I think that this course was challenging yet rewarding. I liked being able to perform the labs at my own pace and on my own time.

This was the worst course I have ever taken. It had very little guidance and was much too difficult for a general intro class that is self paced. It did not focus on main concepts from the book, but branched out in to more complex areas where there had not been any focus at all. The object was not to learn anything, but to memorize a chemistry book that is about 800 pages long. The lessons that went along with the book were incredibly elementary, and easy to understand--that's great, except that it doesn't help at all when the tests have nothing to do with the online lessons.

This course was pretty difficult for me especially since I'm not very strong in science. I had a hard time understanding certain topics even with the lesson presentations and the workbook to go with the text

General Chemistry was a very good course. The interactions offered with the straighterline courses are second to none.
The course was a challenge and it took me longer than i expected
Buy or rent the book, other wise it is very difficult
Easy to follow format, at you own pace, organized.
I like studying at my own pace.
I liked finishing it!
I liked getting together with my bestie and tutor to study
I liked that it was self paced
I liked that it was self paced because I needed this class done fast!
I liked that the course content was very similar to my C.C. Chemistry course so the learning curve was not steep.
I liked the fact that it was easy to navigate this course. And the quizzes and games were also good and helped me in learning.
I liked the f'reedom to take test when I wanted.
I liked working independently.
The course outline was crucial for exam preparation.
The online format is lifestyle friendly. totally enjoy studying with friend in convenience of home around work and family. I love that we can go at our own pace. Price is competitive.
The specific aspect I liked in this course was that it was very fair. I really appreciated the amount of time that was given for each exam which helped and enabled me to solve all the long math equations within the time limit.
This course was very tricky, especially the questions. I was second guessing myself most of the time because of the way the questions were worded. The course overall was very intense.
