I hate hate hate conversion factors. I swear one night I started crying while doing chem I, and I told myself that I do not even want to become a doctor anymore because if I cannot convert I cannot do anything else. Thank god to this video though!! You explain a million times better than my professor. Thank you so much Tyler!!Instead of changing my life career I will just come to your channel instead. You saved me !!
Tyler DeWitt, for Chem 1 YOU are the only one I watch. no one else hits the spot. Thank you for doing what you do. You help low income students who can't afford a tutor. You're the best!!!!
You're teaching my entire class! Our own professor doesn't do as well as you!!!!! We appreciate you, and the time you take to make each video. We are Finally understanding chemistry. Thank You!!!
You inspire me to overcome my irrational fear of chemistry and hate of being educated in general. This fear caused by not only my own negligence to applying myself in high school, but having the type of teachers that make you wonder how they ever received that job in the first place. Sitting in class after class, never truly learning, just storing knowledge that holds an expiration date and will eventually disappear from my memory. Lately, I've learned the importance of why it's so important to understand "WHY" and now I'm asking it mentally all the time. You have confirmed that importance, I believe it will lead to tremendous success. Teaching students is such a big responsibility and privilege because you have the potential to inspire or destroy future world changers. Thank you Tyler. I really appreciate your videos. I'm choosing to stay in my chemistry course this semester because of you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. You truly have a gift for teaching and explaining things the way you do. I spent my entire college career avoiding chemistry, and just could not postpone it any longer. I am a registered nurse going back for my psychiatric nurse practitioner degree. I see how you have helped so many people, myself included, further their education. I want to say thank you for taking something so intimidating and making it very much approachable. You are helping so many people reach their career goals so they can in turn help others. Keep making a difference, Tyler. God bless you.
i'm rounding 22.526 to 2 significant figures because there are 2 sig figs in 23 km. it's very important to understand how to round with significant figures; you can watch my videos on that topic, starting with "significant figures made easy!"
That was what I hated about college: they have no interest in learning. Their singular goal is data input, to create robots who can pass exams and move along. The problem is that the courses are designed specific to the field, so if you do not actually learn the material, actually understand what you are doing, how and why, then when you enter the real world, enter that field, the education becomes meaningless.
but it is YOUR education, not theirs. it is your job to seek out that deeper understanding. it's foolish to think you can just show up to class and leave having mastered the material. life doesn't work like that
+Brian Lenhart Well, you see, I am here, because I have the privilege of being able to reach this resource. Not everyone has that privilege, many, many children do not have that privilege, nor the guidance of someone to point them in the direction of life-long learning. Those children are dependent upon their educators to be that guidance, upon people like myself, and people like you, and above all people like Patrick here. It's foolish to assume that everyone has the life course that will lead them to become self-motivated, intrepid, life-long learners.
Its 2020 and your videos are helping me pass my chemistry class! Thank you so much, i was having so much anxiety before i found your page. May God bless you with greatness always!!
This will help you determine which goes in the numerator and whats the denominator: What ever unit you want to get rid of, you put it in the denominator, and what ever unit you would like to end up with goes in the numerator. So at 4:46 when it was 1ft 96in x -------- = 8ft 12 in The 1 ft went into the numerator because he wanted his answer to be in ft, and put the inches at the bottom because he didnt want his answer in inches. Thats how my Engineering teacher told us. Hope that helped :)
The most helpful videos I have come across. I look for your videos to help explain either the background info or step by step instruction to complete an equation. I am so thankful for your videos. You are the best!!!! Thank you!
