This course is not terrible, I learned a few things, but it is poorly designed.Some things are explained as if to people who arent familiar with the concepts at all, while others are explained as if to people who must already know a lot about the concepts. I often felt lost. The quizzes did not help, you could do well on them without actually understanding things (I remember one multiple-choice question where the options were something like (a) Arrheniuss first law, (b) Arrheniuss second law, (c) Arrheniuss third law, and you didnt even have to look at the question or know what the law was to know the answer because only one of Arrheniuss laws had been mentioned in the course at all).There are two types of videos in this course. In one type, the professor is in a lab or kitchen or classroom or something and is physically demonstrating things. These videos are useful and mostly understandable. The other type of videos are lecture-style things that appear to have literally been sliced out of some other more thorough set of videos - sometimes the professor refers back to earlier parts of the lecture that we havent actually seen before. Concepts and variables are often introduced without even mentioning what they refer to.
