Organic Chemistry spring2010....questions&help/study group

Published

So I'm taking o-chem starting in a couple of days and I'm extremely nervous. I've taken general chem and let's just say Im more of a bio person. I was wondring if any one could spare some tips and resources??? Also if any one else is taking it....study group?

I will be using the organic chemistry text by Janice smith.

I'm more of a Bio. person myself, but I made it through ok. Unfortunately there isn't much resources, but I took it last semester so its still fresh in my mind, so feel free to PM me with any specific problems/questions you have. I'd love to help! :)

I took O-chem last semester! I did not use any outside study materials

My tips:

Learn the first intro concepts and understand them firmly!!! The class basically adds on to the basic topics you first learn so if you don't understand them to start off with you will get confused! If you did fine in general chem you will do fine in o-chem!

goodluck to you all!
