Ok, I want to do a Chemistry lecture, but I'm being faced with loads of confronting info.
Firstly, my Bio teacher at school is practically the top teacher at TSFX and she's very good, explaining things very clearly.
But could I get a second opinion on the comparative quality of TSFX and NEAP for Chemistry notes? I went to the lectures over the holidays. My mother is a math teacher and she says that TSFX notes for math are hopelessly low grade, have a poor standard of working and that covering a single formula/concept over 10 pages doesn't equate to quality. The internet also states that it's not possible to have such a sustained period of concentration for so long. I went to TSFX (summer school) for math and we only got 5 minutes break in a 3x THREE AND A HALF HOUR LONG lecture. Plus it went overtime. I don't even remember 10% of what was covered and flipping through 700 pages of notes takes more time than flipping through a text book. And the text book explains better. When I got stuck on a question, I was able to use multiple methods of working things out, rather than 'do this', 'learn that.' q.q
Neap was shorter for summer school, but I remember the lectures (english and bio) because they were super engaging and covered the concepts concisely and succintly.

I don't mind the Chemistry Notes; but in my opinion they include too much junk in them, in my opinion to just make the notes bigger (which I think is a detriment).
