If I had access to chemistry animations online I would make them an integral part of my study process because they’re very helpful I would make them a small part of my study process because they’re somewhat helpful I’m not sure if I’ll use them or not I probably wouldn’t use them much because they are not helpful I would avoid them like the plague because they actually hurt instead of help Cross-Tab Label 0 / 512

Very helpful

Somewhat helpful

Not helpful at all

Can’t say because I’ve never used it

If I had a choice between a “traditional” chemistry course (such as this one) and a “high-tech” course with 1/4 to 1/2 of the lectures replaced by interactive web assignments and animations, I would: Definitely sign up for the “high-tech” course Probably sign up for the “high-tech” course Not sure Probably stick with the “traditional” course Definitely stick with the “traditional” course Cross-Tab Label 0 / 512

Definitely sign up for the “high-tech” course

Probably sign up for the “high-tech” course

Not sure

Probably stick with the “traditional” course
