<p>The professor for Honors Chem I is really good. A large part of your grade is also based on homework and attendance, which means easy points. On the flip side, the exams and the material you cover are much more difficult and intense. Is it worth it? Depends on how hard you’re willing to work. Given the amount of extra work it takes to get an A in honors chem I vs an A in regular chem I, I’d say it isn’t.</p>
<p>ok, i picked honors chem at APA day…i might wanna switch out now, is that possible?</p>
<p>I’m sure that there’s still room in Gen Chem (although certain gen chem professors should be avoided…), so the only issue you may have is with schedule conflicts of existing courses. It should definitely still be possible.</p>
<p>The reason that Roth is really bad is that he expects you to think exactly like he does. He expects you be act like a PhD professor. His explanation does make any sense. Siegel makes 10 times more sense than he does. He is tenured so he doesn’t give a damn. The premed track isn’t that hard, but you should always beware that its a filtering process.</p>
As an incoming freshman, I’m thinking to take calculus, expository writing, chemistry with lab, and biology with lab. Contrary to the HPO office of recommendation, should I take chemistry with lab during the summer and psychology instead, in order to decrease my course load and possibly increase my chances of getting high grades?
