KA: Mega thank you for posting this! Awesome!

Thank you for bringing us up-to-date on this! But can you please let us know if the following videos were also added in any of these months? I thought I went through the Chemistry playlist that includes them, but they show up now with no check mark showing that I haven't viewed them. I am usually pretty diligent about watching everything and making sure I am watching them all the way through in order to get the check marks.

Chemistry -> Electronic structure of atoms -> Electron configurations -> Shells, subshells, and orbitals
Chemistry -> Electronic structure of atoms -> Electron configurations -> Introduction to electron configurations
AP Chemistry -> Electronic structure of atoms -> Electron configurations -> Shells, subshells, and orbitals
AP Chemistry -> Electronic structure of atoms -> Electron configurations -> Introduction to electron configurations

The AP Chemistry referred to above is the older one, not the Beta one.

Again, thank you for keeping us up-to-date on these!

Hi Regina! I'm checking into this for you, and as soon as I hear back I'll share the answer. :)

July 08, 2020 15:44

Hi again Regina! Here's what I heard back from our content superhero: "Both "Shells, subshells, and orbitals" and "Introduction to electron configurations" are relatively new (added Dec. 2019), and both replaced older videos that had errors ("Orbitals" and "More on orbitals and electron configurations" for the first video, and "Electron configurations 2" for the second)."

Hope this helps!

@... Thanks for the response. I found the post made "6 months ago" with the December updates (and since I'm using my Windows laptop with a mouse, I was able to hover over it and see that the date was January 6, 2020). Several Chemistry videos are listed, but these two were not. Maybe because they were replacements rather than brand new ones, they got overlooked for the listing. I started the Chemistry course some time in late 2019, so I probably viewed the old videos when they were still posted.

I will also check on the eight that were listed in the January 6 post to see if I have seen them yet or not. I am currently on a hiatus from my Chemistry studies due to concentrating on courses that are going away in a week.

(I really wish you folks had also posted the announcement of the disappearing courses in this section, too, so I could have seen it sooner, plus I would have preferred more notice, perhaps a similar lead time as that given to the removal of the Missions. It would be nice if a big donor would step in and give all or at least some of the courses that are being retired at least a temporary reprieve.)

@...

***** CORRECTION *****

"Introduction to electron configurations" was listed in the January 6, 2020, post, but "Shells, subshells, and orbitals" was not.

I also found two others from earlier in my Chemistry course of study that don't have check marks and are presumably new:

Chemistry -> Atoms, compounds, and ions -> Introduction to the atom -> The mole and Avogadro's number
Chemistry -> Chemical reactions and stoichiometry -> Molecular composition -> Worked example: Determining an empirical formula from percent composition data

I had probably progressed beyond these playlists by the time they were posted. Viewing all of these new ones will give me a partial refresher once I return to Chemistry next week.

Thanks again for all of the updates.
