Does anyone know if Organic Chemistry II is offered online? Or at least the lecture online?

We Answered:

While I don't know where the course if offered for credit online, if you're interested in learning the material, you can look at MIT's OpenCourseWare and see if they have anything which interests you

The website has two courses in Organic Chemistry, I'm not sure if either is helpful, as it isn't a live course, but the outline and work for a course completed in the past (in this case, 2003)

So I hope it helps, it can't hurt to check it out, because it's free (minus the textbook, if you buy it...)

I'm going to start my organic chemistry class in a few weeks. Suggestions:_?

We Answered:

The best thing you can do is get the textbook ahead of time. (College bookstores usually have the text for your class before the class begins, or just find out what from the bookstore the name of the text and order it online)

Once you get the text, read each chapter BEFORE the professor reaches it. Don't just wait around for the professor to teach you organic chemistry. Take control of your own learning.

Right now, you can read the INTRO and first chapter on your own, and understand as much of it as you can. Don't just read it like a storybook-- actively read it! Take notes in it, circle stuff you don't understand, practice any sample probems, and do the derivations for yourself, so you can follow along with the logic.

When you attend class, you will be seeing the material a 2nd time, so it won't be a whole bunch of new info. As a result, you can use your mental energy to figure out the stuff you're having the most difficulty with.

This approach takes discipline, but it has proven very effective for me.

Organic Chemistry Class?

We Answered:

There is a lot of good chemistry information available, in your textbook, lectures, and online (The Virtual Organic Textbook, O=CHem Directory, and OChem.com).

Online Organic Chemistry class?

We Answered:

I'm assuming that your organic chem class is for pre-professional studies, for medicine , pharmacy etc. For that course, you normally spend at least 8 hours a week in lab which is in addition to your class. As a result it will be very accelerated for the summer term. I took Quantitative Analysis during the summer, and it just about killed me.
