VHS Movie Reviews of The Standard Deviants: Physics, Part 1 [VHS]
Movie Review: Abit drawn out
Summary: 3 Stars
I showed this, and lectured from it, to my 8th grade classes.
The concepts presented were fine. They were of course juvenile, so my students enjoyed them, but when it came time for the math portion, they were lost.
It wasn't that the math was that difficult, it's just that this program beat it to death, drug it outside and beat it again. Even I just wanted it to end and had to keep encouraging my kids to hang in there.
Movie Review: Standard Deviants Physics
Summary: 5 Stars
There may be some confusion about the purpose of Standard Deviant videos. The stated goal of this series is "enhancing the academic SUCCESS of students everywhere". Each video is designed with the college student in mind, for review in preparation for exams, or as an introduction to a tough subject of study, and they accomplish that purpose AMAZINGLY well!
These excellent overviews present important concepts in a memorable way. Yes, they can be silly and irreverent (hence the series title, a delightful play on words) but it's all to make your retention stronger during those stressful testing moments. Videos cover lots of crucial material fast, with the idea that you can replay any section as often as you need to, until you "get it". All videos contain study techniques and reference cards to make test prep easier.
These videos are NOT designed to be used by an instructor as "additional support material" to be shown to their students, either in the classroom or out. Nor are they a replacement for a good teacher/textbook. You will not find collections of demonstrations or experiments here, we are moving too fast for that. Nor will you find any examples or explanations a good teacher wouldn't have given already. These are a STUDY TOOL, not a TEACHING TOOL. Rating these useful and effective videos as a poor teaching tool is like rating an orange badly because it doesn't taste like an apple. It's unfair and misleading.
Movie Review: Extremely dissapointing!
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected demonstrations, experiments, animations. And what did I get? People sitting and talking! What's the point in making a video, if you don't use the capabilities of this medium? If I want equations and problems, I take a textbook. This video is nothing more than a (very superficial) textbook which is read aloud. And that goes for both parts.Movie Review: For Dummies Style Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great tool for those who would like an introduction to a tough subject. The pace is faster than I might have liked, but hey thats why I bought the DVD player. I learned at my pace and look forward to buying more. This program is perfect for the beginner or as a review for a college class.
Summary of The Standard Deviants: Physics, Part 1 [VHS]
Is gravity weighing down your understanding of physics? Well, gain the momentum you need to increase your knowledge with the Standard Deviants. Students can now easily understand the complex concepts of physics in this award-winning video. Includes such topics as: adding vectors, angular momentum, multiplying vectors, projectile motion, conservation of energy, Newton's Laws, centripetal acceleration, kinetic energy, the big three equations of kinematics. Running time: 1 hr 45 min"By focusing on the most complicated elements of a subject the tapes key in on areas where students are likely to need additional help." --The Daily Progress
Only the most intense science geeks have ever considered physics entertaining, but the Standard Deviants, undaunted as ever, do their best to make serious science fun to watch, and therefore memorable, in this two-hour presentation. Utilizing flashy graphics that make the perennial example of Newton being struck with an apple appear positively quaint, the troupe of exuberant young performers starts off by quickly providing the obligatory "what is physics" intro, and then moves into a fast tutorial on scientific notation. With the basics out of the way, it's time for segments illustrating scalars and vectors, which, in the format followed throughout the DVD, are followed by a review section and a quiz, which the student can either take or skip. More advanced concepts, including one-dimensional kinematics, two-dimensional kinematics, Newton's Laws of Motion, and friction all follow. Physics may not lend itself to the kind of madcap delivery the Standard Deviants have brought to other subjects, but the graphics employed are often brilliant, and the individual lessons are concise and easy to understand. The material has all been approved by an academic panel, and while this presentation is not intended to be a substitute for a course in physics, as a review guide this stands as a solid treatment of a serious subject, made as entertaining as possible. --Robert J. McNamara
