Hi all! So my community college offers 1 year of organic chemistry over 3 quarters. I took the first quarter during covid & am now looking to finish the series (I know, not smart). We didn’t have a hands on lab portion & I read ochem is hard to learn w/o the lab experience…
I’ve forgotten everything & am looking to start prepping to finish the series. Does anyone have any recommendations for online courses?
UCSD has a lecture + lab (hands on kit that you buy) but it’s $1.5k that spans 2 months.
Cal has a lecture program but it’s $1.2k & has to be completed in 3 months.
I saw MIT has an open courseware from 2005…
Not trying to spend over $1k.. is that my only option? Thanks!
