Recommended by university professors and teachers nationwide, The Standard Deviants are the perfect resource for academic success. With videos ranging from English Composition to Organic Chemistry, The Standard Deviants’ entertaining and enjoyable teaching style breaks down difficult subjects into a clear, step-by-step format

Recommended by university professors and teachers nationwide, The Standard Deviants are the perfect resource for academic success.  The Standard Deviants’ entertaining and enjoyable teaching style breaks down difficult subjects into a clear, step-by-step format. Besides learning the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, this series provides information on plate tectonics, volcanoes, weathering and more!

The Standard Deviants provide:

  • A comprehensive tutorial of challenging course concepts
  • Study techniques including mnemonics, visual devices and memory builders
  • Quick reference cards with charts, definitions, formulas and course outlines
  • An approachable, off-beat format that builds understanding, confidence and retention
