<p>D just completed Preview yesterday. We had it all mapped out what she was going to take in Summer and Fall, but the advisors seemed to think it was too aggressive although it went along with the Prepharmacy tracking. She made changes and still gets most of the classes, but what they signed off on doesn't seem to meet the prerequisites.</p>
<p>I know the system doesn't prevent you from registering for classes that you don't meet the prereqs for. They also say they may or may not drop you if you don't meet them. </p>
<p>Can anyone speak from experience regarding the Chemistry 2045 prereqs? If D takes CHM 1025 but not MAC 1147, will that be a problem? Then if she's in CHM 2045 but doesn't have MAC 1147 but is taking MAC 2311 concurrently is that a problem? She did place into MAC 2311 and has taken AP Calc, so may get credit. We won't know scores until July.</p>
<p>I hate for her to get into the semester and find out late she needs to drop and find other classes.</p>
<p>She scored a little lower on the chem readiness test and doesn’t feel that great about the Chemistry background from 10th grade. </p>
<p>So if she takes MAC2311 and CHM2045 in the fall, will there be a problem with CHM 2045 because she didn’t have the MAC2311 or MAC1147 before taking it? Will they drop her for that?</p>
<p>I took CHM 2045 in Fall 2008, and if there’s a math pre-req for it, that’s surprising news to me… the only math you really use is plugging numbers into formulas, sometimes using simple algebra to solve for the answer.</p>
<p>So if she is starting summer, why not take 1025 summer B and 2045 in fall.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. The math required in chem gen 1 is basically all algebra, so never understood why they required precalc for it. In chem 2 you use logs, its not difficult. Plus, 1147 is the pre-req for 2311.</p>
<p>Yes, CHM 1025 in Summer and 2045 in Fall is the plan. We just got confirmation from the Pre-Pharm advisor that everything is fine and there is no concern with the Math prerequisites.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bother with 1025 if you can help it. It made me miserable and made me change my major because I couldn’t handle another semester or two of chem. I made a C. I feel like I could’ve made a C in real chem, too, despite not having a firm high school chemistry knowledge. Simply based on workload, it’s not worth it to go through an extra semester of a tough chemistry class–it’s not a basic overview in any sense. Perhaps having the lab is also helpful; in intro you don’t do any experiments so maybe it’s harder to really get what you’re doing.</p>
