mom2three Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Has anyone taken online Chemistry and Spanish classes? If so, where did you take them and how were the classes structured? Was it effective taking these courses online? Or are these classes better with a teacher face to face? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom_of_eight Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 My son was in the new Chemistry class for Regina Coeli last year. I was also a helper in designing this class as I am head of Math and Science department for Regina Coeli Online academy. The teacher, Mrs. Kootz was excellent. The class used virtual labs. Having my son in the class in its inaugural year allowed me to see both sides of the class. There are changes we are making this year, such as doing a dual track: there will be honors track and a general chem track so that both types of students may take the class. They will take separate tests and quizzes and the same live class (3x per week, white board, text and audio) More info here Every one passed with high marks, and it was very challenging with out being overly so, or requiring more than an average of an hour a day. As a parent, then I recommend the class highly. I don't know if there are other members of this board that had kids in our online science classes last year, but I do think there are some. email me if you need more info, I'd be glad to answer any questions.

readwithem Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Scholars Online has a Chemistry course. We've not done it but I've traded emails with the teacher - she would welcome any questions or concerns you have. http://www.scholarsonline.org/Info/science.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
