“Fantastic!!! You have no idea how much work this removed from my plate. I’ve been going through the videos and quizzes, and they are really well done! I originally decided to assign the Safety/Chem Math and Labware mostly to give my students and me a break for a week, but actually, it really goes through a lot of best practices that I constantly need to correct my students on. I feel really good about assigning it to them!”
