<p>I'm an Engineering major so I have to take this course. Unfortunately I never took AP chem. I'm thinking of reviewing some chem using an AP Chem study book such as Princeton Review or Barron's. Is this good preparation however? I'm up for any suggestions, thank you everyone.</p>
<p>…Chem 2090 is an Introduction to General Chemistry.</p>
<p>It doesn’t require any prerequisites, and will teach you all you need to know about chemistry. </p>
<p>Just wait till you get to Cornell and actually take the class, and then study from your notes/the book.</p>
<p>^what that person said. just do it later. if you want a heads start, buy the textbook and read it well and do every problem in it</p>
<p>Are they even teaching chem 2090? I was looking at the fall course roster and it wasn’t listed…</p>
<p>Anyway, It isn’t bad. But if they eliminated 2090 and are having engineers take 2070, be prepared to study extra hard to compete with all the premeds…</p>
<p>lol the premeds have to study extra hard to compete with the engineers.</p>
<p>Why do you think they split up gen chem into 2070 and 2090 in the first place?</p>
<p>^^Yup. Engineers ruined the curve for pre-meds, so they had to make a separate class for engineers which turned out to be chem 2090.</p>
<p>Sweet… I was really worried that my (blah) Chem knowledge would screw me over the first semester.</p>
<p>is Chem at Cornell generally more concerned with knowledge of the concepts and theory or does it involve mostly problems, like my AP class did?</p>
<p>207 is also filled with non pre med kids, like AEM kids and stuff.</p>
