Don't worry! I was really worried about that class when I took it last term. It didn't help that I rarely went to class (anxiety issues)
Everything turned out alright. My advice to you would be to make sure you study the online and in class quizzes very well, and memorize all the amino acids (just keep drawing them over and over).
Search "amino acid" on the google play store or app store. You'll find an app specifically for testing your amino acid knowledge from structures, to codes/abbreviations and pKa values. Make sure to open it up at least once a day. It takes zero effort to pull it out and do a few questions on the bus ride home.
Make a study group please. I would suggest working on the quizzes and assignments in groups and just practice the questions and concepts on the slides over and over again. You will find it easy this way.
Make sure you have a prof other than Gilbert.. and do not solely rely on the slides because that's what I did and I nearly failed the course. Make sure you have friends in the class to study with and ask questions.
Study with someone, even if they are not in your class. If you are a girl, first name starts with R, I would be willing to sit down in my free time and quiz you on your notes. My mom teaches this stuff, so I will probably know half of it from dinner conversations back in high school.
OP wrote "...I feel like I'm slowly dying every time I have that class" THAT CLASS we're not talking about biochem program. Agreed tho, unnecessarily challenging
Nobody gives a shit about your schedule or program. You make enough money on co-op to pay for everything and you ride the grade curve like it's going out of style. What a fucking joke.
Don't worry!

ReplyDeleteBiochem was a breeze. -_- How did you even pass orgo
ReplyDeleteI feel like I might know who OP is because of a similar conversation I recently had.

ReplyDeleteI had Gilbert and loved her. Got an A in the course without putting too much effort in

ReplyDeleteFrom the guy from coop, first name starts with A
Why don't you just talk to her, fucking creepy dude
DeleteI don't want to just walk up to her and be all like "hey are you failing?"
DeleteIt's possible but very hard....take i from someone who just graduated (woot!). Lots of hard times...
ReplyDeleteThe program biochem, not 237....fucking joke. How can you not pass that?
DeleteBiochem is one of the toughest programs at UW. Heard nightmare stories about it.
