Ten Easy Ways to Fail Organic

01. I know I'm learning organic chemistry because I understand everything I hear in lecture and everything I read in the textbook.

02. Reading the textbook is the same as studying the textbook.

03. I'll print out the file examinations and find out what all the right answers are.

04. Since I can get my roommate's lecture notes I don't have to attend class myself.

05. I understand how to work the recommended problems if I look up the answers in the study guide and say, "Oh yeah, I see how you get that."

06. All the examinations are multiple-guess, and I'm very good at guessing.

07. I don't need to study for this exam since I can take a makeup if I don't understand the questions.

08. If I fail the exam I'll take an Incomplete.

09. I'm too busy to study right now, so I'll prepare the notecard five minutes before the exam.

10. I got A's in general chemistry without sweat, so why sweat for organic?
