for me Genetics is pretty straight forward; i just need to get my 3 point test crosses right.

yea Plant/Zoology is going to be a pain to memorise :(

I studied the plant section, thought it was all good. Then did the prac exam and got like 50% on that seciton, i'll probably have to memorise that section of the exam.

Is it just me or is Chemistry fucking impossible?

I thought I understood most of it in the lectures, but apparently I was vacant for a semester.

Just did my first trial exam and scraped 57% on the multi choice wouldn't have done much better on the SA.

Don't worry I went through that stage too. And TBH I think most chem students are on the same page.

To me, the lectures were inadequate and I strongly encourage you to check the textbook for most of what they were discussing (it goes through things like nomenclature of coordination compounds, steady state approximation etc. pretty well).

What part are you finding the hardest?

Chemistry is seriously the worse run subject i've experienced. The lectures are terribly centred around on useless rote-learning; Practicals are always rushed and poorly organised to fit within the 3 hour time frame.

Even to the very last lecture it was full on you got to memorise this; memorise that without even talking about the exam. My other subjects mostly talked about the exam and/or gave an overview of the entire content learnt over the semester but not Chemistry...

Putting me off Chemistry so bad..

Haha from what i've heard, chemistry is much worse.

Chemistry fundamentals was soooo much better ran, they actually gave you explanations in lectures of how to solve problems and everything and the lecturers were way better.

Are you rewatching the lectures to revise? Or just going through the content and writing summaries or something? I don't do the unit but just trying to get an idea of what others are doing to revise! :P

@ swarley. I'm just writing my summaries (sometimes they are really just identical to the lecture notes) and memorizing them. Gets pretty boring but it has to be done.
