There are 2 organic chem teachers each semester here (Zhang/J in the Fall and Zhang/Greyson in the Spring).

Zhang (who I’m taking this semester, as well as next) is rumored to have insane curves. According to my friends from previous years she curves the average to a B+. So, in this case, I guess you could say there is grade inflation. The other teachers, on the other hand, apparently give out few A’s and curve to a C or C+. This is all word of mouth, of course, but I have talked to a few people all from different years.

The people who made the 55 actually did only get slightly above half the test right. That is how it’s supposed to be at any school, though. It’s not high school anymore. You can’t go into a class hoping to make an A or a 100 on everything because the tests simply aren’t designed that way. Seriously, though, don’t be scared. I’m heading into my organic chemistry I final with a low A (without the curve). It can be done!!

If you have any specific questions about the neuro program feel free to ask! I love all the professors/classes/opportunities associated with the field of study :)
