06/02/2008 | Though I was majoring in history during college, I was also double majoring in chemistry. However, I became ill and had to forego my chemistry degree. Ironically, my first job out of college was as a chemist and a coating firm.

01/18/2008 | Learning how to make various compounds that can do some rather cool things. Oh yeah!

01/15/2008 | I was no fan of it, but my high school chemistry teacher was senile and shouldn't have had access to volatile chemicals...

01/14/2008 | Chemistry fascinated me. It still does. This was so good for me in both high school and college.

05/01/2007 | At one time I wanted to be a chemical engineer, but got sidetracked and ended up a civil engineer. Oh well, it pays the bills...and has been fun!

03/09/2007 | This was probably my biggest challenge in high school. I enjoyed it, except for the exams which were as stressful to me as the bar.

03/09/2007 | I would probably hate chemistry, but fortunately we have one of the best teachers ever who explains everything clearly and makes it interesting. It is now one of my favourite subjects, and is highly useful, not to mention fascinating, to find out 'how the world works'.

08/03/2006 | Organic chemistry came much easier to me because it was like a foreign language. General chemistry was like hell on earth for my lack of proper math education.

03/13/2006 | Rated lower because I just didn't prefer it; I made fairly good grades in it either way though. The class just didn't allow me much room for creativity; I like classes where I can relax, have fun, and be artistic in some way. Chemistry, although interesting at time, was really strict as a class simply because of the chemicals and seriousness that had to be displayed while working with them. I can be serious, but I got real bored, real fast...

*Remembers "d" average back in high school.* I had to do freaking summer school!

02/14/2005 | It is easier then physics, but still hard at the higher levels. Although I never did it as a subject, I studied some chemistry books and it was actually very interesting. It is amazing, these science subjects remind me of God. We just think of God as being religious, but that is far from the truth. He is the inventor of the laws of physics, chemistry, maths and logic. I wouldn't be surprised if Jesus would have loved those subjects if they taught those subjects 2005 years ago! To me, it shows the intellect of God because what man knows about physics, maths, chemistry, confuses a lot of other people. Only certain types of people are good at physics and chemistry. But what those people know is pittance compared to ALL the laws of physics. A lot of man's knowledge is thoery. If we were given a sudden revelation of all there was to know about how God created the universe, I don't think Einstein (how ever you spell his name) would have understood it either.

01/31/2005 | Depends on the Chemistry. Stay away from Organic Chem.!!! I took this in college and it was terrible. Think of 30 or 40 step reactions where every step depends on little things that work in some instances and not in others. You never know when they work and when they dont so you have no clue how to come up with the right answer.

09/28/2004 | A nightmare. This is a wolf in sheeps clothing; it may give you a science credit, but it is pure ambiguous, painful math. Thank God I'm not taking Physics.

09/11/2003 | I had both chemistry and physics in high school, and if I had to pick, I'd say chemistry was my favorite. Not as many equations to remember, the labs were more fun (mixing stuff up and watching it explode, for example), and the teacher I had made it interesting for those in my class who tended to sleep a lot. We even did the unthinkable one day....mixing bleach with ammonia. The smell was unbearable; so bad in fact that they had to evacuate the entire building. They cancelled all classes in order to clean out the lab, so at least I got something out of it!

09/02/2003 | I had a horrible teacher while I took it this past year in my sophomore of high school. At certain times, it made you understand things that you don't even think would be taught in school (e.g. propane (C3H8)is part of the alkane family of hydrocarbons, which is a component of organic chemistry, whose general formula is CnH2n+2). That's probably the most useful thing I learned in chemistry. Biology is much more useful in future endeavors. I have forgotten much of what I learned in the 2 months since I've stopped taking the class, so that goes to show that you have to be involved in it at the time to retain the main information.

07/04/2003 | I couldn't understand chemistry at all. Like physics, it involved way too much math and I found it all way too confusing. The expiraments we did were kind of interesting though. The only "A" I got in chemistry was for lab work.

06/14/2003 | I took this in college and enjoyed it to some extent, but a lot of this stuff just never made any sense to me. When a teacher says for me to do something a certain way, I'm one of those who needs to know WHY I'm doing it this way. I have to understand the whole thing before I jump into an experiment. Also, my professor in college was very much pregnant while she was teaching this class, and she would give the bare minimum of explanations and then she would be off on something else. Balancing equations was never one of my strongpoints either.

05/24/2003 | On the boring side, until you get to the more interesting experiments. I mean, come on, there are chemicals out there that combust when you add WATER to it, how cool is that? It's just too bad that they don't emphasize the more interesting aspects of chemistry in the classroom.

05/23/2003 | Chemistry tends to be a school subject that on a scale of 1 to 10 ranks at about one among most school students. As with Biology, Chemistry is just as important because it gives us a better and more clear understanding of how all things work. It can be tedious, but rewarding once you get a handle of it.
