Crash Course

As a student, sometimes the lectures given by your teachers just aren’t enough information for you to fully understand the concept. Crash Course, a webseries on Youtube published by New York Times Bestselling author John Green and his brother Hank Green, contains hundreds of videos explaining the basics of several different subjects like psychology, literature, and history, as well as more specialized subjects like engineering, computer science, and theater. In a format that is easy to interact with, as the videos are separated into playlists by their subject matter and titled by the specific concept the video will be explaining, this resource is as easy for students to use as it is for teachers. These videos take difficult topics and break them down into subsections paired with animations to make it easier for students to compartmentalize the information and commit it to memory. The lack of field jargon used in the videos makes them accessible to beginners and the pace of the videos is perfect for first-time learners. This webseries is unique from other resources on the Internet that attempt to introduce classic academic fields because the source of the information is reputable and trustworthy.
