I'm looking to supplement my learning with an online chemistry course. Has anyone done this, and if so, which course was the most effective for you?
While there isn't a definitive answer as each person's learning style and needs are different, there are several online platforms known for offering effective high school chemistry courses.
Coursera, for one, is a platform collaborated with top universities that offers a range of chemistry courses, including some catered specifically towards high school students. Similarly, Khan Academy is well-regarded for its high school chemistry content as they offer a comprehensive learning experience complete with video lessons, practice questions, and quizzes. The courses on Khan Academy are self-paced, so you can take your time understanding the concepts.
Additionally, EdX offers a comprehensive AP Chemistry course if you're interested in more advanced study. If you're looking for more real-time interaction, platforms like Outschool offer live classes where you can interact and engage with the teacher and fellow students.
It's a good idea to review these options and see which one aligns better with your learning preferences and course requirements. Keep in mind, some online courses may be free but may charge for certificate of completion or advanced features, so consider your budget too.
Remember, effectiveness will also depend on your commitment to retaining the information and practicing the skills you've learned. I highly recommend trying a few lessons and seeing which platform truly helps you grasp and understand the concepts before you commit to one. Good luck with your further learning!
