- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I had an organic chemistry class in college where the average grade was a C. I was a chemistry major and I passed with a D. A couple of other would-be chemistry majors dropped the class. The professor actually told us that we were the worst group of students he had ever taught (and it was his last class before retirement).
I don't think he was a bad teacher, because I certainly was a bad student.
Also he talked about the need to cut down on burning fossil fuels, but less due to environmental concerns and more due to the lost opportunity to make plastics and other interesting substances out of them.
My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don't remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn't really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes
I actually failed my molecular biology course, and I'm still a little salty about that. I understood molecular biology. I didn't memorize stuff like the order in which subunits bind to assemble the pre-replication complex.
Note that they're numbered but the numbers aren't related to the order in which they act. I don't need to know that. No one who doesn't do research specifically on the pre-replication complex needs to know that.
(Excuses, excuses...)
