Very, very complex course unless you are already deeply founded in chemistry and biology.
By Timothy Beighley on 1/17/2024
Professor can break down the knowledge to easily understandable pieces.

The instructos highlights good examples and applications of biopolymers.

Great content and very well explained. Very useful to get a general understanding of the topic. Thanks a lot! Only two suggestions: Quaility of presentation and videos can be improved. Most videos are cut at the end before the explanation finishes. I'd also recommend to include more suggested reading like articles and books (not only the books from the teacher)

I wanted to revise and go back to basics so I really liked the course ( I am a chem major). Except for the volume, I wish she talked a bit louder. Otherwise, pretty good course for basics.

La forma de presentar el curso es bastante aburrido. Sin embargo me ha permitido aprender bastante y tener ideas generales sobre diferentes temas. La tutora es una gran conocedora de la materia
