Maybe you should apply to MIT and take her class.

Too bad the person shooting this video did not zoom in to where the teacher is pointing.When the teacher is using the computer to show a slide or a graph on the screen, the video person shoots at the teacher instead of zooming into the screen. So the class can see the screen but the Youtube audience can only look at the teacher. Too bad.

WOW A COLLEGE PROFESSOR ACTUALLY TEACHING WITHOUT CAPTAIN POWERPOINT ON FULL BLAST FOR THE ENTIRE LECTURE!!! wish my university(Temple) professors were like this (math prof.s dont count...their universally exceptional) actually...come to think of it, it's probably b/c I'm in the school of business where latent semi-retardation is implied of the students (usually a fair assumption, myself excluded thank God. Wish I had the guts to go into the sciences.... Any MIT students readin this? How's MIT??

APA you mean yea giving credit to where credit is due i want to write my ideas on my web site then use them as a reference LOL so more or less it exists to the puplic get what im saying i would be able to say my therorys have value BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

You could master everything, know them to the smallest details, but without a certificate/degree script, you "DO NOT KNOW". Cruel but true. A four year degree could easily be crystallized into 10 university text books? But all graduates will say they get more than that. The friends, the network (ppl you know, but not your friends), project exp, etc... But what drove me to uni was - I needed a degree.

Lastly, I hope that you'll pass your first year undergrad academic argument/critical/cynical reading or what have you, should you be reading one.

2ndly, giving credits to the discoveries and the discoverers has its importance; well, at least for us in the field. It's quite embarrassing if a chemistry student does not know some of the most famous name in chemistry; that would be like an US citizen doesn't know JFK or Eisenhower. Giving credits is just like writing out references. You must already know that it's important to cite your sources - and then your fault for appeal to authority??

Hi Kat, you definitely sounds like a new, overly zealous student in academic argument/critical reading that sort of things. I did those as well, and I am a chemistry major. Firstly, she's not arguing, she is stating FACTS. She's not saying it's correct because XX says so; she is saying who found what, some stories about those chemists, that sort of things. Those are facts.

For some reason when I think of MIT, I would think the very 1st chemistry class would be some intense quantum chemistry.And the professor would never say a word and only write down proof after proof and if you had a question they would kick you out of the university for being so dumb that you need help.

How did you record this video? With a cam corder? With a webcam?
