where are you taking an online class?
I'm interested in finding one but I'm not having much luck.

I assume that you're taking this course because you want to transfer it into a degree program somewhere, not just for your own personal enjoyment and satisfaction, right? :)
I would encourage you to check with any schools you're thinking you might want to transfer this course to, and make sure that they will accept it. A lot of nursing/allied health degree programs do require that the science courses include a lab component.

I'm taking General Chem I online this summer; the lab is required and also totally online. I'm doing this through SUNY learning network.
The CRNA program I'm interested in requires O-Chem lecture only, but from what I've seen around where I live (and in the SUNY system), you can't get into an O-Chem class without two semesters of chemistry with labs, and labs are a co-requisite for O-Chem.

I am thinking of taking the online Organic Chem I class through them as well. How is it going for you? Is the content easy to follow and understand?
i just started two weeks ago, will let you know when i'm at least half way through, so far so good though.

I am very interested in taking the UNE online organic chemistry I after a horrible experience w/UC Berkeley's online organic chem....the syllabus sounds pretty decent, as does the grading...would those of you who have taken this course recommend it to others? Are the exams and grading fair? It is expensive @ $1250, but if it is passable and understandable (well, as understandable as organic chemistry goes...) I will sign up asap!

Can the chemistry courses through university of new england be completed in less then 16 weeks? I noticed it mentioned an extension can be requested if more then 16 weeks is required, but what if you'd like to speed things up?

For those of you looking to take O-Chem online and do it for cheap, look into your local community college. TriC, the local comm. coll. here in Cleveland, has one and it's not just an "intro" class. Haven't heard anything bad about it.
Just a suggestion :nuke:
