What people are saying

high school

This course brushes up some parts of what I have studied in my high school chemistry.

I almost entirely forgot chemistry I learned in a high school and I didn't like it, but now I feel I know something and I got interest in discipline - chemistry is exciting) There were couple minor mistakes in quizes (for example in one case the right answer was "aluminum sulfide" instead of "aluminium sulfide"), but they don't matter much.

I really did not understand it in high school since I had a first year teacher.

Loved all the lectures, It really helped me catching up my studies in high school.

I used it to prepare for a honors chemistry course I am taking in my sophomore year of high school.

It served me for a quick review of my high school physical chemistry.

more time

It is just the right amount of work to learn in seven weeks, although some tests were significantly harder than others and forced me to work more time on.

I wish more time was spent going over the mathematical equations and more examples were given.

perfect for

Initially I was overwhelomed by the amount of videos each week had but after all they were perfect for ensuring that the concepts were understood.

I did not take chemistry beyond GCSE level and this course was perfect for refreshing my basic knowledge and building upon it.
