- Today I am going through my records and telling you guys about every single class I needed to take to earn my Chemistry degree. This was 4 hard years of work in the chemistry major and I finally graduated in 2022 and I want to break down every class I needed and a bit about each class to show you guys what it takes to major in chemistry.
interesting...we have to take Organic1,2,3/Inorganic1,2,3/Pchem1,2,3/Analytical1,2,3(All 1&2s have labs also)/Separation techniques/Identification of organic compounds(+its lab)/Spectroscopy/Physical Organic Chemistry/Mathematics in chemistry/Orgranometallic chemistry as our main courses at Sharif University
also you have an awesome channel, love your content, keep it up
ur my favorite chem major :) im a junior in highschool and im sooo looking forward to my chem journey!!!
Crying for my upcoming Biochemistry and Physical Chemistry :'(( I hope I also survive this semester. Bless my soul and cheers to this channel more!
ayo that's a double kill combination isnt it
anyways how's PChem going?
@@justapassie I don't think I have any braincells left lol. Barely alive
When I taught general chemistry 1 lab, it wasn't a high school class. My students did chemistry after lab 3. High school was 3 hours away and they thought it was chill that I didn't require them to sign a sheet of paper to leave the class.
And also do make a video on books that are necessary for learning chemistry at its best ......that are available on Amazon...!!!!
The only deviations I had were taking marine chem and chemical toxicology (pharmaceutical focus aka drug toxicology) as electives. Not to mention, you took a couple engineering/materials engineering classes which I did not do. We have an advanced ochem class (4220) that is required, but then there is also a grad-level class called organic synthesis. We actually have a choice between taking bio chem 1 lab and structure determination lab ( a more advanced organic lab class).
I hated biochem 1 (CHM 4304); too much memorization and not enough chemistry. At least at my school, the class was 70-80 % biology and 20-30% chemistry. I was expecting a more 50/50 split and was not happy with the reality. And yes, it was the chem department class and not the bio department one. Loved O-chem 1 and thought O-chem 2 was meh. The thermo part of pchem at my school was probably 60-70% gen chem topics, but more advanced/in-depth. My interests are in instrumental analysis/analytical chem ( for its practical purposes and applications) and synthesis/organic ( for its conceptual beauty and applications to color and formulation) chemistry.
Do you see yourself going into materials science/catalytic chemistry?
Please make a video on study techniques for learning chemistry.....!!!!
Can Feynman Technique of study applicable on chemistry......most of the topics....?????
You seem to have much more maths and physics than i do in my chem degree... eek. Worried my uni is leaving stuff out.
How to build a stronger base in chemistry for competitive exams.....????
And standard books you recommend for building up s stronger understanding in chemistry...????
Have you considered making educational content on your channel for us learning chemistry?
Can you talk about your general education classes
Could you suggest best chemistry lectures on RUclips....?????
I find it interesting the differences in classes. So for instance I had to take Calc 3 (multi-variable calculus) as part of my (in-progress) degree requirements (though I'll definitely be reviewing this during the summer before I go to take P-Chem). Also I wasn't required to take Biochemistry although a lot of people in my university do to fulfill an upper division chen requirement, so instead I am taking a grad level organic course this semester to satisfy that upper division requirement with something that is more relevant in what I want to do long term. Also my Quantitative Analysis course seemed above average in terms of intensity. The first third of the semester was basically a recap of the more essential gen chem concepts with some deeper ionization concepts thrown in, the second third was basically an entire entry level statistics course crammed into three weeks (which I know as I took an intro statistics course at the same time and we covered everything in Quant and more compared to that class) and the last third was over the more fun quantitative instrumentation techniques (like ICP-AES, GC, Mass Spec, etc). It was also a very intense workload as it also had two labs a week. My buddy and I referred to it as "Anal". I did more work for that class than my other three I took that semester (including O-Chem 2) combined. I ended up with a solid B due to a double exam day where I prioritized studying O-Chem 2, and it's the only grade I wish I could go back and improve. I've heard some students at my Uni say Quant is harder than P-Chem and I definitely found it harder than O-Chem (though I enjoyed it significantly less). Anyways, just thought I'd add some perspective for any prospective chem majors to show the variation between universities.
did you do any internships during school? if so, do you have any advice on getting one?
I didn’t do internships but I did work in a research lab as a lab assistant both during the semester and summer breaks.
For getting into the lab I simply looked through my schools website for active labs in my fields of interest and emailed the professor who ran the lab. He got back to me and after talking I was offered a position to work in the lab!
So now that you've graduated, what are your plans? Are you going into industry? Grad school? Something else? I'm starting my sophomore year as a chem major and can't decide what I want to do with my life haha
I’ve decided to go into industry! Grad school may be an option for the future but for now I’m looking to start working.
@@zahlazizi Ok cool! That's kind of the route I'm considering as well; I've been in school for a long time and went through a major change (from physics to chemistry), so a Master's or PhD on top of it all seems like quite a time commitment! You never know, though.
I mean best professor lecture videos.....on RUclips....????
If we have a choice to choose between chemistry and computer engineering which one should we choose? (With the priority of job opportunities and salary rate)
Engineering for easy jobs and high salary. These aren’t very related majors so go with the one you like more.
I’m looking at you right now. Cute
