Organic chemistry grade in

Yesterday the final exam results came in for the organic chemistry class I took online. While there were 220 possible points on the exam, the 100% mark was 200 points. Apparently I only missed 2 out of 55 questions for a score of 212. Course grades are also finalized - thanks to that boost from the final exam, I ended up with a grade of 101%.

Organic chemistry: it's over

Yesterday I took the final exam for the online summer organic chemistry course. It seemed to go really well, but I won't know the results until sometime this coming week, probably Monday or Tuesday. The Word document I was writing all my notes in turned out with 13,624 words and 33 pages.

Last chemistry discussion

Tonight was the last live online discussion for my summer organic chemistry course. Yesterday and earlier today I did the practice exams. They went very well, and the problems I had were addressed in tonight's review session. The final exam is two days from today.

Applied for CS course dev role

The professor of the introductory CS class I took this spring mentioned that I might be interested in a role as a developer for the course. These developers would be responsible for the software that runs the class. It seems like serving as a course dev would be a boost to chances of admission to the university's CS program, so I applied today. Interviews are next week.

First chemistry exam went well

A few days ago, results from Monday's organic chemistry midterm came in. I'm fairly certain that I missed at least two questions (I looked those two up at home after the exam), but apparently there was some kind of curve or partial credit, because I got a 99%. That's encouraging, but things are going to get more tricky - the first chapter covered after the exam includes twelve different reaction methods.

Ready for organic chemistry midterm

Tomorrow is the midterm exam for my organic organic chemistry class, so tonight the professor held a review session. The practice exams were straightforward - I knew how to do everything; mistakes came from overlooking little things. I will make sure to recheck my work on the exam.

Coming up on summer midterm

Next Monday is the midterm for the online organic chemistry class. All material covered on the exam has now been done in class. Tomorrow I will complete the homework for the most recently covered chapters, then I can go back and review older material and do the practice exams. I think the intensity will increase further after the midterm, since a lot of the material done at the beginning was at least partially review from general chemistry. We've only done four reactions (SN1, SN2, E1, E2) and I suspect there are a lot more to learn.
