At my school, Biochemistry is a single-semester course which has the pre-reqs of Orgo 1 OR instructor permission. The course is offered maybe once every 2-3 years, and it's being offered this Spring by an instructor with one of the best reputations on campus, as far as fairness and helpfulness. The professor allowed me to sign up, despite not having the organic background. He suggested checking out Khan Academy prior to the beginning of the semester.
My question to ya'll: What are the "greatest hits" of Orgo that appear in a single semester Biochem class? Are there some skills in particular that should be practiced (i.e. redox reactions) before I plunge in? Obviously, every class has a different scope of material. I believe my professor is planning to teach it with a more biological emphasis, rather than chemical.
