I would try to fit as much practice as possible rather than focusing on reading the textbook. The class focuses much more on constant application than memorizing.

I would pay more attention in 51A especially with acid base chemistry because this is what I struggled most with in 51B and 51C. I memorized acid base chemistry for the midterms rather than really understanding it. Other than that, I think I understand Ochem now to a point where I can predict what may happen with two molecules. This is something that I never thought I would be able to do.

I would stress less about taking it. It is possible to learn and master all of the topics with enough hard work and practice. There was nothing I found impossible to learn

# data[].attributes.body
I would stress less about taking organic chemistry and not worry myself over something that was not as bad as many people make it out to be. All you need to do is practice with the content in the textbook, discussion worksheets, and Sapling and you'll do well.

I would definitely do practice problems way in advance as opposed to letting them pile up towards exam dates.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were to take the entire 51series again, I would definitely continue doing the textbook problems. I did this for 51A and got an A-, then I slowly stopped doing them and my grades reflected this. I would definitely do all of the practice problems available.

# data[].attributes.body
I would do more practice problems from the book instead of just the worksheets and homework because the more practice I do, the more I understand the concepts and master it.

Practice daily.

# data[].attributes.body
I would take more time to really understand the material since most of it is cumulative and carries through all three of the courses.

# data[].attributes.body
Furthermore, a larger focus on NMR would have helped since it is very important for the 51L series.

# data[].attributes.body
I would start doing the suggested practice problems alot earlier. I would tend to cram all of the problems in the week of the midterm and that never worked out well. I would also seek help as I struggled a lot through the entire series.

# data[].attributes.body
I would focus less on reading the book but actually doing the end-of-chapter problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I WOULD LEARN THE MECHANISMS AND REACTIONS AS SOON AS THEY WERE TAUGHT instead of cramming last minute and stressing myself out. Ochem really is a lifestyle bc there's just to much to cram.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have practiced synthesis more often!!! I also wish I spent more time on book problems. I didn't study as hard as I should have for 51A, but I learned for 51B and 51C.

# data[].attributes.body
I would do many more practice problems and try to UNDERSTAND over trying to MEMORIZE.

# data[].attributes.body
Unlike biology you need to work on the problems rather than studiously reading the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I would do more problems at the end of each chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were to take the entire 51 series over again, I would change my study habits. I feel like I would have gotten a better grade for 51A and 51B if I studied using the textbook and doing extra practice problems.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were to take the entire series over again, I'd definitely change my study habits and focus more on doing practice problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I would definitely do corresponding practice problems right after learning the concept in lecture to really solidify my understanding instead of doing them all before the exams.

# data[].attributes.body
Ask for help sooner if I didn't understand something instead of letting the problem get bigger.

# data[].attributes.body
I would study for 51B differently. 51B is wildly different than 51A and your study habits NEED to change.

# data[].attributes.body
Practice, practice, practice!!!! I would 100% do problems throughout the quarter, following along with the material I learned that week instead of cramming everything at the end of the quarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I would definitely do a lot more practice problems, especially the retrosynthesis ones, and I would not focus on taking notes from the textbook.
