Organic Chemistry has a negative reputation with many students. Part is earned, part is myth, and part is the result of former students complaining about not passing the course, or not getting the grade(s) that they have been accustomed to. Organic can be difficult if approached the wrong way, yet it can be immensely rewarding if the student brings to the table a mix of talent, dedication, and work ethic, along with a desire to develop their problem-solving skills.
