I've heard of both cases, I have no idea which one is true. It would be best to call the chemistry department an inquire before you decide to retake the course; since it can make a big difference.

The funny thing is, the pre-requisite for the 3rd year courses I'm taking is a fourth year course. Why, oh why would the course skip a whole year level? Confusing.

By the way, they are 3rd yr linguistics courses (if anyone has taken any).

Will these courses be too difficult for a mere second year?

If anybody has an insight, it would be excellent.

thanks y'all

For whatever reason, I tended to do poorly in second year classes overall. I took a bunch of third year classes in second year, and I did fine in all of them. But I took second year classes in fourth year, and didn't do so hot. I still don't know why.
