@kel @IanCBell @typhlosion Yes, this is true. I feel that chemistry ends up a widely loathed subject because of terrible early teaching. Just hurling masses of information at youngsters who have no context in which to put it.
@kel @mona @IanCBell @typhlosion The professor's true attitude was closer to making gen chem a semester of movie trailers for the advanced chem classes. The whole department really liked having gen chem and ochem as their way to get pre-med bio students to change their major to chemistry.
@mona @kel @IanCBell @typhlosion My intro to chemistry class was mostly the professor saying that everything we were learning was probably false and to take various 300 & 400 level classes to learn anything that remotely resembles the truth.
