...problem is that the discipline of chemistry has outgrown the meager number of lower level chemistry courses that are now offered.

The pre-med finds much of the material that is presented irrelevant to his main interest -- bio-chemistry. The chem concentrator is held back by the large number of relatively uninterested pre-meds in his classes. The instructors are faced with the problem...
