Dear all (those who have registered for my online class):

We’re back. The quiz problem from last week has apparently been resolved by Canvas so we can get on with things.

I do want to emphasise that it would be awesome if you let me know ANY ISSUE that you find in the course. This is a massive undertaking and there will be mistakes. Effectively, you are all working from a beta version! J So – let me know if you find wrong answers, “padlocked” figures, quizzes that won’t work etc

I have opened the modules for this week:

Equilibrium – definition, calculations etc. This is the SECOND time that this module has been the “module of the week” so the second workshop will include actual A-level questions. These will be discussed at the Live session on FRIDAY at 4 pm. https://canvas.swansea.ac.uk/courses/15374/pages/equilibrium-introduction-everyone-should-read?module_item_id=544895

Coordination Chemistry – this is NOT your A-level spec as it goes far beyond. I hope you find it as much fun as I do! Live session is THURSDAY at 4 pm. Extension material covers a lot of more first year university material. https://canvas.swansea.ac.uk/courses/15374/pages/coordination-chemistry-introduction-everyone-should-read-copy?module_item_id=560924

Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives – structure, bonding and reactions. Live session is FRIDAY at 12:00 noon. https://canvas.swansea.ac.uk/courses/15374/pages/carboxylic-acids-introduction-everyone-should-read?module_item_id=560953

Again – there are 3 ways you can access the material.

By clicking the “MODULES” link and working through a bunch of stuff. New modules are at the top. After that, they’re alphabetical.
Going to the front page and clicking on the live link for the particular module. This takes you to the introduction page which (starting this week) has links to everything in the module.
Going straight to the introduction pages which are linked above.

Please e-mail any errors you find. I am trying to put this together around my “real job” so have not had time to double check everything.

Hope you enjoy. Let me know any feelings

Best

Simon
