I didn’t expect to re-learn my chemistry from scratch and that’s what I did for the past few days. Even though my chemisty grades 10yrs back was impressive, it only took a few years for me to forget simple things like convalent bonds, the difference between the Sulphide, Sulphite and DiSulphide.
Yup, it only took me 10yrs to forget the basics of chemistry. If it was 10yrs back, I could easily tutor my younger sister in her Science but now, all I get everytime I try to recall the chemical formulas and the result of the compounds of elements chemically combined together was blurry shadowy forms of my old Chemistry Teacher screeching at the top of her lungs.
But at least I manage to remember the basic of the subject and that helps alot. Oh well, the very least, I have the internet as my Dummy Guide. Furthermore my younger sister tends to remember things faster when videos of the experiments/ processes were shown to here on the YouTube.
Perhaps teachers should do video teaching next time.
