<p>I’m not sure if they teach the same concepts. In comparing Emory’s second semester chem with that of UC Irvine and University of Oklahoma’s second semester chemistry, it appears that Emory requires a greater deal of independent thinking as well as a stronger mastery of the material. Students in Chem 142 (Emory’s second semester chemistry course) are required to design their own experiments to figure something out. I don’t believe this is the case at either of the two schools I just listed.</p>
