signed up for the basic chem, and the brewing chem

what the hell, why not, sounds like it might be pretty interesting!

 

[govner1]

Signed up for the Basic Chem for a review and also for the Brewing Chem. Can't wait for January!
Working to catch up on the basic chem but it's well done.

If you've never had formal chemistry/organic chemistry classes then some of the concepts may leave you confused (I'm basing this on what they said were 'requirements' and how high the course number is.) That said, it doesn't hurt (or cost anything) to at least start it. If you get lost you can just drop it and move on, but perhaps it will have enough material at a level to be beneficial. I hope so - my chemistry & ochem is very rusty since I haven't done anything with it for almost 25 years

My last advanced chemistry class was in 1982, as were my advanced math classes. Hopefully, it all comes back to me!

Nice more help. I squeaked by at OU both Chem1 and 2...and said screw it no more Chemistry! It's the devils magic. That was 10 years ago so we'll see how this turns out. I'm going to try and find those old books. This is an upper level chem course so it worries me a bit.

I just signed up. Don't have a lot of Chemistry experience but looking very forward to learning and having discussions here. cheers!

Signed up, started the beginner chem and remembered why I avoided chem classes at all cost. (Thankfully my major in construction management seemed more focused on physics...) Oh well. For beer I am willing to suffer through these classes

So I wonder if we are going to skew the stats on their online class participation with the hundreds of brewers signed up... lol!

 

[CA_Mouse]

Signed up. Any way to find out if there is a text book that goes with the course? It would be nice to have it before it starts. Of course I could see if I still have any of my chemistry books from the stone age.

They broke my clay tablets when I moved, so I hope I remember my classes!

Now I feel old! My last Advanced classes were in 1980-1981 with my Culinary Arts classes in 1985!

A quick note. My significant other had O-Chem II with Morvant. Apparently he's very good illustrating concepts in O-Chem. Here's hoping it translates to this course.

My parents have been on my case about taking classes; somehow, I doubt they'll count this.

Just tell them you have enrolled in CHEM4970 at the University of Oklahoma, and it is a Chem/Biochem coarse which focuses on the theory as applied to a practicle examples. they will be well impressed

edit: where you guys finding the basic chem class?

 

[ronsky]

..they didn't have online courses 1,000 years ago when I was in college.

They didn't even have the interwebs when I went to college (the first time) ; just dial up 1200baud modems that you *might* get a response from... We wrote our code in cuneiform.

 

[patrickm]

Sweet!

 

[acefaser]

Nice! I hope there are some hot chicks in my class.

 

[tracyk]

Well I just signed up for the course. Will see if it all comes back after 20 years!

 

[okkiedokki]

Signed up as well, thanks for the link. I'm excited to see how this goes.

 

[1fast636]

Figured it out in basic chem, caching up and tryin to remember this stuff from school, sorta ringing a bell in away, guess it helped I was able to pay attention in the first period class with my herbal help lol now if the teacher would of said this will help down the road when you want to brew beer i would I prolly aced the dam class lol

 

[YNOT2K]

I'll give it a try...

 

[CaveBrewing]

Signed up today! Thanks for the link!

 

[bluelakebrewing]

Wow sweet

 

[Jaybird]

How flippen killer is this! A free online class that you can take and if your not following the bio or organic chemistry aspect of it there is still a BOATLOAD you can take from it. I am signing up too!

That is a killer link man! I wonder how many "online" students they are going to allow or if its just open to everyone that logs in.

Cheers
Jay

Torn between my love of beer and chemistry (I tend to geek out talking about molecules), and my utter hatred for all things OU. Hook'em.

 

[Arrheinous]

Signed up (username Arrheinous). We should organize some kind of class discussion thread around here.

The problem with online classes is that signing up for them is easy. Sticking with them gets difficult especially if you don't have to do it and you're doing it alone.

Agreed and great idea

 

[BorealBrewer]

This is AWESOME. BorealBrewer is on the virtual campus! I would like to participate in the HBT online study group, too.

My Dad's a chemist, and a winemaker. I did okay in intro chem and organic, and have the Old Man on speed dial if I get in over my head...

OP - thank-you for sharing this with everyone!

2014-Jan-13 is circled on the calender!!!
