Blog #64: Classes...


This blog is another one of those “blog about anything” blogs, so I think I am going to blog about my classes. This is probably going to be a pointless and annoying blog, but I have a lot on my mind and would like to get it off my chest. I am currently taking chemistry 123, biology 113, and obviously English 110, so my class load is kind of a lot. Chemistry 123, where do I start with this one, well it is supposed to be the easiest of all the general chemistry courses, but it is not any easier than the others. I ended up in a night class with a not so great teacher, in my opinion. I feel that the practice problems we do and the things we learn in lecture and the book have nothing to do with the exams. I about died the other day during the exam because I had only answered probably 5 out of the 25 questions and had 40 minutes left. I study a lot and do all the assignments. I am not kidding you I spend a lot of time on chemistry because I know it is the hardest subject for me. I study about 3 hours a day for it and even have a tutor. Some how, none of this is helping me and I know I am studying the right way because I had Zellmer. But, enough about chem. Biology on the other hand is not as tough. It is just a lot of reading and work. The chapters are really long, but for the most part the book does a good job explaining the concepts. Also the labs are super easy compared to the chem labs. I have a total of 5 hours of lab every Tuesday and Thursday, so having one easy two-hour lab is nice. I just do not like how they switch teachers half way through the course. It just messes up the way the exams are and the requirements. Also there is this stupid essay that we have to write about where we find four articles that relate to the topics we learned and write about them. As if I don’t have enough to do with chem and English. Well, that’s enough about my classes for today. I am sorry if I sounded annoying or boring!

  2. I don't think I know them. Maybe if I saw them I might know them. Yeah it is a pretty intense class and even if you study a lot I still feel like it is impossible to do really well. thanks and I wish you luck with your classes as well

  4. I am so glad that I am done with chemistry. It was hard and I thought it was pointless. Good luck with the rest of your classes in the future!
