Organic Chemistry

<p>Is it realistically possible to do Organic chem 1 &2 over the summer? Is it hard? Does it look bad?</p>

<p>Sorry to kinda go off a tangent, I would also like to know, for those of you who have taken Orgo 2 at UF, who are the good professors :)? and the ones to avoid??</p>

<p>Its absolutely doable. Orgo 1 (Summer A), Orgo 2 (Summer B), and Orgo lab (Summer C). I know two people that personally did it. And I know one said he found it great and convenient way to finish those 3 classes. </p>

<p>I am assuming you are talking about med school. I see it as you finishing the required classes and dont see why it would matter which semester you took it. </p>

<p>Orgo 1: I have heard good things from Horenstein and Dolbier. I would pick Horenstein. Dolbier was pretty boring lecturer when he filled in for my teacher for a week. </p>

<p>Orgo 2: **Enholm<a href="never%20seen%20Keaffaber%20teach%20Orgo,%20he%20is%20know%20to%20be%20a%20good%20lecturer%20but%20hard%20tester,%20as%20least%20for%20gen%20chem">/b</a>. Portmess is teaching the summer C classes. Unless he has changed in the past 2 years, he is greater lecturer but his test are hard.....like many people failing (no curve) hard. Either fail or drop the class for many. </p>

<p>Lab: one my two favorite labs at UF</p>

<p>My kid did both over the summer.
They said it was actually easier because the teachers had to get straight to the point and don't have time to play their weed out games.</p>

<p>Thank you sooo much for replying!
I heard that you can't take Chm2210 lab during summer C (because apparently you have to have credit for organic chem 1 before you can sign up for orgo 2 lab?) Correct me if i'm wrong =)</p>

<p>Unless they recently changed the rules, you should be able to take the lab without having orgo credit yet. They use to advertise this option in the chem dept as "intensive organic summer."</p>
