<p>Getting an A is up to you, after each midterm (which makes up the bulk of your grade), the professor will post cutoffs for the exam giving you an idea of what your current grade is. However, this is not final as the classes are curved at the end and other points such as lab and quizzes are not factored in. If you find yourself doing poorly, then you obviously need to put in some more effort whereas if you getting “As” on the exams then you’re in a great place.</p>
<p>Does FSH even take people 2nd semester? I’ve never heard of anyone trying to do that considering its a 2 semester program and you’re essentially missing half of it. I guess you could email and ask about it.</p>
<p>In Chem, the homework assignments are not collected or graded so they don’t change and they are there for your benefit. Whether you want to do them is up to you. Of course the tests change, but the material is the same and there’s only so many ways you can approach problem solving. One semester will be solve for this variable where as another semester will be solve for another variable.</p>
