Every once in a while I'll stumble across some variety of fantastic learning resource that I feel probably isn't known about as much as it should be. A few days ago I found one such resource - University of California Irvine's (UCI) Open Chemistry project.
The UCI Open Chemistry project is a collection of lecture recordings covering the entirety of a three year undergraduate chemistry course. During my three years studying genetics at university I made the mistake of not recording (at least even the audio) of my lectures. This was a big mistake, as it would been a very helpful study tool leading up to my final exams. It would also be great now (two years on) to be able to go back and retread those lectures. Alas, I learn my lesson. If/when I'm able to return to university to study for a master's degree I won't make the same mistake again.
Chemistry would have been by second choice of course to study at undergraduate level; I think I actually enjoy learning about it more than I do Biology. And now, with this series of videos, I'm able reinforce what I already know and hopefully learn a whole bunch of new stuff, completely for free.
So far I've covered three lectures in Organic Chemistry and thoroughly enjoyed them. I've even found myself taking notes!
So, If you've ever considered learning more about chemistry or want a refresher, I highly recommend you take a look at this series.
Looks like my evening viewing is set for the foreseeable future.
