So I actually really like Chem 105... Call me a nerd. I guess I am one but I find the class incredibly interesting. I love how Dr Wood explains everything in such a way that we learn not only what we need to know but also why everything happens the way that it happens. I know a lot of chemistry teachers spend more time focused on memorization and drilling facts and information into their students but I much prefer Dr. Wood's approach of teaching us ideas and ways to predict chemical behavior based on structure and, well, mainly Coulomb's Law since it's Dr. Wood's favorite.
www.chem.byu.edu/chemcompanion/ is also a really great resource where you watch clips on different concepts while Dr. Wood, in a small box in the upper left-hand corner, explains it to you. This website is great if you miss class or just need some extra explaining on certain concepts.
Unfortunately, the latest unit is proving to be one of the more difficult ones to understand and I should really be checking this website out instead of writing blogs haha.