I appriciate the time you put to make these videos . I'm a foreigner and I graduated 15 years ago from my high school and almost forgot everything . Anyways i decided to study dental hygiene and chem 1 was the prerequisite for this major . Eventhough I passed my tsi test but having a hard time to learn everything in a different language with different methods of teaching and not having a good professor who only reads his PowerPoints for us which we can do it ourselves too made me decide to quit studying it but your videos opened the door of hope for me and not yo give up . You are making everything simpler Clearer and more understanding. God bless you .thanks thousand times
I know I'm WAY LATE to the praising party... But I suffered from brain damage in late 2019... Forgot nearly EVERYTHING I learned in my math classes throughout high school and my most recent math courses. I was so terrified. I want to be a teacher, but what teacher can't remember math!? I recently began attending a new University, and YOU sir, have made things SO GOSH DARN AMAZING!!! Conversion factors hurt my head so bad, I feel like my concussion is coming back. However! You help make it simple and easy to understand!! Thank you, SO MUCH!!!!
I love how Tyler explains the steps, breaking down the conversions. His instructions are easy to understand. I will be using his videos for all my math classes. Also, I wouldn't say I like conversions, but what I hate more are rounding numbers. Some things I can understand, and they click, but for some reason, I just can't grasp rounding. I will check out Tyler's video to help.
Tyler, YOU. ARE. AMAZING. I have been dreading this class! I am a 35 year old returning college student with no chemistry experience, and you have made this SO easy to understand the material! Since you came into my life I am an A chemistry student! Keep doing what you do!!
FINALLY....now THIS makes sense!!!!! I am being taught Con/Fac by a professor with a PhD....he could not explain it so that I understood WHY I am doing WHAT I am doing!!! Ok, it's official, you're my tutor from now on! Thank you sooooo much for your help, it means a lot to so many of us!!
I have watched your other converting unit videos and I am more comfortable with doing it then before. By the time I got to this video I was extremely burnt out BUT I loved that you took the time to explain why this method is helpful and useful. In my Principles of Chemistry it doesn't explain why and when it tells us how it is just to difficult to grasp. So thank you for this video!
I thank God for you. I am making efforts to get into a University. I have to pass tests to be considered enrolled in their degree program. Thank you for "truly and honestly" teaching throughoughly for my understanding. God bless you Tyler!
Beginning my second semester of college after being a high school dropout warehouse worker for twelve years. Your videos are super helpful especially for my astronomy class. THANK YOU!!
You earned me a 51 on my test. Just FYI, I was going to bomb out at maybe a 2 without you. You brought my understanding up a lot! Thank you for these videos, all these years later.
Your videos have saved me this semester! THANK YOU for taking the time to teach other people!!! I am so grateful to have found your videos. First time back in school in a long time and taking chemistry, i forgot all the math. SO THANK YOU!!!!!
Amen! You put that into perspective. I’m currently taking chemistry in college and although I understand it. I often ask why? Or how?? Love this. Thank you
OMG didn't even watch the entire video yet but was compelled to write a comment bc I feel like your speaking directly to me. I need to understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I need to understand what the questions are asking me to do and feel confident that I know what I'm doing. Besides the just mentioned, my main issue is setting up the equation in the way that I'll get the correct answer. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH can't wait to finish watching your videos!
My Chem instructor has an accent and talks fast.. so all your videos are great in addition to reading my text books and trying to understand my notes from class lectures.. Thank Tyler for taking the time in making and uploading. Liked and Subed
I’m so thankful that I’m crying. I’m doing prerequisites and I understood it the first time my instructor explained it. But then now I’m lost. Thank you!!!! ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this in a conversational way and addressing the logic. I teach adult learners who are also English language learners, and I can't wait to show this to them :)
Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!! seriously you saved my life. your explanations were so easy and clear to understand. Nothing or anybody have been able to explain this to me for the past 3 weeks and finally tonight I came across your videos and yes!! i did it!!! Khan Academy needs to get some ideas from you. :)
Tyler, you got me through chemistry & I can see that your gonna get me through my nursing entrance exam. I THANK YOU for the simplistic way you make these very difficult subjects sooooo understandable. Don’t know if you believe in God, but to me, your a GODSEND!!!
