UCalgary Organic Chemistry
UCalgary Organic ChemistryThe UCalgary Organic Chemistry class was great, not only did the instructor (Mr. Johnson) know what he was talking about, but he was fun to be around and I really enjoyed listening to him and his teaching style. Although the course itself was on a subject that is pretty serious, it was not excessively difficult for me to get through and study. I personally would not want to take such a course in high school or college, but they do offer a bachelor's level diploma course in it.I heard about the UCalgary organic chemistry class from an old colleague of mine who has done some work with radiation and is worried about the effects on her unborn child. When she mentioned the term 'organic chemistry' I just knew that was the class I had to attend. It was a quick four day course and I found that it gave me everything I needed to understand what was going on and learn a few new things too.There were two lectures that were given during the UCalgary Organic Chemistry cl ass. One was held in the morning and the other was in the afternoon. The morning lecture was a lecture on the basics of organic chemistry and it is one of the most important lectures I have ever attended.During the afternoon lecture Mr. Johnson introduced the basic substances that are the basis of organic chemistry, of which there are many. These were called the base elements and included sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, chlorine, oxygen, and nitrogen gas.In addition to the different elements that are present in nature there are also the non-living, living, and chemical compounds. These compounds are called organic compounds. They include compounds such as protein, sugar, fat, amino acids, carbohydrates, starch, vitamins, hormones, glucosamine, and water.During the lectures that were given at the University of Calgary I was able to learn a lot more about what is really involved in organic chemistry. It is fascinating to learn about the various ways that compounds can intera ct to create new compounds, and how these compounds affect each other. I learned how substances can react to create different effects, and the concepts behind chemical reactions.At the end of the day when we were all done with our exams we received a lot of feedback, and even though the instructor was giving them to us individually they still felt more like a group effort. He also gave us the option to take more tests so that we could learn how to get better at the class and to become a better chemistry teacher. I thought this was a very good choice because I could test my students, give them feedback, and use those tests to help me develop my methods for teaching chemistry.I highly recommend going to the University of Calgary and taking the UCalgary Organic Chemistry class if you are interested in doing more chemistry and getting better at it. You will also meet some interesting people who are passionate about their subject and learn a lot more about nature and about what goes on i n the world around us.
