Imagine youre learning about something simple like Diels Alder for the first time, but instead of something nice and clean like an interaction between a simple diene and cyclohexene, you get multi ring structure that takes 5 minutes to draw, and the pushing arrowd are flying all around a fucking chair structure will all sorts of shit on it. It wad totally disorienting.

It was a nightmare for me and I felt terrified that I would fail. Im not a chem major so im sure plenty of you would find it doable, but the class majorly needed to be dumbed down, nobody wound up learning anything. She had a reputation that I ignored when I registered, what a mistake. Still passed though.

Pic related, its one of her fucking problems.
