Hi.I've been looking for affordable online chem class in order to take organic chem. I got c on chem in the nursing school so I like to retake it before I take oranic chem. That was more than 6 years ago. I can't remember any of chem. I finally found iowa community college online consortium.

They have college chem(151,152) and general chem(166,176). I was going to take general chem becuase general chem is higher level that college chem but they only offer gen chem 1 via online. I don't want to finish half of a book here and half book there.

Can I take college chem in order to get a good grade on organic chem? Or taking general chem is better?

Do you know any affordable online chem. New Englnd and OSU are so expensive.

Organic Chem is hard. I would take the higher level General Chem so you have a better knowledge base for your O Chem classes. Do you need Gen Chem I & II to take Organic? I only needed Gen Chem I as my pre-requisite. I guess maybe it depends on the school. I would take the option you found if it is that much cheaper- better to spend an extra $60 renting another book for Gen Chem II than to spend $1500 on 1 class (I think that is UNE's going rate)!

Try this: make sure your school accepts it before you sign up for it. Some do and others don't. (This is for basic 101 course though).

I took the online course through University of New England and it was brutal- I barely made it through Ochem I. The Ochem II wasn't bad; diffferent instructor, more relevent to our field. I wouldn't recommend it iunless you need both, because the Ochem I is taught (I use that term loosely...) way over your head unless you are a chem genius. Good luck!

Oh, and there is a lab component- it was easy.

Ocean College in New Jersey. Take Gen Chem online and then the Org/Biochem at Iowa Central.
