Quite a useful course for detailed molecular orbital theory and atomic orbital theory. I wish I knew about this course before taking Organic Chemistry.

Course Selection - CHEM 220, CHEM 266, MATH 235 for CS 2 points, 15 comments
“CS student here. I'm planning to take CS 246E, CS 241E, MATH 239, and CO 250 in Fall, but I am not sure about the 5th course. …”
u/uwaterbottle: “I'd suggest 266 over 220 if you can do orgo because 220 has mandatory tutorial quizzes that are a pain and no lecture content is posted online. …”
u/uw_user: “… Chem 217 fits this, but it's hard, right? For Chem 266, I looked at the first chapter, and this is the stuff I have the most trouble with, esp when drawing all these structures. …”
