Understanding Conversion Factors

[@marwanajem363]

I hate hate hate conversion factors. I swear one night I started crying while doing chem I, and I told myself that I do not even want to become a doctor anymore because if I cannot convert I cannot do anything else. Thank god to this video though!! You explain a million times better than my professor. Thank you so much Tyler!!Instead of changing my life career I will just come to your channel instead. You saved me !!

[@genesiscranston8933]

Yes, this! I feel so stupid because I just couldn't grasp the concept!

[@fatehahahmad3875]

same here 🙋🤦😭😭😭😭

[@michaelwillis9851]

no one asked

[@colincronin6774]

same bro

[@william_prescott_ii3277]

Are you a doctor now?

[@STFU0611]

Tyler DeWitt, for Chem 1 YOU are the only one I watch. no one else hits the spot. Thank you for doing what you do. You help low income students who can't afford a tutor. You're the best!!!!

[@heavendoors2045]

Amen

[@cortneystetson4480]

same! He's my favorite. My online chem teacher recommended his videos. haha

[@maryambinm8104]

saaaaaaammmmmeeeeeeeeeee!!!.Thank you so much Dewitt.

[@ViewingMyMind]

This sounds like a kink

[@anapatino4243]

You're an amazing teacher! I learned conversion in 10 minutes, and didn't grasp it in my hour and a half class in college..thank you!

[@SoPrissyChrissy]

You're teaching my entire class! Our own professor doesn't do as well as you!!!!! We appreciate you, and the time you take to make each video. We are Finally understanding chemistry. Thank You!!!

[@ironcheesecake5636]

Professor I have to do this in 6th grade :(

[@rhiroyonve7517]

Same

[@yaycocoyay123]

He helped me get through chem honors my junior year and now he's helping me through chem my freshman year of college. Quality stuff.

[@wetkittenpaws7769]

Sir, is your back tired from carrying all these classes?

[@finnleithomczyk5292]

bruh

[@tdewitt451]

i'm rounding 22.526 to 2 significant figures because there are 2 sig figs in 23 km. it's very important to understand how to round with significant figures; you can watch my videos on that topic, starting with "significant figures made easy!"

[@Boxxxxxxxxx]

You inspire me to overcome my irrational fear of chemistry and hate of being educated in general. This fear caused by not only my own negligence to applying myself in high school, but having the type of teachers that make you wonder how they ever received that job in the first place. Sitting in class after class, never truly learning, just storing knowledge that holds an expiration date and will eventually disappear from my memory. Lately, I've learned the importance of why it's so important to understand "WHY" and now I'm asking it mentally all the time. You have confirmed that importance, I believe it will lead to tremendous success. Teaching students is such a big responsibility and privilege because you have the potential to inspire or destroy future world changers. Thank you Tyler. I really appreciate your videos. I'm choosing to stay in my chemistry course this semester because of you.

[@lisabastian6847]

I love how Tyler explains the steps, breaking down the conversions. His instructions are easy to understand. I will be using his videos for all my math classes. Also, I wouldn't say I like conversions, but what I hate more are rounding numbers. Some things I can understand, and they click, but for some reason, I just can't grasp rounding. I will check out Tyler's video to help.

[@joliewilson1016]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. You truly have a gift for teaching and explaining things the way you do. I spent my entire college career avoiding chemistry, and just could not postpone it any longer. I am a registered nurse going back for my psychiatric nurse practitioner degree. I see how you have helped so many people, myself included, further their education. I want to say thank you for taking something so intimidating and making it very much approachable. You are helping so many people reach their career goals so they can in turn help others. Keep making a difference, Tyler. God bless you.

[@amayaquirarte202]

Hey I know this is many years later but I’m going to school to be a registered nurse if you don’t mind helping me out on finding the best path

[@sarasolei598]

I appriciate the time you put to make these videos . I'm a foreigner and I graduated 15 years ago from my high school and almost forgot everything . Anyways i decided to study dental hygiene and chem 1 was the prerequisite for this major . Eventhough I passed my tsi test but having a hard time to learn everything in a different language with different methods of teaching and not having a good professor who only reads his PowerPoints for us which we can do it ourselves too made me decide to quit studying it but your videos opened the door of hope for me and not yo give up . You are making everything simpler Clearer and more understanding. God bless you .thanks thousand times

[@Eebz515]

Its 2020 and your videos are helping me pass my chemistry class! Thank you so much, i was having so much anxiety before i found your page. May God bless you with greatness always!!

