The Standard Deviants: Chemistry, Part 1

Understanding properties of matter, compounds, and bonding can be difficult. This tape will give you everything you'll need to understand basic chemistry, including an explanation of the Periodic Table, the Law of Conservation of Mass, empirical formulas and more. Clever use of computer graphics and memory-enhancing skits will help you relax while you tackle important chemistry concepts.

Chemistry prereq for RN program.

You don't need to be a kid to watch this video. I'm 30 and going back to school to be an RN. I can't understand my professor to "save my life" but this video helped me very much! The Deviants act kind of cheesy but this video really gives a different perspective on how to understand Chemistry. It's worth a watch for sure. If you're buying it used, be sure to ask the seller if the insert is included. They refer to it several times and my seller did not include it in mine. Happy studying! February 24, 2006

Attend Class Every Day, Read Your Chem Book Ahead of Time...

... and then, and only then, should you give Standard Deviant's Chemistry a look. First, the topics and the way they are covered is pretty basic. Second, not much is said in regards to the most common mistakes that chem students make (not reffering to Kelvin temp. in terms of degrees and Sig. Figs. are mentioned.) Third, the Deviants are somewhat distracting but hilarious nonetheless. But overall, these are excellent review and supplemental aids for they help impress upon you what is critical, but only slightly effective on their own and by themselves. Good luck with Chemistry!

FUNNY! Explains the subject matter very well.

Makes chemistry very entertaining. Remember, sigma does not equal beer! April 13, 2002

Wonderful chemistry learning tools.

This series of tapes is great. They have a sense of humor without clouding the details of the science they are teaching. They present the topics in rapid fire action that prevents any thought of boredom. Great learning tool that makes learning chemistry easy and fun. Good for elementary through college levels.
