I have to take a semester of biochemistry next year. However the last time I took bio was in high school. Am I [censored]?

What was your favorite chem class?

Is p-chem really has tough as I've heard? I'm pretty decent at math, and from what people say it sounds more like a math class than a chem one.

Did you take the standardized o-chem final?

Biochem shouldnt be a big deal, if it's taught through the chem. dept, it will be heavy chem, if its taught through bio dept. it will be more bio oriented, the biochem i took (2 semesters) was through the chem dept so it was fine, but I did have an extensive bio class beforehand, I would go through the text book, but most of it is pretty basic and easy, they are testing chemical principles and ideas to explain biochem when taught by chem professors...so you should be fine...

My favorite chem class was Orgo, it's how I got sucked into being a chem/biochem major...I wouldn't have been a chem major if I would have known that being one wasn't all like orgo was.

pchem is really really hard, unless you are very good at math, calc 2/3, i'm not, so i suffered. I had to take 3 semesters of it, it was basically a math class with problem sets but the problems were chem related, but it was all math, I died the last 2 semesters, the first semester was an intro. pchem class and kinda light, so it was easier...

We had 4 orgo exams each semester, 3 regular ones and cum. final.