[@andrewwest179]

I know I'm WAY LATE to the praising party... But I suffered from brain damage in late 2019... Forgot nearly EVERYTHING I learned in my math classes throughout high school and my most recent math courses. I was so terrified. I want to be a teacher, but what teacher can't remember math!? I recently began attending a new University, and YOU sir, have made things SO GOSH DARN AMAZING!!! Conversion factors hurt my head so bad, I feel like my concussion is coming back. However! You help make it simple and easy to understand!! Thank you, SO MUCH!!!!

[@ellasfunworld22]

FINALLY....now THIS makes sense!!!!! I am being taught Con/Fac by a professor with a PhD....he could not explain it so that I understood WHY I am doing WHAT I am doing!!! Ok, it's official, you're my tutor from now on! Thank you sooooo much for your help, it means a lot to so many of us!!

[@lisamcdermid9674]

The most helpful videos I have come across. I look for your videos to help explain either the background info or step by step instruction to complete an equation. I am so thankful for your videos. You are the best!!!! Thank you!

[@saradimiceli4574]

Tyler, YOU. ARE. AMAZING. I have been dreading this class! I am a 35 year old returning college student with no chemistry experience, and you have made this SO easy to understand the material! Since you came into my life I am an A chemistry student! Keep doing what you do!!

[@EndrChe]

That was what I hated about college: they have no interest in learning. Their singular goal is data input, to create robots who can pass exams and move along. The problem is that the courses are designed specific to the field, so if you do not actually learn the material, actually understand what you are doing, how and why, then when you enter the real world, enter that field, the education becomes meaningless.

[@tdewitt451]

Che Marshall Wow. Well said!

[@plattapus1122]

+Che Marshall you do that in collage? I have to do it as a sophomore! XD lucky! and ya i hate it too.

[@EndrChe]

Abdur Rahman Well, I like me better than anybody else who's running! :)

[@brianlenhart9805]

but it is YOUR education, not theirs. it is your job to seek out that deeper understanding. it's foolish to think you can just show up to class and leave having mastered the material. life doesn't work like that

[@EndrChe]

+Brian Lenhart Well, you see, I am here, because I have the privilege of being able to reach this resource. Not everyone has that privilege, many, many children do not have that privilege, nor the guidance of someone to point them in the direction of life-long learning. Those children are dependent upon their educators to be that guidance, upon people like myself, and people like you, and above all people like Patrick here. It's foolish to assume that everyone has the life course that will lead them to become self-motivated, intrepid, life-long learners.

[@thatgirlwhodidthething5836]

This will help you determine which goes in the numerator and whats the denominator: What ever unit you want to get rid of, you put it in the denominator, and what ever unit you would like to end up with goes in the numerator. So at 4:46 when it was 1ft 96in x -------- = 8ft 12 in The 1 ft went into the numerator because he wanted his answer to be in ft, and put the inches at the bottom because he didnt want his answer in inches. Thats how my Engineering teacher told us. Hope that helped :)

[@apollonmegara8220]

Lol this is what im always searching about which number goes on top and bottom. Thak you so much

[@Sam_2148]

thanks

[@whitewolf152]

Thnak you so much! You made this topic sound so easy, and it made me realise how easy it actaully was instead of overthinking it. Awesome lesson!

[@cindycook1735]

You make learning fun again. Nobody can explain this stuff the way you do. We are so lucky for your help. Thank you so much!

[@Brian_Moser1118]

I am starting from absolute zero chemistry knowledge and i understood this 3 mins in !! this guy is brilliant

[@donnam5733]

Your videos have saved me this semester! THANK YOU for taking the time to teach other people!!! I am so grateful to have found your videos. First time back in school in a long time and taking chemistry, i forgot all the math. SO THANK YOU!!!!!

[@MultiKathy]

Your videos are nice! I am a Physics teacher and I use conversion factors to teach. It's convenient for cancelling units and for them to easily identify 'big' from 'small' units, but understanding conversion without the conversion factors for them is quite refreshing too, Thank you very much. Even your "Hey science teachers -- make it fun" video is nice. Keep up the spirit, you're inspiring us!

[@cupotea04]

Tyler Dewitt is literally carrying me through chemistry this semester. Wish all teachers had this tremendous gift.

[@Drforeverok]

Seriously. Its as if they cant relate at all to struggling students

[@mommaria1968]

As soon as you said: 'I hate conversions...' I was hooked! You the man!

[@kRaf76]

This really catered to my learning style. 9 years later, thanks for the video brotha!

[@anniephung8119]

BLESS YOUR KIND SOULD THANK U SO MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS

[@cassandraramsey3708]

you literally answer every question a student may have or ever wondered

[@pjnick8936]

You rock. I have an A in college algebra but this stuff has thrown me for a loop. I didn't know why until now. I was missing the why in it all. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@lilyfarseer7658]

You earned me a 51 on my test. Just FYI, I was going to bomb out at maybe a 2 without you. You brought my understanding up a lot! Thank you for these videos, all these years later.

