Student Reactions“I also have wanted to share with you how much better the internet
statistics class is. I took it one or two semesters ago and it was much more difficult. I love the fact that I can watch the video and I have the power point right there. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this class so that we could learn the material better.” …Beth Fanning

“I just wanted to let you know I did the review along with the video and that it’s a great help when I can't make it to class, I will be in the early class for the test today.”…Michael Stroud
“I love this video. What a great idea, I'm glad you found a way to do it! Thanks”…Susan Pierce
“Just wanted to give some feedback on your streamline video in class; it was great and it really helped prepare me for the test last week. Thank you so much for doing that for our class. You give really good instructions and if I wasn’t bogged down with full time work I would enjoy your class. Just wanted to let ya know how much that helped me. I really hope you will give another review on video for the next test. Thanks a million!”…Veronica Jett (Hogg)
“Finally, something worth watching on youtube.”…Linda Kent
“Thanks so much for posting the review video! It didn't work on my home computer, but it has been having some problems with the site anyway... the video really helped, I know I can be in class and I think I get it but when I go home and try to work the problems I draw a blank! It helped b/c I can go back and look at what we did... is there anyway maybe you could post all of them???” …Jennifer Barrentine
“I am having a hard time with question 6 on homework 8. Is there anyway
you could make a short video about it? I am going out of town later this week, so I am trying to get my homework done early. Thank You!! The videos for this lesson were great!”…Rhiannon Boyd

Tips for a good video1. If you are using documents, set the font to at
least 28 point
2. If you are writing while you are lecturing use a black sharpie and practice writing large enough so it is legible in the viewing window.
3. Make sure the mic is close to you so it picks up your voice clearly
4. While a practiced lecture will give you more confidence, the students appreciate seeing a human being – so don’t let a few slight mess ups keep you from posting the stream –
