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
