Excellent. Very well articulated and explained, particularly the earlier weeks (acids and bases and redox reductions I found a little less thoroughly explained). Would definitely recommend to someone who was rusty on high school chemistry, or wanted to learn it for the first time.

Helps to understand chemistry basics. The speaker is quite knowledgable about the subject and delivers the information in a very clear and verbose manner. Will be of help to any individuals regardless of their expertise levels, be it beginner, intermediate or an expert.

This professor is amazing!! I've taken plenty of intro chem courses from sixth grade through high school, but the way Dr. Canelas organizes and presents the material makes chemistry seem a lot easier & more interesting :)

Completed: in 2 weeks

Final Course Grade: 99.7 %

This course was really helpful. Dr. Canelas explains things in very easy-to-understand ways. I was having so much trouble with some of the basic concepts of chemistry before taking the course and I have progressed so much! Really, really great course and professor.

Muy bien por el contenido, solo tuve problemas en un cuestionario, que daba las respuestas en español y me las calificaba incorrectas, debido a que para verificar las respuestas, el formato las tenía en inglés, hasta que di las respuestas en inglés tuve éxito!

The course is an excellent one. The tutor is so good to the extent that I never had to comment or ask question from the beginning to the end. I even finished it within 3 days. REGISTER TODAY AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY CAUSE TO REGRET. I can assure you!!

The best course that can one have for introduction to chemistry, reached by a real chemist!

Thank you, Pr. Dorian for this great course. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to learn chemistry through you.

See you in the next course, no doubt :) !

this is an amazing introductory course to chemistry as I have learned a lot of things and how to change from ratios, how to naming compounds, how to calculate the solubility product, periodic table, and some trends and a lot of other things

Indeed an introductory course but is also suitable for adult learners. Lectures are logically ordered and clearly explained. Separation of content into weeks is motivational. Highly recommended for those who want to get into Chemistry.

It's a great course! First of all, this course helped me understand and open my eyes to the world of chemistry through the concept of energy. This has helped me learn a lot. I've also gained a lot of stoichiometric skills as well.

I learned so much about Chemistry! I really did not understand it in high school since I had a first year teacher. But now I know so much. I'm going to buy the text the professor recommended at the beginning of the course.

Dr. Canales, takes time to explain baffling calculations and that helped me pass my course. I'll recommend she review lecture on acid base and redox reaction, lecture note was too short with few examples to understand.
