I will be taking Orgo this summer and cant decide where to take it. Can anyone share their experience of taking orgo at another university (york or utm maybe). How long was the course, and was it easier than the orgo offered at mac (if you can tell).

Thanks

aRe you talking about organic chemistry? Because i so want to do the course over the summer but don't know where either.

Err, if you only need to take CHEM 2OB3, you could do it now. Capretta seems like a great prof.

So does anyone know the Summer 2010 Course Site that informs studets the equivalent courses offered at a different university that is the same to mac's courses?

im interested in taking orgo 2A03 in the summer. I heard york offers both orgo's together or some thing

i think at other universities , it's offered as a 6 credit course so it will last the whole summer and you'll get a credit for chem 2OA3 + 2OB3 . but if you only need to take only 1 of them (3 credits in total) , then i'm pretty sure you can only take it at mac b/c most other universities offer 6-credit courses and not 3 . there's a course equivalent page in the mac website somewhere if u wanna make sure : )

Course equivalents, in case anyone is still curious:

Call me crazy but I actually read "Orgo Experience" as "Orgy Experience" and was sooooo confused.

LOL ... that is pretty crazy !

But in all seriousness ... I just wanna do the 2nd Orgo in the summer. So it shall be mac. Hopefully capretta teaches then too ? Im hearing good things about him =)

The past 2 years in the summer the Professor has been Dr. Pedrech. She is more than an adequate professor for Organic Chemistry, i enjoyed her teaching style and learned from it fairly good -- her tests were very easy and the exam wasnt too bad with the right amount of studying.

I took orgo at york at this summer and it was equivalent to a 6 credit course and took 3 months to complete. There were two different profs- one of them better than the other. i beliiiieve there were 8 labs, one every other week. the labs weren't too bad but the write-ups did take alot of time and were a bit of a pain. There were 3 tests. The first one wasn't bad but the last two were definately alot harder. you will need to study and practice alot for these tests and do the textbook problems. In the end, the prof bellcurved so that most people passed.
