The high tuition at MIT is worth every penny for producing great resources like this for their students. Thank you so much MIT. Other universities should follow in your leadership.

Yes. Thanks! My school has low tuition too but that shouldnt equate to an inadequate education. Yet, i question whether or not 'they' care if we learn ANYTHING. We recieve ZERO background info on any of the experiments. No practice or informational worksheets, no video, no powerpoint,...nada. It's difficult ot keep up especially with limited experience. Thanks again for sharing! Greatly appreciated.

These MIT videos have been a real life saver for me, everything from organic to physics. Now I'm watching this one again to get ready for the MCAT.
