I don’t know how to tell if they are taught by a professor or TA? I went and looked at the names and they are all American/English names, if that helps. I do know, even with my daughter in honors, that her calculus 1 class is a mixture of all different majors, so some science majors are in that class with my daughter. She tested out of calc 1 though but still chose to take it over as a refresher. So maybe calc 2 is a smaller class. My older daughter had trouble in calc 2 and was glad she also refreshed with calc 1 when she first started OSU (she is a senior now).

If I remember right, when my older daughter had her chemistry lecture, it was a big class. Once she got to organic chemistry, it was very small and she loved it and did extremely well (Aced it). She did have a foreign professor but she said he was a hoot and made the lecture interesting.

Only the medical related engineering fields have to take chemistry(biomedical, etc). The others do not. My daughter is majoring in computer and electrical and may end up in mechanical.

Good luck to your kids! From the stats you gave, they should have no trouble getting in to both Ohio State and their Honors program!
