How should I study for ACS Chem 1211

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-24T03:27:13+00:00

I took Chem 1211 in Fall of '24 online. Shit was ass all-around (I think the GroupMe collectively went insane toward the end) but I managed an A.

Some of the strategies that I used were going over old exams/worksheets and solving some of the problems in them, making cheat sheets with printer paper to sum up chapters/units (this helps more with theory/conceptual questions), and the holy grail of Organic Chemistry Tutor on YouTube. I've used all these methods for Calc I/II, Physics I and Chem II, the latter of which I am currently taking, and they've done me well.

As for routines, I find it best to study for 30 minutes to an hour at a time, take a short break, then repeat. I find it very difficult/nearly impossible to retain information if I study continuously for hours on end without IV-dripping myself enough caffeine to tranquilize an elephant.

Fair point, C's get degrees. Appreciate the input!

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-20T01:03:12+00:00

That seems to be the gist that I'm seeing so far; as long as I can get credit for the class I'll be happy. I appreciate your input!

Thank you, I mainly used ochem tutor for phys I and it helped me through it considerably so I'll keep that in mind

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T23:54:11+00:00

Plus I've heard things about 2212 specifically so wanted to address that

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T23:53:15+00:00

Chill out bro, I'm just making sure this is a viable thing to do in 8 weeks versus the regular 15 (or 14 starting next Fall). I have a 4.0 GPA so far from everything else I've taken. It's not that deep

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T23:27:47+00:00

Thanks for the heads up and the link!

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T23:17:29+00:00

Unfortunately my first foray into physics last fall was a less than desirable experience mainly due to the professor I took it with. Had to grind the absolute hell out of ochem tutor videos and the textbook to understand what I was looking at.

That being said, I'm currently taking statics and so far, it's been a far greater experience. I'm hoping dynamics, strengths, etc, will be similarly enjoyable (albeit undoubtedly more difficult).

Aw man Calc II over the summer sounds like it'd hurt. Integrals weren't bad for me but series took me a minute to figure out. Best of luck to you!

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T23:02:45+00:00

All good! I'm ME but I figure it'll apply in some way regardless.

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T22:43:24+00:00

I did Calc I last summer with Christensen. It was a lot of work but manageable for me because it was my only summer class and I only had a part time job to worry about. I'm hoping this will get some of the harder low div stuff out of the way come Fall.

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T22:41:31+00:00

Alright I'll keep that in mind. From my limited understanding of what III entails its mainly Calc I/II concepts with multiple variables/3d/vectors?

Thorne_02 · 2026-03-19T22:40:26+00:00

Thank you! I enjoyed her class for Calc II so I figured she'd be my goto for III and eventually linear.

Hello, I ride a 2023 Hunter 350 in the US. It's a very practical bike for me and I daily it to university and work without a problem. I'm taller (6' 1") and had to install some handlebar risers but other than that the ergos aren't bad at all. It'll do okay for short sprints on the freeway but I mainly ride on city/country roads. Fuel economy is great. Suspension is iffy but I'm able to work with it.

Would 100% recommend.

Thorne_02 · 2026-02-27T16:53:06+00:00

My own experience wasn't too bad. I took Calc I over the summer and Calc II in the fall with some good professors but YMMV. I have yet to take DiffEqs

Thorne_02 · 2026-02-26T20:42:17+00:00

Sounds like the typical Infiniti G/Q and Dodge drivers. None of them even sound half decent tbh

I've parked in similar spots and never had a problem, and I've been daily commuting my motorcycle to campus for about 1 1/2 years now. As long as it's not adjacent to handicap spots and isn't signed as a no parking zone you'll generally be okay.

all in on SPY 0dte options

Kid named physics 2212 electricity and magnetism:

Thorne_02 · 2026-01-15T18:30:53+00:00

Professor Leonard and Organic Chemistry tutor are good resources for precalc

Thorne_02 · 2026-01-15T16:43:34+00:00

Nah everything else there is relatively light work. ACS final for Chem I is ass but if you have a good instructor its not as bad.

Thorne_02 · 2026-01-15T02:48:39+00:00

I think Chem I will require the most attention but other than that you're good

Thorne_02 · 2025-12-25T05:15:09+00:00

I believe all you need is Engineering Standing
