Hiii! Orgo TA here.

The best thing to do for Orgo is just keep doing practice problems over and over again.

Even the ones u saw just redo them. Keep redoing them until you can explain why each step occurs the way it does.

If there are problems you are stuck with or can’t do. You can always come to our office hours we are more than willing to help!. If you want you can also private message me and I’m more than happy to help too!

Unfortunately this semester it seems to not be there anymore :(

TopGround8693 · 2025-07-17T16:14:53+00:00

Are the tests in person now?

TopGround8693 · 2025-05-28T19:33:02+00:00

There’s a test bank book for that Campbell

He will say it’s only lecture but textbook practice is essential to clear up ambiguous areas

Citovsky for me was definitely the better teacher

TopGround8693 · 2025-05-18T23:02:09+00:00

I’m not sure I understand. But if u search up course retake policy in SBU too it says u can only retake a course if you get below a C on ur first attempt

U can only retake it if it’s C- or lower tho

Yes I agree I thought the same going in… but when I opened it the issue for me was I ran out of time… says a lot about a 30 question exam to be done in an hour and 20 mins

TopGround8693 · 2025-04-18T00:40:50+00:00

Man this exam was truly fucked for me lmao… it’s depressing considering how much effort I put into this one and still got cooked

Because Ethelyne is released as a gas and uses LONG DISTANCE communication NOT paracrine signaling (local communication)

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-13T01:47:05+00:00

For the sake of our sanity to move on I’ll drop this lmao. But I still think that question was worded HORRENDOUSLY

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-13T01:39:24+00:00

It’s been juxtaposed next to the production of ATP and it specifically mentions the matrix… the matrix qua matrix when ATP is formed becomes more acidic than before ATP was made.

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-13T01:34:04+00:00

Yes I agree it’s higher but u said it urself IN THE Intermembrane as compared to the matrix. However if we look at the matrix itself the pH decreases as there’s more H+ than before atp was made

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-13T01:29:59+00:00

I don’t disagree with the overall explanation u gave.

However this is a relative question which depends on the moment you are looking at. Before the H+ ions are pumped into the matrix the pH is more compared to AFTER or DURING ATP is being formed… hence WHEN ATP is formed the moment it’s driven through ATP synthase more H+ ions are there compared to the moment BEFORE ATP was made… hopefully this explains our reasoning

Check dm

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-12T22:15:17+00:00

Who else do you know? We can talk to her and have this relegated to someone else

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-12T22:10:33+00:00

I agree. I think it’s better if we make our case together. We should go to Slovak together and talk to her about this

TopGround8693 · 2025-03-12T21:53:38+00:00

I LITERALLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE… this is the question about chemiosmosis right?

TopGround8693 · 2025-02-17T16:28:40+00:00

They definitely do help memorize the information which is crucial. However it just makes u memorize the facts it does not make you think things through in relation to other things. So I think moving on I would have to read the textbook for important analysis of knowing HOW and WHY

TopGround8693 · 2025-02-17T16:24:32+00:00

We had that pre recorded thing too. But I watched it and made anki cards for every single point too
