Student Testimonials:

“I am writing this comment to thank you for this AP Chemistry lecture series. I was going  to merely learn some basic chemical principles when I started this series last summer, but I ended up changing my mind about my future majors because of these lectures. I checked my AP scores for chemistry today and I got a 5 on it. Now I am planning to get a degree in chemistry (or some related field such as engineering), and I thank you for your effort to teach chemistry as clearly as possible so that people can appreciate this subject.” — Jinbin C.

“I'd like to thank you for providing us with these amazing lessons. They have helped me so much in my academic career and I believe I've even developed a passion for mathematics from watching your lessons on Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus.” — R. A.

"Mr. Hovasapian, you really make me excited to learn chemistry. Your clear understanding of the topics comes through in your clear teaching as well. Thanks so much for your videos!" — Shadd W.

"I was really confused 3 hours ago and now I get everything!" — Niraj S.

"You're a great teacher! I've had so much trouble understanding chemistry until I started watching your lectures. You make it really easy to understand. Thank you so much!" — Stephanie D.

My teacher includes the naming of hydrates in our assessments. How would one go about naming hydrates?
