Highlighting the fundamentals of chemistry Duke University is offering free online course with Coursera. This is an introductory course for students with limited background in chemistry. This is a 8 weeks course which aims to prepare students for further study in chemistry as needed for many science, health, and policy professions. Coursera is providing this course with the name ‘Introduction to Chemistry: Reactions and Ratios’. To get eligible for the course the students should have a background in high school level algebra. The course will be delivered with the help of video lectures videos of lectures and chemical demonstrations. Weekly and bi-weekly quizzes are also arranged to make students practice and earn points. At the end of the course all students will take a two part exam. Students will be eligible for Statement of Accomplishment.

Why Choose Duke University MOOC?
This is a free online course. Students interested in the possibility of earning a certificate have the option to enroll in a verified certificate option. Students who complete the course while earning an average of 70% or more on the foundational problem sets and exam will receive a signed certificate if a student has chosen to enroll in the verified certificate option. This is an introductory course for students with limited background in chemistry; basic concepts involved in chemical compositions, periodic trends, reactions, and quantitative problem solving will be emphasized with the goal of preparing students for further study in chemistry.
Course Introduction
This is the first part of a two part introductory course for students with limited or no background in chemistry; in this part of the course, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, the periodic table, periodic trends, nomenclature, and chemical problem solving will be emphasized. The goal of the course sequence is to prepare students for further study in chemistry as needed for many science, health, and policy professions. Topics include introductions to atoms, molecules, ions, the periodic table, stoichiometry, and chemical reactions. The pattern of the use of ratios in chemical problem solving will be emphasized.
Each week the course will contain a series of short video lectures with interactive questions embedded in the lectures. Students will have opportunities to practice each week via exercises at two levels of depth: one set of foundational problems directly related to lecture videos and another set of problems requiring more synthesis of ideas and application of pre-existing algebra skills.
