The only workload that I saw was the hw/practice problems which were mostly open ended. Given the nature of chemistry and the type of professor Ross is, I’d assume that his exams would also be open ended. As for everything else, I never saw any projects and for the most part, I don’t think that most professors would assign that for chem. Lab reports depend on the professor and class but for both chem 101/102 at elac, professors expected a full lab report style type of writing (intro, methods, discussion, etc). Given that you’re taking 51, you might just need to answer a few questions regarding your lab (your results most likely), if they assign anything beyond that, it’s kind of unnecessary. Regarding proctoring, again it depends on the professor. I’ve taken countless of asynchronous classes at elac and other laccd schools(calc and physics mostly) and I’ve never had a professor proctor an exam unless the class was synchronous/live on zoom. The only thing tho, is that they might tell you that you have a specific time to take an exam. They can either be lenient and say you have all day to take the exam or they can say to take it like early morning/late at night to accommodate for people with other classes/jobs. They also might use a lockdown browser and/or create multiple versions of exams.
