People try to say it’s not the professors fault but same thing happened to me I went from a D to an A+

I mean I studied but I knew I’d get a C, so I purposely failed, so I could retake it and learn the content really well

Out of curiosity why didn’t you w out?

Bc it was too late to do that 😅 and I had already settled on attempting a C, but then I started cramming and felt sad bc I actually enjoyed orgo and wished I didn’t waste my semester, especially because it was orgo 2, so it would have been my last time taking it. And wanted to give myself more time to study for thermodynamics

Can we DM so I can get advice. Chem is a weak subject for me and it sounds like you’ll have some insight.

I know more people who failed an o chem class than passed them first try. If anything, the people with the best understanding on the subject are the ones who went through the course more than once. At least at my school 🤷‍♂️

No offense but atp that’s just a coping mindset justifying bad grades in orgo

Orgo is a hard class as is tbh. It’s very hard for a lot of ppl to grasp the concept of it or understand enough to do extremely well on the first try. It personally took me until my second attempt in orgo 1 to start grasping to concept of molecular orbitals and hybridization states. It also greatly depends on how good the professor is at explaining things, grading scale, and how content heavy the course is. For my class it was 90% exams, 5% hw and 5% for attendance and lecture questions

Def a hard class but if you’re failing or even close to failing ANY class it’s a skill issue. Professors in stem do suck I’ll admit a lot of the time, but as a college student if you care teach yourself. Orgo is not a class you can get away with not studying or learning the material. I took this class at a very prestigious pre med school with a notoriously difficult chem department and ended with an A-. While the system is to blame, I see SO many people doing other shit with their time getting

…bad grades and then cursing the class. Work life balance is so important in college but orgo is not a class to be fucked with. If you don’t understand the content go to LA sessions, office hours, there are countless opportunities to practice. Even if you have class for some of them I’ve never come across a professor that if you are nice and email them and show your enthusiasm for learning has not been accommodating. Not saying this is the case here, just annoying to see…

…people put in way less effort than others and then have the audacity to complain when they of course get a worse grade.

Some people yes, definitely don’t put in work. But me and a group of people in my class studied for hours, every single day, went to every office hour and tutoring session, rewatched videos for weeks and still just couldn’t grasp it the first time. 3/5 of us failed
