omg my professor's lectures and labs are so dry and even though I ask him to re-explain stuff I still didn't get it. my friend in the class found this vid and sent it to me and you've explained it 100% better than my professor ever did! Before I felt deflated about this quiz that we have Monday and now i'm feeling a bit more confident after watching this video. thank you soooo much
I have a couple of problems with this video. Don't get me wrong, It is a good video. However, this instructor failed to show her students how to see the cleavage in the hornblende. While the camera person was holding the hornblende up to the camera for a closeup, (s)jh got a beautiful angle where we could see the light reflecting off of the parallel cleavage surfaces. My second problem with the video is that she did not show one actual example of 6 directions of cleavage. The prominent mineral she used was garnet. Unfortunately, garnet does not have cleavage. What we were seeing with that garnet crystal was crystal form. That is the way that crystal grew. It's not the way it broke. The hexagonal crystals she showed them were also not examples of 6 directions of cleavage. IF those hexagonal shapes were the result of cleavage, then they would have represented only three directions, not six. Additionally, if those minerals are the ones I think that they are, then they also do not actually have cleavage. What we are seeing in those minerals is crystal form, once again. Again, aside from the two rather minor weaknesses, this is a very good video. I am going to link to it for an online lab I am putting together because I like the way this presents cleavage and fracture better than the videos that go with my lab manual.
Glenn ... Thanks for the comments. I too wish we had been able to do a better job demonstrating things in this video. We were lucky to have the specimens we had to work with in our high school classroom. I'm glad it sounds like you find some value in the video, and that it promotes true excitement in geoscience education.
@@AidaAwadI under stand that. I think that we all have to make some compromises when it comes to teaching these things. We all of to contend with limited collection to use as examples. I just couldn't help picking at some nits. As I stated. I think that on the whole you did a very good job on this video and I am gong to add it to my course. I'm being forced to move my lab online because the current crisis. This is something that I have resisted for years because of the difficulty in properly teaching mineral properties without actually having the minerals in front of the students. So, I greatly appreciate the quality of your videos and the way you actually recorded them as part of your class. I think that they will go a long way in making up for the fact that I can't actually meet with my students currently.

this awesome lecture
i really like it....very simplifying
This is great. I wish I had teachers like this when I was in school.
Excellent !!!
very helpful tnx a lot
really it was helpful.
Thanks, this video was helpful and easy enough to help a middle schooler understand
Thank u..frm india
Great video thank you
Very very helpful thanks!!
This was very helpful. Thank you so much.
hello, love the video could you show a clearer picture of the textbook page shown at 13:39 Thanks!!
very nice video
Can i get a copy of the lab manual please?

@@AidaAwad thank you ma'am
lol i'm definitely going to need that 'good luck' for my quiz tomorrow ^.^
hi
Can you give me the lecture in your hands in the picture. Or how can I get it. Reply please

excellent!
Is this college or high school?
What book is that you are using for reference?
Mam your class is so helpful.Thankyou so much
Glad you are finding it useful!

12:39 dats wat she said
are you lebanese??
whhhhata legend
Garnets have a crystal form of a dodecahedron.....but they 100% fracture....otherwise very informative.
hi!:) Are all minerals break in the same way?

@@AidaAwad I, like another commenter, am curious about something though. What lab manual are your students using in your video?
@@glennblaylock5197 Good luck! We're teaching online too! Interesting challenges to be sure! Hang in there!
