My name is Dakota Hitzemann. This course has been my 2023 Senior Research project for the Honors Academy. Most of this course is not my original content, I have incorporated many YouTube videos, simulations, and other resources made by those who teach far better than me. However, I do hope to string these resources together in one cohesive and quick course that allows you to learn something about org chem. This course was created for three reasons:
Concordia has no organic chemistry class, leaving many graduates unprepared for college
Some students, like myself, want to explore chemistry for fun beyond AP
Compiling this course has helped me personally prepare myself for my upcoming years of schooling
Whether you are taking this course out of curiosity for chemistry, or for college preparation, I hope that it benefits you in your future!
While this course will not dive too far into organic chemistry, some topics may be difficult. I recommend that you have at least passed the normal chemistry class before taking this. However, you should feel under no pressure while taking this. The course is self guided for a reason, to accommodate you! Feel free to ask Mr. Jane for help with any sections that you may struggle with. I encourage you to take your time with this and learn the material thoroughly.
While this website is compatible with a phone, I would highly encourage anyone using it to be on a iPad or computer as it is formatted for larger screens.
