Very well structures, its extremely easy if you study ahead of time. How much/hard you study will reflect your grade. The first exam is super easy, (elementary school level of easy), the second exam could be easy for those who have some basic knowledge of general chem, the third exam for bme was extremely hard for me but for personal issues (and if I had studied more I would have definitely gotten an A). The final was relatively easy, compared to the third one. It was boring as hell, it being virtual is the worst and the MacMillan learning thingy was super annoying, not user friendly, and makes the course overall way more tedious than it should be. It was also definitely not worth the cost (as an OOT student), especially since the lectures are recorded and fail to show actual examples that...read more

I'm not a hundred percent how useful this material was but from what I've told people that are taking Chem 1 right now they have told me they wish they would have taken this course in their first semester. I am definitely more confident to go to chem 1 now and I even feel like I have an advantage.

I didn't interact with her, but I've heard she is very good.

Study ahead of time, if you are thinking taking this class knowing you eventually have to take Chem 1, and have plenty of time before the beginning of the semester (~one month), I would recommend you to study in your own. It truly is stuff you can learn without attending a university class, and you don't need 4 months to understand it as 2/3 of it is very basic material.

I'm glad I took this class before CHM 2045 because the entire first exam for Gen Chem 1 is the same information covered in CHM 1025. However, if you're not comfortably with chemistry and/or teaching yourself, save yourself the stress of taking this class online.

I can't even say anything about her because she did absolutely NOTHING. She would send out announcements telling us what was due and that's about it. None of the lecture videos she provided were of her. She also took a while to answer emails, though she did give me points back on an exam so I'll give her that.

Make time to read the textbook! If you don't take matters into your own hands, you will literally fail. There are no lectures covering everything you need to know in a chapter, just short little informational videos usually taken from other professors or the internet. Make sure you stay on top of your work. Biggest thing is get a study group or join a groupme because you're definitely gonna need a support system.
