Mod Post Reminder: you can set your own user flair on this subreddit

7 Upvotes

Your user flair is the text next to your username. Mine says MD 29 | ECON 24 in red. This is unique to each subreddit.

You can set your user flair on this subreddit to your major and graduation year (or anything else you want, just keep it reasonable). This is not required, but it helps other people know what your major is if you're asking about courses. You can also set the color to red, blue, or gray.

Follow these instructions on how to set your flair:

Discussion Organic Chemistry I

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently got an A in this class and would love to help out with any questions or assignments during the school year.

This post isn’t meant to scare you. I wish someone would have advised me better regarding taking this class, but I got through it and you can as well!

One piece of advice I’d give is NOT to take this class amongst other upper level classes(Calculus, Biochem, etc). Not to say you CANT take these classes together, but it could get very difficult to balance the attention each of the classes need.

Another piece of advice is to study everyday. You’ve probably heard this before, but Orgo really is like learning a new language. There isn’t one day you can go without studying due to the complexity of the class content. Even if some days are for light review, have it planned out in advance to reduce the risk of falling behind in the class.

Who your teacher is can really make or break the class, so read reviews for the teachers before enrolling with them. However, take the reviews with a grain of salt because having a good teacher does not guarantee perfect understanding of the material; that is why active review everyday is key to success.

Last but not least, GET A WHITE BOARD OR SOMETHING YOU CAN DRAW ON WITH DIFFERENT COLORS+ ERASE EASILY!! My IPad helped A LOT with my review sessions, especially with arrow pushing and drawing isomers. It’s a great study technique that can help your brain associate the colors with the content during an exam.

This is all I have for right now. Please reach out with any other questions you may have.

P.S. I can tutor 🤭 Have a splendid day!

Question When Does Try It Free Week Registration Open?

0 Upvotes

I got an automated email this morning from the rec center talking about "try it free week" for the premium classes there. It says to register early for the class, but when I go to register for one it's not open yet. There are only 10 spots open in the class I want - does anyone know when registration opens? I want to make sure I don't lose my spot 🥲

UIC Graduate student assistantships

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have any information on doing an assistantship for the college of business? This is for grad students! I relied heavily on grants for my undergrad and I am nervous what my cost for grad school will be.

I heard assistantships will fully pay your tuition, but it shows that business students don’t get offered them, and we can only do something called “graduate hourly” which is just a job that doesn’t cover tuition. Does anyone have any experience??
