<p>Hey guys</p>
<p>I recently received a D+ in Organic Chemistry I. I had not expected such a grade and had already signed up for Organic Chemistry II for the summer session. So I was wondering if I should retake Ochem I or just stick with Ochem II and then retake Ochem I (which is easier) during the busier fall semester. Granted that I will work very hard, is Organic Chemistry II significantly harder without complete grasping of the first part of ochem?</p>
<p>It might not be the same at all schools. Maybe try asking the professor who will be teaching ochem2?</p>
<p>I don't know how your school works, but mine goes by the semester system.</p>
<p>I have finished both, and I found Ochem 2 more difficult because it built on the knowledge learned in Ochem 1. I think that if you didn't quite get the material in the first part of the course, it will be an uphill battle to understand the second part. There is a greater amount of information in Ochem 2 and the difficulty level is upped because of that.</p>
<p>Therefore, I would suggest retaking Ochem 1. Oh, and taking Ochem 2 in the summer sounds suicidal.</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>Retake Ochem1. I doubt your school will even let you take ochem2, don't you need a C or better? Regardless, you have to know ochem1 in order to do ochem2, I would retake it immediately. Why do you want to go ahead and take ochem2 and then retake ochem1 later anyways? It doesn't make much sense.</p>
