I got an A in General Chemistry I and II, but I don’t think we had a good teacher. I don’t think we learned everything we should have learned. We learned about balancing equations and did a bunch of calculations. We didn’t learn about the Louis structures at all. How important is it to have a good background in General Chemistry to do well in Organic Chemistry? I’m a biology major (junior year) and I really need to do well in Organic.