[@PublicSpeaking202]

I have watched your other converting unit videos and I am more comfortable with doing it then before. By the time I got to this video I was extremely burnt out BUT I loved that you took the time to explain why this method is helpful and useful. In my Principles of Chemistry it doesn't explain why and when it tells us how it is just to difficult to grasp. So thank you for this video!

[@toasterspoon5000]

My Chem instructor has an accent and talks fast.. so all your videos are great in addition to reading my text books and trying to understand my notes from class lectures.. Thank Tyler for taking the time in making and uploading. Liked and Subed

[@heavendoors2045]

I thank God for you. I am making efforts to get into a University. I have to pass tests to be considered enrolled in their degree program. Thank you for "truly and honestly" teaching throughoughly for my understanding. God bless you Tyler!

[@tarrant888]

Beginning my second semester of college after being a high school dropout warehouse worker for twelve years. Your videos are super helpful especially for my astronomy class. THANK YOU!!

[@tdewitt451]

Hey everyone, I'm here to help. If you have any questions or just want to learn more, click on the link in the description above. It'll take you to a page where you can ask me questions.

[@MashaCiampittiello]

The best thing is like the relationship between the two units - if one is smaller or bigger than the other. Amazing!

[@Sal10305]

God bless youtube and the internet. I can learn so much with as many details in a short period of time.

[@Sanjay-yd1jq]

I took my ptcb exam yesterday and pass. I love videos like these they are a blessing.

[@wakeg40]

Dude THANKYOU! I’m 39 years old and I’m just now understanding why I can cancel things out! Always had this weird mental block!

[@janethuot2359]

I’m so thankful that I’m crying. I’m doing prerequisites and I understood it the first time my instructor explained it. But then now I’m lost. Thank you!!!! ❤️

[@troyturner2002]

Tyler, you do such an amazing job with your videos. You have truly made a connection we me to which I understand chemistry so much more. I must have seen every video of yours in regards to chem, and these really helped pull me thorugh the semester. You have a good thing going, and I hope you remian inspired to teach.

[@TOTA361]

Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!! seriously you saved my life. your explanations were so easy and clear to understand. Nothing or anybody have been able to explain this to me for the past 3 weeks and finally tonight I came across your videos and yes!! i did it!!! Khan Academy needs to get some ideas from you. :)

[@ipodluvr21]

You saved my life. Literally. Thank you so much!!! You're such a great teacher!!!!

[@whitneymitchell1836]

OMG! Tyler just saved my "Chemistry" Life!

[@milagromolina990]

Can't believe this. You are so much better than my professor at explaining this topic. Thank you sooo much. This was really helpful.

[@sharondavis3535]

A comprehensive aprroach..finally that addresses the real problem of not seeing relationships. Great teacher!

[@SurfingEagleTV]

OMG didn't even watch the entire video yet but was compelled to write a comment bc I feel like your speaking directly to me. I need to understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I need to understand what the questions are asking me to do and feel confident that I know what I'm doing. Besides the just mentioned, my main issue is setting up the equation in the way that I'll get the correct answer. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH can't wait to finish watching your videos!

[@metallicaandchimaira]

You teach better than the professor at the university I go to. Thanks a lot man. I understand it now!

[@whiteliketar]

Always always a great teacher. One of the best guys on the Internet.

[@hcadambi1]

Fantastic video!. This is a great tool for my online students. Thanks for sharing for the love for teaching. You will be a great instructor.

[@tesstommasi1317]

You are so helpful!!!!! I'm finding myself coming to you every day after Chemistry class now to see how you explain things.

[@treehugginmama]

Thank you so much for doing this in a conversational way and addressing the logic. I teach adult learners who are also English language learners, and I can't wait to show this to them :)

[@spiritgal33]

I was ripping my hair out over Dimensional analysis, and Converting Units with Conversion, Multiple Coversion Factors, and this video helped so much. Thank you!

[@arzezahcharles]

I love the way you teach. Keep up the good work.

[@heavendoors2045]

I agree!

[@loiterbro]

whats up. just wanna give you a quick shoutout. your videos are very helpful and informative. my teacher uses your videos to give us online assignments in Chem honors. you seem really likable. i wish you luck in whatever career you might persue in the science feild and thanks a lot for all of your help in school

[@alexandriatutores6262]

I hated conversion factors.... until this video. Im looking forward to meet my students with my new sense of reasoning and love for CF!

[@seanwaters9854]

bruh you just saved my whole grade. youre the man.

