We will begin assuming there is no prior knowledge of chemistry, and the vast majority of the topics of AP Chemistry on Khan Academy are to be covered, though not necessarily in that order. If learners want a particular topic to be covered it can be requested. Lectures (with slides shared later) will alternate with practice problems pertinent to the lecture in the session just prior to the practice session. There are review sessions scattered in between. We mainly follow the plan outlined in the 5 steps to a 5 AP Chemistry textbook, supplemented with material from Chemistry, a Molecular Approach. Learners are not required to get any materials.

We will be using the collegeboard AP Precalc curriculum standards, not the Khan Academy curriculum standards. If learners want a particular topic to be covered it can be requested. Lectures (with slides shared later) will generally alternate with practice problems pertinent to the lecture in the session just prior to the practice session. In the beginning we will have more than one session dedicated to a lecture before doing problems. There are review sessions scattered in between. Structure is based on Cohen textbook, 11th ed. The tutor has taken the AP Precalculus exam last year and scored a 5.
