Need help with organic chem class (ChemDraw etc.)

AI Thread Summary
Organic chemistry lab reports can be time-consuming, with students spending significant hours on each report yet receiving low grades. To improve efficiency in drawing organic mechanisms, learning hotkeys in ChemDraw is recommended, as it can significantly speed up the process. While there may not be readily available pre-made mechanism templates, students are encouraged to create their own templates for future use. Additionally, exploring online resources may yield useful templates that could aid in completing lab reports more efficiently.

I started doing organic chemistry lab a few weeks ago and the instructor is an evil bastard when it comes to marking lab reports. We've 2 reports to do per week and I spend at least 6 hours on each report but only manage to get 60%. I can't be wasting all this time on a single class. Are there any tricks for speeding up drawing organic mechanisms and stuff like that? For example are there any websites I can download pre made mechanism templates for chemdraw?

I used ChemDraw during my o-chem lab before and if you take the time to learn the hotkeys for different drawing things it speeds it up but there is not a premade mechanism or template for this to my knowledge.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
