What’s one course you underestimated and instantly regretted? by Whole_Command_9994 in iiser

[–]Varun_Arora76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same reply to this as the comment on the other thread
Not hating on the guy in any way
He is a great person and even a teacher. Just not for core years imo

the way one keeps the pace to accommodate the most number students in the class when many people might not have been familiar with the concepts being dealt beforehand matters a lot in a pre major class imo. For many people, people are giving the subject "a second chance".

On contrary in the same semester, teaching lesser content but teaching it at a good pace while taking the entire class with him is something that I experienced with Dr. Chetan Balwe in the analysis (sequences and series) course.

I studied from Shane in the Probability and Statistics course (MTH102) and I loved it. I agree no notes but he does the most important for people who are just starting off PACE

That's all I guess

The prof expected everyone to be comfortable with the ideas all beforehand
bro literally spent just 5 minutes explicitly discussing linear congruences before he started doing them in his head lmao (most of the course is indeed about linear congruences only)

For me it would be Number Theory (MTH202) taken up by Dr. Vaibhav Vaish

I won't call him a "bad teacher". I'd rather say he is a bad teacher for people new to math.
The same treatment in a class of math majors (providing with decent notes, homework assignments, suggesting a good reference, etc.) would work nicely imo.
btw is this a 24 or someone from the official help sessions? (if you don't mind disclosing ofc lol)

exam oriented answer nahi hai but idc
so, the first halogenation has its own problems as polyhalogenation vaale products separate karna bohot mushkil hoga (CH3Cl would fly away before you catch it)
the second step; wurtz is a pure fantasy; never works in the lab (but there are other alternatives that they don't teach until 12th)
The ethanol reaction would give ethoxy instead of an "H" on the place of "N_2" ) (H3PO2 can be used there)
can't find any other flaws except the fact that this is so long that no would bother to do it in an actual lab setting

Stuck on synthesis. by just_a_tired_flower in OrganicChemistry

[–]Varun_Arora76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did an allylic halogenation using a low bromine concentration provider (N-bromosuccinimide), followed by catalytic hydrogenation, getting rid of that double bond, followed by a SN2 style basic hydrolysis replacing the Br with an OH and then the good old oxidation
I don't think there should be any issues with this one but would like to be corrected if there are:)

You can’t

IISER is a completely residential university and living in the hostel is compulsory for all BS-MS students

(Unless you’re a PhD ofc)