Your videos are nice! I am a Physics teacher and I use conversion factors to teach. It's convenient for cancelling units and for them to easily identify 'big' from 'small' units, but understanding conversion without the conversion factors for them is quite refreshing too, Thank you very much. Even your "Hey science teachers -- make it fun" video is nice. Keep up the spirit, you're inspiring us!
Thanks you so much! It helped me to review for my conversion of units test! I forgot how so I watched this video and it helped me remember how to convert units! Thanks again!
I just have to say wow. I am impressed by how well you teach. Are you a teacher? If you aren't, you should be. If you are, you need to be a professor so you can teach teachers how to teach. I am a teacher and I wish I had someone explain all this to me like you did. Sometimes the hardest thing to do as a teacher is to explain the why behind the concept. It is hard because no one taught us why. We were just robots too. We have to sit down and take extra time(that we often don't have due to too much paperwork, etc.) to figure out the why before we teach it. I will be watching the other videos you made that pertain to the math standards I have to teach. I teach sixth grade. Thank you for the help. Believe me, my kids will appreciate it.
Why students have no idea, well in many cases is because teachers don't know how to explain!!!! lol you are good though My math teacher is a very nice lady but gosh she barely explains, she tushes all over and jumps all over, and is hard to understand like that. I am a slow learner, meaning I need to take time to understand each part and why I am doing what I am doing, then I can put all the pieces together to complete the puzzle and get the answer. thanks!
You rock. I have an A in college algebra but this stuff has thrown me for a loop. I didn't know why until now. I was missing the why in it all. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks Tyler. You have got it so right. Thank you for telling me why I cancel. It sounds basic but I need to understand why I am doing something. Thank goodness somebody understands we are not robots. Keep up the good work.
Hey everyone, I'm here to help. If you have any questions or just want to learn more, click on the link in the description above. It'll take you to a page where you can ask me questions.
Tyler, you do such an amazing job with your videos. You have truly made a connection we me to which I understand chemistry so much more. I must have seen every video of yours in regards to chem, and these really helped pull me thorugh the semester. You have a good thing going, and I hope you remian inspired to teach.
You are amazing!!! Once you understand the material it is sooo much easier to solve it! The way these conversions are taught like robots make zero sense and most people don't know what they are doing. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING AND MAKING PEOPLE THINK AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND! You are amazing!!!
Duuuudeee! Thank you Tyler! I'm taking chemistry right now and this is my struggle because I have no idea why I'm converting. My mind blanks halfway through the problem.
you are the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest!!!!! you've helped me in the past but this semester I will focus on your way of teaching for chem 1 and pre cal :( thank you!!!!
You need to by my college professor! Im taking CHM this semester, and it's been alright but there are a lot of hard topics! Thanks and this made more sense.
This video is awesome I just want to thank you for taking the time out to create it, it really did help. It me helped actually understand the conversion factoring, my teacher just started us off with big problems without even explaining first; but anyways I just want to say thanks for breaking it down it really helped.
I honestly read this title as “understanding conversations with conversion factors” for like 30 seconds and was so confused as to why there was a video about some guy having a conversation with so me conversion factors
I actually strongly dislike my grade 10 science teacher. She teaches us this stuff but instead going to depth on how it works and explaining it, all she does is hand out like a 3 page flip book and go over the instructions (going over whatever is typed on the paper) all the way to the end of the period, then we have like 2 pages pages of random question for homework some of us can do but barely even know tf is goin on. She is also away most of the time during our lunch period so I can't even ask for help and nor do I have friends in my class that I can ask questions about this cuz they always call me retarded and stupid when I don't understand the first time. Instead i'm stuck here viewing this vid which I really appreciate 100%. The first min of this video perfectly explains what my teacher is doing.....
another method that I can add it for example if we think that is hard to realize how to put as well as 1 foot up down (division or multiplication ) first think that we have to see the question if they say how many inch in 4 feet that mean we have to put foot down to cancel them together so the 12 inch of course should be above ... and thank you sooo much Dr dewitt you helpful and you are spacial .
