I wanted to get an idea of how people have done in General Chemistry in the past. I'm on track to get around a B or B+ but I'm not really sure what the average is.
general chem is teh sux.
I got a B- in gen chem I and a C+ in gen chem II. I was, however, able to pull A's in ochem. again...gen chem blows!!!! If you're worried, dont....ochem is much more fun.
I didn't imply that success in one led to success in the other....especially since I wasn't very successful in gen chem and went on to to good in ochem, and since you generally have to take gen chem before ochem you'll probably never know if success in ochem will lead to success in gen chem. Theres nothing to worry about if you get C's in chemistry either (*living proof) A couple of D's and W's elsewhere will not doom you either (*living proof)For some people. I loved gen chem, hated o-chem, and I like biochem pretty well. They're all very different courses; success in one does not mean you'll be successful in the other. As long as you pull B's or better in chemistry classes, there's nothing to worry about. One C will not necessarily doom you either, even though it's not ideal (*living proof*).

I'm gonna assume you are at IU because of your name and picture...
Are you at IU Bloomington? I think I got a B or B+ in C117, but there was a pretty big curve, I think tests averaged 59s and they made whatever was average a C or something (I took it in 2005, so I kind of forget how that worked). But instead if taking N330, I did C106 at IUPUI this past summer and got like a 98 or something... (And I would totally recommend doing that if you can!)
If you don't go to IU, then nevermind this!
Yeah, I do go to IUB. I can't really figure out how the grading is going to work because they haven't curved anything yet. I got a pretty good grade on the first test and have been doing really well except for the quizzes (8am friday mornings ). As long as I can pull a B or B+ I will be happy but I have no idea if they will curve it or not. Do you remember when they curved your score or how they did it?
