I would pay you but I am poor.

you're amazing...too bad you're not one of my professors!!!!!  Thanks for the crash course in NMR....you're a life saver!

What pisses me off is that you work like hell to understand your organic professor, prepare lectures, re-read the book, still don't understand, get average/bad grades, think you're stupid, watch a simple/straight-to-the-point Youtube video and perfectly understand. Most professors can't teach for shit compared to school teachers who learned how to teach.

youre better than my professor that was a harvard graduate. i do not know where you went to school, but your way of teaching and explaining things has gotten me through organic chemistry with a 97%. The best grade for that course in years. Thank you.

Is there any way to actually contact the author of these fine videos?



[playernfs7]

nice teachng

[MMTPproductionz]

just wondering i notice you wear the same shirt in every video almost... so do you just wash it every night to match your videos or what? lol

Sweet baby jesus, thank-you so much for this! I'm taking the second half of general chem right now as an online course, and it is horrid; even more so when the teacher is disorganized and unassertive of things. > n< Listening to you is much easier than straining over copy pasted power points.
