Really help my daughter by S. Cannady  5 Stars
October 13, 2009
All the Standard Deviant products are excellent. They are extremely cheesy but I think that help my daughter to recall the information.

Good but a little cheesy by LMB (Houston, TX)  3 Stars
May 01, 2009
My kids are 16 and 19. The younger one thought there was no redeeming value and that it was more appropriate for a 10 year old. Well, 10 is a bit young for this video.
The basic chem info is in here. Lots of odd hype in the telling--reminded me of the old Monty Python, without the crudeness.
Bottom line, if you need a quick overview and aren't bothered by the distracting "try to be fun" presentation, it is worth buying. If you think the subject needs more serious contemplation, it is definitely not for you.

Chemistry prereq for RN program. by R. Kelley (San Jose, California) 5 Stars
February 24, 2006
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!

Attend Class Every Day, Read Your Chem Book Ahead of Time... by A. LOPEZ-ESTRADA (Princeton)  4 Stars
May 02, 2002
... 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. by Paul McCarty (Kearney, Missouri United States) 5 Stars

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