2.0 out of 5 stars Ok for the first semester....where's the rest?, May 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Standard Deviants - Organic Chemistry, Parts 1, 2 & 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Covers the theory and mechanisms well enough to be an introduction and quick review, and helps when all the textbook seems to be doing is put you to sleep. However it only covers (and perhaps this is only true at this university, although I doubt it) the first semester of orgo. It covers alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes well, but barely (if it all for some of them, and even when it does, does not cover enough reactions) covers the second semester topics like carboxylic acids, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, phenols, amides, esters, etc which tend to be the parts of the course where people are more likely to see their grades fall. Might be ok if there were a volume 4, 5, and 6 on the way to supplement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic Organic Chemistry made Simple, January 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Standard Deviants - Organic Chemistry, Parts 1, 2 & 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

These tapes are Entertaining as well as Simple, Clear, and to the Point. I thought these tapes were very helpful for anyone wanting to understand more about organic chemistry. I'm a chemist and I intend to share this and other tapes published by the Standard Deviants with my technicians at work to help them better understand their work in the laboratory!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Well done but very limited coverage, April 25, 2002

This review is from: The Standard Deviants - Organic Chemistry, Parts 1, 2 & 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

These tapes cover less than the first month of the first semester of a standard organic chemistry sequence. The coverage is shallow and schematic but accurate. The excellent production ultimately fails to transcend the dullness of the almost unavoidable rote memorization approach to introductory organic chemistry. Of very limited use to students, and no use to those seeking a quick review of the subject.