[@b.o.o1757]

You are great I hope you be my teacher for real , I have a midterm after two hours please all keep your finger crossed n pray for me to pass

[@hortonsstuff6948]

He is teaching the proper way normally teacher teach to pass a test and that is why you don't remember alot even a few weeks after a test

[@arpinemanukyan9458]

Thank you for the detailed explanation, I did it without understanding what I was doing. Now it makes much sense to me. Thank you so much!!!!!!

[@jaylahtate461]

I couldn’t understand anything in my chem 305 college class until i found your page MHMMMMM THANK YOU !!

[@mniiiix]

Love this guy! He helped me pass my Sig Fig test! 😊

[@Ghost572]

This is the video I was waiting for, I asboultely hate following rules of maths without actually understanding the mathmatics of it.

[@eunicemundy6869]

Tyler, you got me through chemistry & I can see that your gonna get me through my nursing entrance exam. I THANK YOU for the simplistic way you make these very difficult subjects sooooo understandable. Don’t know if you believe in God, but to me, your a GODSEND!!!

[@salimwxrld]

Im a freshman in my class and thee way my teacher was explaining this to me made no sense but watching this video opened a lightbulb

[@mallorymarie1141]

Amen! You put that into perspective. I’m currently taking chemistry in college and although I understand it. I often ask why? Or how?? Love this. Thank you

[@chasitymarie7405]

This video was very helpful in helping me understanding conversion factors. I seriously hate them but atleast now it makes sense.

[@malakutwaru7943]

you are making conversions and significant figures so easy to understand! Thank you for doing this!

[@danny198734]

keep making them videos man, i love how you explain every single thing :D

[@ricardog2271]

Thank you so much for this. I was not understanding this at all. Your explanation made all the difference.

[@bongiwemdladla4650]

I salute you mr.u knw how much I gain from just watching your lectures.

[@delyvisana]

Thanks Tyler. You have got it so right. Thank you for telling me why I cancel. It sounds basic but I need to understand why I am doing something. Thank goodness somebody understands we are not robots. Keep up the good work.

[@johnevans3892]

Wish I would have found you at the beginning of my semister. Great job

[@CJ-fh5xq]

Thanks so man. Day 3 in Chemistry 101 in college and Im lost. These videos helped me out so much!!!!!

[@Marceldbd]

You got me the highest grade in my chem class , professor said I was his best student... That's all you Tyler

[@RavingPlaylist]

Such a great teacher! The least I can do is give you a like!

[@meganhenry5795]

Duuuudeee! Thank you Tyler! I'm taking chemistry right now and this is my struggle because I have no idea why I'm converting. My mind blanks halfway through the problem.

[@andreagriffin6834]

crying tonight!!!! this totally helped. thank you so much

[@TheBCSledder]

I wish I had this guy as a teacher! Subscribed!

[@racheljones9644]

I am so glad I found your channel! You are so clear and concise! Thank you so much for making these videos!

[@alyssaallenbaugh9524]

Your videos are so helpful; especially since I forgot my chemistry text book at school but I have a test tomorrow.

[@adaircomer]

I just have to say wow. I am impressed by how well you teach. Are you a teacher? If you aren't, you should be. If you are, you need to be a professor so you can teach teachers how to teach. I am a teacher and I wish I had someone explain all this to me like you did. Sometimes the hardest thing to do as a teacher is to explain the why behind the concept. It is hard because no one taught us why. We were just robots too. We have to sit down and take extra time(that we often don't have due to too much paperwork, etc.) to figure out the why before we teach it. I will be watching the other videos you made that pertain to the math standards I have to teach. I teach sixth grade. Thank you for the help. Believe me, my kids will appreciate it.

[@tdewitt451]

Many, many thanks for your comment. These kind words mean *so* much to me. I wish you and your students all the best.

[@smileeeeees3981]

I've spent way too much time crying over conversion factors thank you so much for helping me understand!

[@AnaPaula1117]

You are amazing!!! Once you understand the material it is sooo much easier to solve it! The way these conversions are taught like robots make zero sense and most people don't know what they are doing. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING AND MAKING PEOPLE THINK AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND! You are amazing!!!

[@nekorinnya7931]

Thanks you so much! It helped me to review for my conversion of units test! I forgot how so I watched this video and it helped me remember how to convert units! Thanks again!

[@blenyohannes9691]

You need to by my college professor! Im taking CHM this semester, and it's been alright but there are a lot of hard topics! Thanks and this made more sense.

[@anag6273]

Thanks that helped a bunch! I love how well you put it, very easy to understand and straight forward!

[@cairoprice8878]

SUPERHELPFUL BRO, ive always just thought through this kinda problem, now my uni require it to be displayed as you do! very helpfull stuff
