Chem 340 1 point, 2 comments
“Has anyone taken Chem 340? How was it? Is it like 140L where one hour is a lecture and then you have 3 hours to finish the lab and hand it in at the end of the period?”
u/chamaeleons: “… Same early/late day policy as Chem 250L/Chem 350L. Since all the labs are already outlined in the book you can work ahead on them if you want. I really enjoyed the course overall! I don't recall any of the labs after first year having a time limit (at least the ones I took). …”

So a lot of people complain the school is too hard whenever someone passes away 47 points, 32 comments
“A common thing I run into is that whenever someone passes away is that there will be a group of people who start complaining how their courses are too hard and how "hard courses" or "coop stress" …”
u/KateGosselin: “To be honest a lot of programs have gotten easier throughout the past 10 years (specifically science programs)”
u/WaterpooGod: “… I.e, a computational chemist doesn’t need to know synthetic chemistry (CHEM360L) while learning how to crunch data (CHEM350L) would be more useful. …”
