[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chemist here, yes orgo is hard, and for non chem majors it will probably be the hardest class they ever take.  For chemists, I actually thought quantum chem was a nightmare.

They call it a pre-med weed class, and my bro couldn't hack it and dropped his desire to be a doctor.  and I think this is why it's a weed class...

It teaches a level of logic you don't see in other STEM majors in that it involves both visual and order awareness, which I think is a necessary skill if your ever want to be a surgeon.  Orgo also requires more memorization then needed in maths or physics.  I honestly trust doctors who majored in chemistry better than other docs lol.

I had flash cards for orgo that I still have in my desk!  Each reaction had it's own flashcard and I memorized those cards until I could visualize each one in my head, so when I saw the rxn on a test I could draw it with no prob at all.[/quote]
I have heard some say that BioChem is harder than Organic Chem.[/quote]
Maybe for a few rare professors, but biochem is mostly an intro level course that is just getting kids started on the concepts of proteins, structure-function, enzymes, metabolism and other basic concepts.  It gets very hard at the graduate level, but the intro class usually isn't too bad.[/quote]
