<p>Im an incoming freshman, and I decided to take Chem 3A this summer. Have any of you taken Chem 3A during the summer session? I just want someone to tell me about their experience with this course...</p>
<p>pedersens a god for a prof, go to OH, learn nomenclature, MolOrbDiagrams, and resonance. </p>
<p>Don’t be stupid, work fast, work hard, and don’t be stupid.</p>
<p>would i be crazy to take math 53 with ochem?<br>
the thing is, i need to take at least 6 units for financial aid. Chem 3A + 3 AL = 5 units. so i need at least one more unit. i can take a unless 1 unit course or i can take math 53…</p>
<p>5 (Chem) + 4 (Math 53) = 9 units… And for summer, 9 units of work is equivalent to 18 units of work in non-summer semesters (i.e. fall/spring which are longer). I would not recommend you doing that.</p>
<p>Pedersen teaches in the summer?</p>
<p>yeah… pedersen is teaching it this summer. XD</p>
<p>x2 on studying nomenclature then, it seems trivial but there’s big points there</p>
<p>what kind of nomenclature are you talking about? are you taking about like if a chemical is a ketone? aldehyde? amines?</p>
<p>yeah, im sorta studying ochem before the summer… i get the SN2, SN1, E2 and E1 reactions already XD</p>
<p>it’s the summer between senior year and first year at college. Find a girl, get drunk, smoke some pot, make some mistakes, be a kid…(drunk and pot only if you’re cool w/ it :D)</p>
<p>life isn’t about studying SnX and getting ahead…what a waste</p>
<p>(this is what burnout is made from)</p>
<p>
</p>
