Academic

Course recommendations

- There are some great teachers epesically Green, he is the best chemistry teacher and many others are not that dedicated or are assholes like Johnson and Schurko. - Physical Chemistry sucked, but organic was awesome. 1st year is easiest, 2nd year is toughest, 3rd year is very hard first semester but easy second and 4th year is almost as easy as first year. -For physical chemistry (Schurko) ask someone for old exams since 2 out of the 4 midterm questions will be similar in physical chem. Analytical chem sucked.
