  1. My daughter is currently (summer 2021) enrolled in the Chemistry Part 2 for remediation and it’s 10x harder than her L.A. private school Chemistry course!!! I can’t believe how much work is required for each section and how long the assignments and labs take. The description makes it sound like it’s easy (“do some assignments, a couple quizzes, 1 test and move on”). Ha! We thought this would be a simple remediation for missing work due to a medical leave but it’s painful to see how much of her summer is being taken up by this course (the Lab she’s doing today only took 30 mins but the write-up and assignments attached to it has already taken 2 hrs and she’s nowhere near finished). I’m actually shocked at how long these assignments are. She has literally spent 4-5 hrs anytime she opens her computer to do this course or lab write-up. She had an A- as her first semester grade during regular remote learning this year. Unless your kid is a Chemistry wiz and has nothing else to do, I wouldn’t recommend this course as a summer course. It’s really a solid 4-6 month course (18 weeks minimum but likely longer if you can’t do it every single day). Her private school ended the year with Stoichiometry but that’s where this course begins. Basically everything my daughter is self-teaching through SVHS is more like Honors Chemistry work but the course is listed as regular, so her transcript won’t even reflect the inordinate amount of work this course takes.
