<p>well, I hope the internship paid off. And thanks you guys for your experiences.
Here was the question I was going to ask the chem prof: what is the difference between chem 111 and chem102/103?? I had AP credit for chemistry (a four ) so should I retake intro chem?? If so, which One???</p>
<p>CHEM 111 is intro chem for engineers; CHEM 105 is the equivalent for science majors. If you're an engineer you'll take CHEM 111/ENGR 145, if not, then CHEM 105/106.</p>
<p>I got a 4 on the chem AP test and opted to retake CHEM 106 (while keeping my credit for 105 & 113). Big mistake; the class is complete review and a waste of time. Go straight into ochem.</p>
<p>I disagree- especially if you decide you're premed.</p>
<p>Alot of med schools want you to take those classes IN college.</p>
<p>maybe i will take chem 111; more challengen??</p>
<p>There's really no point in taking chem 111, unless its possible that you'll become an engineer.</p>
<p>Just my general advice: you're going to take plenty of challenging courses at Case. Take the easy ones while you still can.</p>
<p>No offense, but the book they use for Chem 106 (Chang) has the problem level not that high, as compared to Silbenberg, which Case used before. And CaseSpartan, I will accept your advice on that, though.
(Hehe, watch me flunk that class once I get here; that will truely be funny :))</p>
<p>Haha, don't worry about it- if you have any chem experience whatsoever, you'll be completely fine in 106.</p>
<p>The professor pretends like he's a hard@ss- but it really doesn't get much easier than him.</p>
<p>Hey casespartan10, mind I get the name of the prof., (to track him/her down on ratemyprofessor.com and maybe email him.)</p>
<p>thanks for answering my question there caseSpartan.</p>
<p>There's no need to be a jerk; especially since you can just go online & check the schedule of classes (<a href="http://www.case.edu/provost/registrar/soc.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.case.edu/provost/registrar/soc.html</a>) to see who the prof is.</p>
<p>Its true, a lot of med schools do not like AP credits, however, I'm not sure what looks better, being able to take higher courses earlier, or taking the all the premed courses in college.</p>
<p>For instance, many medical schools have requirements worded such as "8 Hours of Chemistry" now, this is easily fulfilled by just taking 105/106/113 and then 223/224 or 323/324 (honors ochem) and 233/234 (the ochem labs). There, thats 10 credits in two years.</p>
<p>But if you get AP credit, you can take the ochems your freshmen year and take a class like inorganic chem, p-chem, or the CHem department version of Bio chem (yes, they are different).
And while those are probably not applicable to the MCAT, nor are they applicable to most of med school (Hell, many of the prehealth courses aren't anyway), having a different and more rigorous course work than the avg premed student might set you apart when it comes to applications.
I'm not a prehealth advisor, so don't quote me on that, but its worth discussing with a counselor or advisor.</p>
<p>Thank you euihyunlee, I actually thought that you would come and comment; I knew you were busy so instead I asked the question on the forum instead of on your email.</p>
<p>hey guys, I checked that web site for some chem classes; one of them for the instructor says "staff"; but I thought Case doesn't use Student teaching assisstants. for CHEM 111 next year.</p>
<p>Xtra, yeah I haven't been on here in like a month+ I think it was just coincidence that I logged on when this thread was hot. </p>
<p>It usually says "staff" until a professor is assigned. Generally if you ask one of the department heads they could tell you who is slated to teach that course. I did that when I was taking Math 223/224. The courses said "staff" so I asked Chris BUtler and he told me who was teaching them before it was on the course site.</p>
<p>Oh, okay, thanks then EuiHyunLee</p>
<p>There are a lot of classes that are listed as staff. I don't think some departments have assigned professors yet, other than the obvious.</p>
<p>I appreciated all of your responses.</p>
