→Chem 342: Synthetic Organic Chemistry
For those with enough testicular fortitude, this class is interesting but the workload is constant and makes intro orgo look rather pale by comparison. Getting through this class with a decent grade is a blessing bestowed upon few. With Smith its a whole new world of pain, he's a great prof and helps out a lot but with:
* Weekly Problems sets averaging 6-8 hours as a minimum(more like 12-14);
* Two "6 hour" take-home midterms that would frighten the bravest chemist;
* Labs Weekly labs that range from 4 to 8 hours long of actual in lab time (every week);
* Running Spectral Instruments (outside of lab) 1 hour;
* Spectral Analysis and lab prep that take about an hour;
