An extensive review course in human anatomy is offered in typically irreverent manner by the Standard Deviants, a cast of energetic young performers who strive mightily to present very serious material in an utterly absurd, and therefore memorable, manner. One cast member offers a disclaimer that this tape isn't a substitute for a student attending class, adding, "Think of us as academic Hamburger Helper." That might actually overstate the case, as the extensive outline of anatomy on this video has been prepared with the cooperation of very reliable academic authorities. The material begins with the basics of anatomical positioning (knowing your anterior from your posterior) and moves to the skeletal system, and then we're off and running through all the bones, onto the muscular system, the nervous system, and the sensory organs. Throughout the presentation the young performers engage in skits that are often labored and totally silly, but that's the whole idea. The principle of this mnemonic device is that a wacky image is easier to remember than dry words on the page of a textbook, and so the Standard Deviants aren't afraid to get ridiculous in the cause of making hard science memorable. --Robert J. McNamara

5.0 out of 5 stars Anatomy couldn't be easier!, February 14, 2001

This review is from: The Standard Deviants: Anatomy, Part 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

At age 35, I decided to change careers and go into the medical field. I bought this video to get me started in my first college anatomy course. It was not only a great tool in learning but it also made it fun. My 14 year old daughter has now taken them in her possesion. She loves them as much as I do. These videos are not only helpful to young adults but for older adults as well. We also have this series for the course in algebra. They offer a wide range of videos that have helped me to return to college after all these years.
