...concentrator can't get away with only one Biology course, Chemistry is a much more important part of the major. Chem. A is better than High School training plus Chem. B. Both are prerequisite to any other Chemistry course, and the student gains a half course by taking Chem. A. Lamb is a good lecturer, but the labs are unorganized and "don't mean too much." The advantage of taking Chem. B is that you can take Chem. 3 the second half year, and then get right into advanced courses in organic chemistry. The labs take two afternoons a week...
Chemistry 3 on qualitative analysis is an essential course. Forbes' lectures are full and concise. The labs, however, will take 10 to 15 hours a week and they don't go along with the lectures, which makes the course a little difficult to organize. Fieser's Organic Chemistry (Chem. 2) is good for learning experimental technique. Fieser himself is said to be a "kind of a clown," and his lectures are the best and major part of the course. This is one of the most popular courses in the department. Chem. 4 is absolutely unnecessary for Divisionals but good...
...basic courses for a concentrator in Chemistry are either Chem A for those who have had no Chemistry of Chem B and 3 both half year courses. Lamb in Chem A is considered good and this course naturally should be taken in Freshman year by one who has had no chemistry and intends to concentrate. B and 3 are an excellent testing ground for the prospective concentrator since they give the initial dose of the kind of laboratory work that will be required. Forbes, while not an inspiring lecturer and at times hard to follow, is very thorough. some thought...
