      Fun fact: I stopped watching all Vlogbrother related material 3 years ago. I'm back now watching CrashCourse and SciShow to increase my knowledge of science to help me out when university starts in September.

    In high school, I was very excited to take a Chemistry class. However, a few months in, it became my least favorite class. A bunch of the more rowdy students hijacked the class and often distracted the teacher - I learnt nothing, and it showed on tests. I eventually came to dislike Chemistry, treating it as a dirty word. But now, only one video in, a decent teacher has reminded me exactly why I was so excited in the first place.
    Thank you, Hank!

      Did your school not have prerequisites for chemistry? At my high school, a student could not enroll in chemistry until they had completed algebra 1 and geometry, and could not enroll in physics until they had completed algebra 2/trigonometry. This had the effect of weeding the disruptive students out, as they were still languishing in pre-algebra or remedial arithmetic.

    Back in my sophomore year, my teacher never taught us any of these. Instead, of actual chemistry lecture, he gave us articles and forced us to highlight, annotate, and write an essay about it ( more work than my actual English class). Now I have to take a Chemistry placement exam in one week, and I glad that I found you guys or else I will fail and have to pay for more classes in college.

CC, have you ever thought of doing a series with Hank on Science History? A series where each video explores the life and accomplishments of notable scientists such as Einstein, Newton, Goddard, Tesla, Copernicus etc. would be awesome to see from you guys. Looking forward to whatever's next for CC!

    People in the comment section, fret not if this is your first time coming to crash course. We all have to get used to Hank and John talking as fast as they do and anyways, there is a reason this channel is called "CrashCourse". It's meant to jam information and facts down your throat at the speed of 3 words per second. I think...

    I'm running through this course now for pure recreation; stopping, repeating lessons, and taking notes along the way. I really have to say that these are nothing short of amazing! Hank acts as a brilliant broker of knowledge between the worlds of academia and the layman. For me personally this has been as exciting and as accessible as my experiences with Brian Greene, Charles Van Doren, and Carl Sagan. The enthusiasm and humor keeps me fully engaged at a constant clip, not to mention the sharing of this information broken down into something highly digestible for the masses is downright inspiring.

Part of that truth lies with my will to actually want to learn more, and part of it has to do with how well this was edited and produced. I'm subscribing for more education and knowledge!
    NOTE:
    The occasional restating and review of bits throughout the video and in the end made a huge difference in my ability to retain and understand the material. Thanks for that!

Stoichiometry is a big part of it so try focusing on that because a lot of the conversions you will be doing will rely on that. Good Luck!

Physics is more general, and it's better if you want to find a "Theory of Everything". But chemestry is the tool for studying more deeply specific things down to the individual molecules

Be it concentrations of heavy metal around dumps or other toxins in the soil that in dangers or inhibits growth. I'd also like to be able to learn more about how various known pollutants interact with the environment and how we can reduce or mitigate the effects. When we're talking about pollutants I believe that you need to have a fundamental understanding of how they're build and what they do to the surrounding environment in order to be able to really effective clean up or improve the problem. Naturally I'm not an expert so if this field doesn't provide what I'm looking for I'll try something else, but right now that's my end goal so chemistry seems like a good starting point.
