- The eChIRP is an online resource to support your learning in CHEM 123.
- Login with your CWL above to gain free access to the eChIRP.
- To explore content and practice questions, use the top navigation or side menu on any page, or use the right-hand search bar.
- Each page of the eChIRP has a Key Points section like this to provide you with a quick overview of a topic.
- As we continue to develop the eChIRP, our goals are to provide you with:
- A resource where the content is perfectly aligned with the CHEM 123 curriculum
- An enhanced learning experience with interactive videos, questions, and 3D representations
- A more affordable option than a standard textbook
- Click each header below to expand the section and learn more about its contents.
Course content, examples, and interactive activities appear in the content section of each page. You can expand or collapse this section by clicking the +Content header to help you quickly navigate between the Content, Practice, and/or Feedback sections. To make the most of the content section:
- Read the Key Points section first to get an overview of the topic
- Integrate your lecture notes with your notes from the eChIRP
- Try all activities and examples on your own before checking any solutions
- Pay close attention to the "Avoid this common error" sections, which highlight misconceptions that many students have when first learning a topic
Each page has a practice section with interactive practice questions and feedback. These practice questions tend to focus on new topics introduced on a given page, rather than integrating topics together in complex questions. Once you've mastered the basics here, use the course problem sets to tackle more challenging integrated problems.
The interactivity on this site works on most devices but is best viewed from a laptop or computer on a modern browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox), since some activities (e.g. interactive videos) may not load correctly on browsers/devices that do not support html5 video (e.g. some older iPhones). If you run into a technical problem or have trouble viewing the content, please submit a <a "link1" href="https://chirp1.chem.ubc.ca/report-technical-issues-here/">technical report.
We are continually in the process of developing and improving the eChIRP based on student feedback. At the bottom of each page, please provide us with feedback on whether you found the page helpful or how it could be improved (and let us know if you think you've spotted an error!). If you have questions about the concepts on a page that requires a response, please contact your professor directly.
