So the next set of videos I did went pretty much the same way the first did. The teacher is a little confusing. I do not know it is not really that confusing. I just need to watch them more I guess. I tried to find some homework on the cite but this group of videos did not have any practice problems. Derivatives are weird. They have a clear formula but sometimes getting to that formula is unclear. So I had to watch his videos a few times.  The videos where weird again. This last set links up with the first set so I bet it was all one class. I wish they would have left it that way without splitting it up into eight little videos.

Also, every time he erased one of the black boards I just got memorized by the amount of chalk dust that came off the eraser from the board. I mean really, how was he not coughing the whole time? It was very confusing. And that eraser was huge! It seemed so fun to erase with because almost one stroke would reduce the board to blackness. How could that not be cool?

Nothing much else to say about the video. They are still great and easy to understand. It is nice that the professor wears a microphone. Sometimes the person who operates the camera zooms in to the problems on the board. That makes it a lot easier to see.

I took a look at the problem set but the first problems do not go with the first two sets of videos. I am hoping that the book will help explain things. Or give me other homework problems to do. But the problems sets are probably similar to the tests so I do not know how that will work. Either way some form of homework will get done.

There was one problem at the end of the videos. It was pretty difficult for me to complete. I am not sure if I have gotten the hang of the problems yet. I need to take time to watch the videos again.

I am really hoping that the book has some helpful tips.  I am looking forward to getting it. Reading it might help fill in the gaps in the teachers classes. I do think there are gaps but I am not really that sure. The book should help. But I am probably babbling.
