Do I need a lot of time with these 2 chem classes? I will also take english and speech this summer. Being a mother of a baby of 19 months old, I hope I can handle both baby and classes
if you compare to organic chemistry then its a piece of cake...lol
It depends......
Some people really get chemistry. It's like math, it just makes sense to them. I wasn't one of those people. Gen Chem II is the devil. Not only was it difficult, it was BORING (i found it uninteresting). I felt I and II were so different!
also its really going to depend on what kind of professor you get. Chem I was pretty easy overall but Chem II was definitely more difficult. In Chem II, there were a bazillion equations to memorize and we didn't get an equation sheet.

I'm scared nowChem I was fine
Chem II was quite a challenge. Hundreds of problems...literally. I never worked so hard for a B.
dont be scared. as long as you do a lot of practice problems, you will be fine. you'll naturally memorize the equations and constants as you do them, so dont worry about anything about having to memorize a lot because it's really not that bad, especially compared to the other classes youre gonna have to take heh.
i guess the two people above me are correct, having the right teacher will make the class alot easier on you. definitely go to ratemyprofessors.com and take advantage of the resource

thanks for letting me konw the importance of the concepts.I didn't find chem 1 or chem 2 very difficult as long as you grasped the material and did the homework problems. Chemistry requires you to "look at the big picture" and alot of the theories are related, and makes conceptual sense in the long run. I know alot of people try and memorize homework problems, but I tell them they should try to grasp the concepts (especially, electronegativity, molecular models, cations/anions, etc) at least the stuff that will carry on to Ochem.
Someone mentioned "enthalpy" and "entropy" problems, those will carry on through organic chem (certain extent), biochem (early on), and to a small extent in physiology. People should try to grasp them in Gchem, so they don't struggle with those terms later.
