<p>Here are some questions I’ve been thinking about:
<p>Thanks in advance! :)</p>
<p>Also, how hard is chem 112a for my first semester as a freshman? I finished ib hl chemistry and i definitely feel i got at least a 5 or 6 and my two optional topics for the exam was in organic chemistry. I am much more interested in organic chemistry, but is chem 112a and its respective labs really that hard?</p>
<p>Dude, you gotta calm down. just get through the first semester first</p>
<p>The difference is that honors courses tend to be smaller in size (more professor attention), go much more in-depth, and are much more time-consuming (twice as time consuming as non-honors, or even more).</p>
<p>Honors courses do NOT give you a GPA boost. However, if you really really like a certain area, and are strong in that area, and won’t be taking that many units that semester (it would not be a good idea, for example, to take 3 other normal-workload classes alongside an honors class), you may consider taking the class.</p>
<p>Regarding chemistry, what is your major and what college are you in? Depending on the major, you might not be allowed to skip the intro sequence.</p>
<p>Im bioengineering, but I changed my mind to do 3a and 3al now because I havent done 1b (a prereq for 112a).<br>
But anither question to ask, should I phase 1 chem 3a or not take it first semester and take physics 7a?</p>
<p>Also, anyone know about sorkstudies?</p>
<p>^in determining whether to phase I something, look at the berkeley class schedule and see how filled-up the class is already. If there are lots of spots open, you could consider phase II’ing it.</p>
