scientist. There has been a lot more to taking chemistry than just learning about atoms and
molecules though. Some of the best things I have learned from this class are how to study more
effectively, how to progress when things are not easy, and gain a general understanding of
chemical knowledge. When I first started this class, I was extremely worried that I was not
going to be able to keep up with the vast amount of material covered. The beginning of the
class gives strategies for studying that are very helpful for learning a lot of material quickly. Pre
reading, and repetition have been some of the most helpful things in the class. The feynman
notes assignments are a really great way to solidify a skill that takes a lot of concentration and
patience. The critical chemistry learnspace is an easy and effective way of learning and
reviewing material.
Taking chemistry has made me proud in some ways. Everyone I have spoken with has
told me that chemistry is hard. Chemistry for me has been a test of time and patience at times,
but it makes me feel good to get through the material. I now understand a lot more about how
chemical reactions work, and things that they can be used for to help people in the world. It has
been good to brush up on my math skills and prepare me for scientific thought again. I am
happy that I can understand way more about a periodic table than I ever thought was possible.
The class has certainly helped me to have a better understanding of the world, and particularly
the way molecules work in it. Overall, I have found the class to be well put together, and I
would recommend it to anyone interested in getting their toes wet in chemistry or anyone
