<p>What makes it such a hard course?</p>
<p>The sheer amount of information. Also the information based on that information. I'm not really sure about the more science/math part of it but organic is to inorganic as geometry is to algebra. They are very different but many of the same concepts apply. That's the best I can do b/c by next year I will know the real answer.</p>
<p>haha more like algebra is to calculus...</p>
<p>Really well I thought with shapes and everything. I don't know I haven't gotten that advanced yet we shall see.</p>
<p>TIME. I don't remember organic as being all that difficult, but there is ALOT of info (thus the big thick book), and you have to move at a brisk pace. In addition to memorization, you need to visualize and think abstractly. Finally, the labs always seemed to take a very long time and sometimes yield less than optimal results, leading to a long time spent on lab reports. It is a really cool subject, though.</p>
