I 100% agree, but as a current orgo 2 student, the professors make it all about memorization and grades, and med schools make it all about that letter grade. I don't think we're afraid of the material itself, but of the expectations that come along with taking a course like this.

I want to learn and and not get intimidated by courses like such, but when they accompany these courses with tests, assignments deadlines, timmed quizes, papers, the grading system, etc it's hard not to get intimidated...

yeah his explanation of line bond structures is like section 1.1- let's see how the audience feels after conformational isomers and chair flips

I have such love for this science which made the class even more discouraging not because it was hard, but because there was a large amount of thoughts/ideas without the proper depth of explanation. O-Chem 1 literally dips your toe into the real world of chemistry with expectations to know less and memorize more. The entire semester I found myself asking, "yeah.... but why??" with answers along the lines of, "you'll learn that later". This lead to a consistant 77-78% in the class with exams that I felt as if I was being asked complex questions with provided generalized information. I am an analytical thinker and could care less for memorization because memorization and comprehension are not equal. I am not paying tuition to memorize, I am paying tuition to LEARN.

@kevinfarrell3324

Yea a lot of memorization is needed, but is required to "learn" why some things happen. For any STEM class, it is important to not only know how to do something, but what is actually happening. So its not the case of knowing less and memorizing more, succeeding in any STEM class requires both and you will probably not do well if you don't have both.

I took it twice, dropped it and then I transferred to another college retook it and my teacher changed my whole perspective on it. I started to understand and love chemistry.

As someone that is studying organic chemistry as a graduate student, I appreciate how he takes a step back to realize how much this field is so integrated into a lot of different aspects. I think one thing that scares students off to organic chemistry is that it's a different mindset of understanding this field. In organic chemistry, you learn the reactions and core concepts, but to implement those you need to think in a more critical thinking perspective. I believe that's what makes this class so scary for those that have to take it if they are pre-med, because they are used to regurgitating information but that doesn't fly in organic chemistry.

Very captivating approach to a tremendously cool and crucial subject. Thank you for your contribution.

Excellent! Reminds me of my Organic Chemistry class umpteen years ago.

I'm about to take the second semester of ochem, for the 6th time. Every time I take it I spend ~6 hours a day on it, only to fail the tests. I go to office hours, email professors, do okay on the homeworks... just fail the tests. I've passed every other class in my major, but can't graduate because of this 200 level entry course. I actually like the material too, it's interesting stuff. I just wish I knew how to learn it. Thinking about having to take it AGAIN though makes me want to cry because it makes me feel like a failure.

Sir, you told everything thing so beautifully started with a drug revolving the chemistry in each sense so possible. 👍

Very inspiring, reminds me of a friend who quit industry for awhile to teach at his alma mata. Totally enthusiastic, dedicated and commited, a brilliant synthesis. He became totally despondent after 4 years. You either "get/love chemistry" ,or the most part. you don't. I'm not saying you can't do well,,,,,BUT...you either love it or you don't.

This natural Vs synthetic argument should be really emphasized in the general consciousness. Just because something's made in a lab doesn't mean it's bad, likewise just because something's natural doesn't mean it's safe
