How did you find the contents (how it was delivered) and the assessments of the course?
Useful as they talk about industry methods, what is happening today and it is a new field of study. Good for those interested in environmental chemistry.
​
How was your experience with the course?
Fantastic experience, lectures were interesting and easy to understand. Assumptions were that you know high school chemistry. Computational chemistry might scare undergraduates due to little opportunity of exposure but this was taught very well by Dr Michael as he teaches step by step. Webcasted and enjoyed the course.
