Learn more about the Chemical Modules found in Living things

Plants and animals both share the same or similar chemical components. This course is all about getting to know and understand the more common of those molecules.  In doing so, you will build a greater understanding of living things and lay the foundation for better understanding what you encounter in the field of biochemistry.

Some graduates will use this as a stepping stone toward further study, and perhaps working in the field of biochemistry. For others, this course will enable you to better understand aspects of a job you now have or which you may have in the future. In any job where you deal with human health, plants or animals; a deeper understanding of biochemistry will always be a significant advantage.

Workload

Study when, where and however much you want. For most students, the course can be completed with a total of around 100 hours of study; and a commitment close to that may be needed to achieve desired learning outcomes.

Assessment

Self Assessment Tests are presented throughout the course. These are essentially an automated quiz. When you undertake a "SAT" or "Self Assessment Test", you will be able to see what you got correct, and what was incorrect; and in that way, you can identify your weaknesses.

Assignments are given at the end of each lesson. You should complete this assignment, paying careful attention to follow what is asked of you. It can be just as important to learn to work to specification, as it is to learn about the topic you are studying. Graduates who develop a habit of working to specification with vegetable growing, will impress others, and will be more efficient when self employed.

A Final Exam is offered upon satisfactory completion of all assignments. This is optional. If you choose to apply for and do this exam, you will have the possibility of obtaining a "formal credit" or "Pass Certification" for this course. A fee applies. The exam may be sat under prearranged conditions anywhere in the world. This college will award you a formal transcript, upon successful completion of the exam, as proof of your results.
