AP Chemistry prep class - Post-project Reflection

Name: Michael Phuong
Project Name: Chemistry review packet for Chemistry students that need review or incoming Chemistry students that want to get ahead
Group Members: Michael Phuong, Jonathan Adams

The changed project went off without a hitch but it was annoying to change the project at such a late date. However, many of the preparations in place for the AP Chemistry prep class were able to be switched and to be used in the review packet. I felt that this project isn't as helpful as an AP Chemistry prep class would be but since AP Chemistry is officially cancelled for the next school year, we had to change the project. The Chemistry packet was fairly straightforward and simple to put together. We basically typed out the notes that Mr. Shiroma had given us. This review packet also is intended for use by those who have already taken the course so practice problems aren't included. The packet is simply meant to help refresh the memory of those that have taken the course so generalized notations are included in the packet but not practice problems.
For the next projects in the future, I'd like to be able to not have to change projects. I would also like to help in an actual course and follow through with the original project idea as that is much more helpful to everyone. Especially to the people who will be directing the course because, many times, you learn a lot more from teaching than you do from just learning.
