The Engineering Circuit Analysis Tutor: Volume 1 -- 10 Hour Course!

we home-school, and the book we have used is not well-structured and more complicated than necessary. These DVDs (part1-3) are the best supplement! Easy, detailed, fun- our 16 year old likes them a lot, and they helped her tremendously! The instructor uses a lot of examples and shows how to solve problems, explains in details what is what. For some, it may not work out- but for us- that was a saving grace. Now we can move forward with a solid foundation in chemistry.

Excellent! Clear! Articulate! That's what I have to say about Jason Gibson's chemistry course. I got this as a brush-up course b/c I teach students who have learning disabilities in high school, and chemistry is not my strongest subject. I wanted to be much better at it. This course does it. The only complaint that I have is that in the section on scientific notation, Gibson does not mention that the number that is to be converted into scientific notation must equal a number from or equal to 1 up to or less than 10. This is a very important point, an essential one when teaching scientific notation and explains where the decimal point is moved and why it isn't moved to a different spot in the number. Aside from that, this is a very concise review on chemistry. I would definitely recommend it to students who have the self-discipline to sit down and take the course. The best part of the course is getting through unit conversions. This is a top notch course that is sure to make a difference for anyone facing chemistry who has a problem with it.

I am taking Chemistry 101 in college. I am 15 years removed from high school and my chemistry was rusty. I purchased this product, including the other 3 volumes. I am blown away! A professor will usually lecture to a certain level of implied knowledge, I didn't have that knowledge. This series will teach you the "stuff" that leads up to college level chemistry, the material you need for the class, and beyond what you need for the chemistry class. The 3rd part of the material is actually the most important because with you have a question on an exam that you have to "walk it through," you will have the confidence to solve it. SO you will score well on your exams. You can't memorize your way through chemistry, you have to grasp the material so you can problem solve. This is the best volume of DVD's I have ever purchased. I haven't even gone into how well the teacher explains things, he is a natural teacher that won't bore you to death. I am very satisfied! Don't hesitate, buy it!

He's excellent. He's easy to understand if you have no clue about chemistry, and really starts at the start. I heard some people complaining because he has some spellings issues... I could care less about misspellings when I'm scrambling to get through a criminal justice/forensic science class with NO chemistry background. He's helping me succeed and I'll be back for other videos. This is great if you have NO background and quickly need to get up to speed, or use it along with a chemistry class you're struggling with, he can help. Thanks!Edited to add: After using this dvd for a few weeks, I'm thrilled. I just got a perfect score on my chemistry test which is a miracle. I only got this score because of this dvd. And better yet, I really understand it so I can use the concepts and not just hope for the best. I just watched again the 45 min or so segment on significant figures. For example, my textbook has one page, and 45 min was a wonderful in- depth look at this topic that really helped me. It's a great dvd, thanks again!

I bought this to accompany an online course with a community college after being out of school for a number of years. I have to say I am rustier than I want to admit, and this DVD is saving my butt. I am impressed, and thankful for the hard work and effort put into this series. I have already bought Mental Math, Fractions through Algebra, and will go on to get the College Algebra course before I begin it this summer. Unlike some reviewers, I actually preferred that he use the whiteboard because I could take notes along with the video if I wanted to. It's better than the classroom, cutting to the chase without leaving out important details. You won't be sorry if you need help and purchase this set.

Jason is very thourough in his presentation of the material. Very easy to understand. I will be purchasing more of his chemistry tutors in the near future. I had College chemistry in 1957. Being in Retail consulting I never had the opportunity to follow up with my knowledge at the time. I am surprised both on how much it has changed and how much I never really learned. Thank you Jason for a well presented concept of chemistry.

Not for us. I'm not sure what I expected from this, but wanted to counter the gushing reviews in order to make people stop to think before ordering. If you are looking for a lecture series with a guy standing in front of a white board, writing definitions and occasional problems on the white board, then you should go with the better reviews if you were looking for something else/more, you probably won't be satisfied with this.

I was really hoping for interesting graphics, even possibly some animation and illustration of the concepts. This DVD can be helpful, especially since my son's teacher is apparently not teaching the subject matter, but it is a lecture format, which is not very engaging for a 15 yr old boy. I'm rusty on my chemistry concepts so I found this helpful to at least explain the concepts coherently, but I would love to find a program that has more interest for adolescents, and keeps adults watching too. Can someone please create a great chemistry and biology teaching tool.....with graphics, cartoons, fun.......Come on, this stuff is great, but kind of dry.
