UTS Revision Courses (1 Viewer)

I'm thinking about going to the UTS revision course for chemistry:

http://www.shortcourses.uts.edu.au/code/coursedetails.php?sc_code=HSC:CHEMISTRY&uid=17

For anyone who has been there last year, or the years before, is this 2-day revision course worthwhile?

yeah its handy, just gets you thinking before the start of whatever science course you are doing....

gets boring, but pay attention- its easy and worthwhile if you havnt done hsc chem

So is it only good if you're starting out from the preliminary course?

What about if you're studying for the trials, like myself?

the course is intended for students about to begin a course at uni and have not done hsc chem- its not intended as a revision course for hsc students as i would imagine they cover different things

Hmm, I actually think you'll find that it is a "HSC revision course"... Just from reading that webpage:
"Who Will Benefit?
This short course provides an excellent opportunity to focus on the HSC Chemistry Syllabus' core topics.
A set of comprehensive notes will assist later preparation and revision prior to the HSC examinations."
It seems like it would be worthwile, I personally havent attended one, but my chemsitry teacher, who is an HSC marker, highly reccommends these courses. I particularly like the idea of receiving note booklets.

well despite what the site says, i actually did the course

it goes over fundamental ideas in chemistry, but i dont think it would cover the different eelctives you might do in hsc chem

i found it useful as i had never heard of a mole before beginning my course at uts, or how to do some calculations etc...

For all those who haven't already signed up to go to the UTS study day and do want to go, i suggest u got to this website - http://www.chemistrycoach.com.au/revisionCourses.htm. I found this after i paid and found out its 20% cheaper through Chemistry Coach.
