My best friend is at a top uni in the UK doing a degree in a non-science but says science degrees are much the same. Do you really not have to go to class? His degree is based entirely on papers. Is yours based on research alone?

    I did a combination of learning and research. Indeed, you can't really do the latter without the former as there's a mass of information you need to learn and skills that need to be developed to the point where it's second nature. With most humanities you just need to be able to read English and understand what author X said about subject Y, regurgitate it with some sort of "argument" in your one essay per term and that's about it.

      Here we have tests and more tests in which we have to memorize literally everything. As a chemist that means p-chem, orgo and in-orgo and our specialty. I should have gone to grad school there. :/ From what I gather you're a chemist, no?

        Yeah, but I'm branching into computational stuff right now and haven't actually touched a test tube in a long time.

          Had I known 10 years ago my chemistry degree would magically transform into a math degree I would have said to hell with it. If I may ask what are you getting in to? I did medicinal chem but hated being a drug company monkey.
