The best online college chemistry courses are here! Hi I am Cliff and have been a chemistry professor at Shasta College since 1984. I have been a pioneer in science education and online college chemistry, having received numerous grants. I was one of the first in California to put chemistry courses online starting in 2002.
Shasta College is located in Redding, California which is in the far northern part of the state in the shadow of Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta. Shasta College is a public 2 year community college, fully accredited in higher education by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges part of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. We offer a high quality personal learning experience that is surprisingly inexpensive even to folks outside of California.
When you take one of my online classes, you get notes written for student understanding (not textbook jargon), links to excellent other websites, and the most attentive online instructor period! During the week and on most weekends your question will be answered no later than the next day and most of the time within 12 hours. I am currently making available videos of chemical phenomena and of me lecturing using the notes online for those who like the extra modality of seeing and hearing. If you are organized, try one of my online classes. I will attend to all of your educational needs and one of my important class rules is
NO FREAKING OUT.
