...and still get decent grades?
I'm asking because I was enrolled in an intro chem class this summer. However I missed 3 classes (including 2 labs) due to a cold. That's too many days to miss during a 6-week summer semester, so I dropped the class, rather than take zeros for things that I wouldn't get to make up.
I tried to sign up again for intro chemistry for this Fall. Yet there was only one section on the schedule for that class, and it was filled. Don't know why they only had one section for a lab science class, when it's such a big requirement.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone else skipped over intro chem and still did just fine. Besides, some academic advisors told me that I might not necessarily need the intro class.
By the way, I'm pretty good with science...generally an A student with science and other subjects. Every once in a while, I get a B. That's just to give an idea of my academic abilities.

If you had High School Chemistry, you should do fine in a General Chem Class

I was a TA for chem 101. Now it really depends on how they teach they class, but at my university the students that struggled with chemistry had poor math skills. Some of them even worked very hard but had problems with algebra and thus struggled in the class. So if you school is anything like mine, you should do well if your maths skills are good.

personally, i hate chemistry. but i've taken the intro to chem class and it helped somewhat. but it also depends on who will be teaching the gen chem I class. i'd check ratemyprofessor.com and research some teachers. also, how are your math skills? they should be decent, too

The more math you know the easier chemistry can be. So if you know a lot of math, you should be fine.

if u study the subject and keep at it, it should not be a problem. and for a person that "generally" recieves A's i really doubt that this will be a problem.
