Straighterline Chem Review - jadae@wgu.edu - 05-03-2017
To those in the future that take their course and lab.
Overall, I would rate is 8/10.
I would recommend doing the labs first. Then the lab exams (all lab exams can be done in one sitting). And then I would take the course. The reason is because the labs are great primers for the concepts you need for the exams. The lab exams are easy, so they will help reinforce the lab knowledge.
The regular exams are more complex than they need to be, and I think that is because they are not proctored. The proctored final is about typical for a chemistry exam. About average difficulty.
I did not know this, and I did exactly the reverse. Doing it the way I described would have been more efficient.
I would rate the set courses 10/10, but there are minor exam errors, and the labs can be a real pain to get accepted. Each grader is different. For example, my Kit Code was 4444. Every lab I turned in said 4444. One grader graded Labs 3 and 4, and he rejected them. He said the code was wrong. So I took my photo of the Kit Code and placed it where the code should go, and asked him to quit rejecting it. All of the the graders left nice notes, and this person was just not into it.
So, yeah, this is what any of you may experience, and good luck. It was kind of fun. Especially making VSEPR models, lol.

jadae,
Good overview. . this course is on my upcoming to-do list. How long did this course take you start to finish? Thanks,

10 days for the exams. 1 week for the labs. One lab requires 2 days. 1 of the days is simply waiting for the test results, but you can work on other labs during that time.
