| Yeah, MOL 214 (as in most of the MOL classes) is known to be incredibly difficult, but interesting. There are huge curves on the test--the averages are usually around a 40 or 50. I've heard gen chem isn't too bad.
Physics is probably the most difficult out of all of them--weekly quizzes and tons of other pre-meds and engineers in with you make the curve pretty bad.
Orgo has one of the most amazing professors ever, Semmelhack. There used to be two orgo classes, a usual, normal lecture one by Semmelhack and then some weird experiment one run by Maitland Jones where he never lectured and you just did problems for hours... Thankfully he retired, so I guess people will all be going to Semmelhack's now. He honestly tries to make orgo as painless as possible, and he's a very clear and interesting lecturer. Problem sets are optional, only graded whether you hand them in or not. He gives you breaks in the lectures, sometimes brings in cookies and doughnuts. For the labs, you hand in a first draft, they correct everything for you, and you hand it in again, so most everyone gets 100s. And on all the tests, almost every submits a re-grade and they give you points back. And there are 3 tests, and he lets you drop the lowest. Overall, I really, really enjoyed orgo with him, and almost considered switching from Chem E to Chemistry b/c of it. |
