Chemistry seems challenging to most students because there are a great deal of foreign definitions introduced early in the course.

 

In addition, many students feel uncomfortable with solving chemistry problems because it takes practice for the student to learn the skills needed to read, understand, and tackle the problems in a logical manner.

 

In other words, almost every problem in Chemistry is a word problem, and most students have difficulty with these types of problems because he or she must read the problem and truly understand what is asked before any solution can be attempted.  There is usually more than one way to solve the problem, which can lead to further confusion for the student.

 

Our DVDs provide the extra practice needed to succeed in Chemistry!

 

All lessons are taught with a hands-on approach featuring numerous worked example problems so that you "learn by doing" rather than by a long, dry lecture.

 

This DVD set teaches the fundamentals of Chemistry 1.  Volume 2 will follow and will teach additional topics in Chemistry 1!
