OK...my take on it (and I was a Chem Engineering major, PF...not Chemistry
):
* Take the class if you can lighten your load in other areas. Do NOT take the class if you also have four other challenging classes for the semester.
* Get the tutor early and use the first couple of "slow" weeks to work ahead -- the early start will help you when the going gets tough
* Tell the teacher that you're taking the class and get his/her support -- often they will go the extra mile for the truly interested student
* Take a "fun" class to balance out all that Chemistry -- between the class and the lab Chem can be very tedious. It was NOT my favorite subject, but one of those "rites of passage" for both my program and yours.
If you need any morale boosters or anything, I am happy to provide. It's been a few years, but I believe I can dust off the Chemistry part of my brain.
Oh ~~ and if you want to come up and visit the OSU vet school, you're welcome to crash at my place...I live only about 1.5 miles away.
