	+ * Word. It is probably one of the best things I did as an undergrad. Learned a ton and my efforts even culminated in a publication. And I draw upon the skills I learned there even today (and I'm no longer in science!). Do yourself a favor and do research as an undergrad! Yes, I mean, YOU.--["Users/CurlyGirl26"]

It is the only way to get into grad school. - - ''Upper Division Courses'' - - * 100 Water Chemistry - A class that runs yearly and is sort of a joint effort with the ["UC Davis Geology Department" geology department]. It applies the concepts learned in the general chemistry courses to the analysis of water. - * This isn't in the general catalog. Has it been changed? I looked and looked, and the closest courses I found were [http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/programs/SSC/SSCcourses.html#0_pgfId-1066290 SSC 102: Soil and Water Chemistry] and [http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/programs/HYD/HYDcourses.html#0_pgfId-1053185 HYD 134: Aqueous Geochemistry]. -["Users/NumiaCairaguas" NC] - * It's new this year. Check the [http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/pdfsupp.html catalog supplement]. - * This class has so far been the most useful general chemistry class for me. ~["Users/Davepoole"] - - * 105. Analytical and Physical Chemical Methods - Lots of the same types of calculations as in Chem 2B. Very little new material, just a lot of more in depth labs and write ups. Very long theory sections. You will spend a great deal of time writing up lab reports as well. There is a lecture in addition to the lab that isn't directly related, and the lab manual may need corrections. - * Despite being scary the labs are nice in introducing many techniques in chemistry, though sadly not NMR. ~Dp - * 107A: Physical Chemistry for bio/other majors... part A - * These classes (both of them) are offered over the summer at a discounted price. ~DP - * 107B: Physical Chemistry for bio majors... part 1 - * 110A. Physical Chemistry: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - Quantum Mechanics. If you like math, have a good working knowledge of Math 21A-C, and enjoy theoretical stuffs, it is a fantastic class. - - * 110B. Physical Chemistry: Properties of Atoms and Molecules - Take 124A first or concurrently, because group theory is not given enough lecture time in this class. Not the most interesting of the chemistry classes. More spectroscopy from 110A, a throwback to 124A and a preview of 110C. - - * 110C. Physical Chemistry: Thermodynamics, Equilibria and Kinetics - More and harder Chem 2B. - - ''A Note on P-Chem'' -Physical Chemistry IS difficult. But, I found Organic Chemistry to be MUCH MUCH worse, however. If your math skills are strong, you should be fine. However, if you can get away with taking the Physical Chemistry for life sciences majors (Chem 107/108, I believe) go for that. Also, avoid Ng unless you are madly in love with PowerPoint - he apparently is. -- ["Users/SarahHillard"] - - 115. Instrumental Analysis - More 105. Very little new material. Long write ups. Neat experiments (roughly 7). - * This is easily the most time consuming class I have taken at Davis. The lab manual is a poorly written joke and the teachers tend to have unreasonably high expectations. Many of the analytical instruments are prone to failure at random times so expect much frustration. - ["Users/DanMasiel"] - * Agreed, as a chemistry student progresses in labs, there is less enrollment in the classes which corresponds to a decrease in funding. This is made worse by the increased cost of maintaining the machines. Lab manuals have yet to be revised and this class promises to consume your dreams and leave you mad. ~DP
Line 107:	Line 88:
- * 121. Introduction to Molecular Structure and Spectra - Good class. Lots of hard theory and very little reading of actual spectra. - - * 124A. Inorganic Chemistry: Fundamentals - This is one of those classes that focuses a LOT on a very few basic ideas - if you don't understand symmetry and point group assignment, you will have a very difficult time drawing molecular orbital diagrams (the final and hardest topic of the class). Do yourself a favor and take this class before 110B. - - - * 124B. Inorganic Chemistry: Main Group Elements - Lots of memorizing periodic trends and basic facts about the behavior of main group elements. Zero theory. No math above addition and subtraction. - - * 124C. Inorganic Chemistry: d and f Block Elements - Quite a bit of theory. Here we see the return of microstates and reaction mechanisms. Still not a whole lot of math beyond addition. - - * 124L. Laboratory Methods in Inorganic Chemistry - 128A minus the carbon and with more pretty colors. The lab reports don't necessarily have a theory section a la 105, 115 & 125, but the calculations are more complex than the O Chem counterpart. The lab manual and supplement are out of date and the former is usually in short supply in the book store. The class is entirely run by the P.P.Powers research group. - * The techniques used in this class make many of the labs worth it, NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectroscopy are useful skills that will come in handy for the physical chemistry methods classes. ~DP - - * 125. Advanced Methods in Physical Chemistry (4) - More spectroscopy. VERY cool stuff. VERY long write ups - only 4 experiments in the quarter.

It is entirely possible for one who hates Chemistry to get a solid A in an O-Chem class, simply by memorizing said rules. That, and the fact that the vast majority of people don't study everyday, is the reason organic chemistry is hated. Oh, did I mention that it ''is'' a bit hard? --["TusharRawat"] - * I completely agree with you, there are far too many rules, exceptions and exceptions to the rules. The actual concepts are quite interesting, but though we have a theory of how everything works, it would be difficult to sit down and prove how it will work. ~["DavePoole"] (survivor) - On a side side note, unionize is a word; it just doesn't have too terribly much to do with chemistry. --["PaulCherng"] - Having survived O-chem now (I hope), the difficulty is that there are quite a few reagents and functional groups, lets say 10 each minimum, this means that there are easily 100 reactions possible (assuming no reaction is a reaction of sorts); now take this system and add to it the complexity of having multiple functional groups on the same molecule, making synthesis difficult by limiting pathways and everything just all the more complex. Note that functional groups are also reagents and that there may be multiple molecules in the same system. This complexity is the reason why organic chemistry is so damn complicated and difficult. However, it also makes the classes pretty difficult for anyone, so stick in there and just don't fall behind more than everyone else (you don't need to out run the bear). ~["DavidPoole"]	+ I do not see why people have such a hard time with organic chemistry, hence I will be starting to post a bit more information on it.
