl, 14c, 14cl, 14d. 20/30 is: 20a, 20b, 20l, 30a, 30al, 30b, 30bl, 30c, 30cl. </p>
<p>14c and d are ochem, while 30a, 30b, and 30c are ochem.</p>
<p>14 series is DEFINATELY easier than the other series. The 14 series goes into less depth/theory and is more problem solving based. The other series is more theoretical and abstract (from what I've heard)</p>
