Hello!! My name is Valerie and I've been a dental assistant for almost 5 years, now aiming to become a dental hygienist. My original plan was slightly different and chemistry was not on my to-do list. That was intentional as it has never been my best subject, but it is now part of my requirements for the hygiene program. I expect to learn about elements and their relations/reactions as I've always found them interesting, but ultimately I hope to learn as much as I possibly can in this course. This is the first time I will be taking a fully online course, so I am not too familiar with the layout but am ready to navigate it. I plan to dedicate time to this course while I am not working, mainly on the weekends. I hope I can use this information in some way in my career and also in my day-to-day life. I am excited for this semester!
