Mr. Mays, I really like the video. I enjoyed the music playing in the background. My only suggestions would be to have the calculator bigger so I can see the buttons that are being pressed or to leave the comments on the screen for a longer period of time so I can make a list on my calculator while watching the demonstrations.

Nice video Mr. Mays!
I liked how you showed what to do if we made a common mistake like deleting all the entire list instead of just the numbers. For next time, I would suggest updating the music and making the calculator bigger. It was kind of hard to understand what you were doing with it at some times.

Heya Mr.Mays, that's a pretty cool video :). I would suggest that you make the calculator bigger or the mouse more noticeable so that I can follow along on the calculator easier! :] besides that, the video was great!! =)

Mr Mays,
I think this video will be very helpful to me in the future! I also like the music :) I like how it showed all the possible mistakes that could be made and fixed them. That will be most helful to me! The only thing that I couldn't see very well was exactly what buttons you were pressing. It would be helful to see exactly which ones they were. Other than that, I thought it was great!

Hey Mr. Mays! (Did you see how that rhymed?) Great video, it'll really help me when I delete my lists. Maybe for your next video you could make the calculator a little bigger so that I can see the exact buttons you are pressing. Also, if you could pause just a tiny bit more so that I can follow along and type in my calculator too it would be great.

Hey mr. mays, thanks for posting the video, but i have one question, i know you told us how to do it in class but i dont remember how to do it: if you delete L1 (line 1) how do you get it back?

Mr. Mays,
You need to learn how to type. Haha. :) :) :) Other than that, I really like your video. It's very helpful. Perhaps you should enlarge the calculator so it is more clear and visible.

Thanks for the advice everyone. All those that posted before this one have gotten the extra credit. Look back again for more extra credit chances.

Great video, Mr. Mays. Every time I watch a video though I wish I could hear your voice thoug like in the online textbook set-up video. I suppose that would interfere with the killer soundtrack though.

Delimas, delimas. The only suggestion other than that is to maybe show us how to change the list when graphing if we enter the wrong list in the wrong place. It seems simple but it took me a while to figure out--so maybe it's a personal issue.

One more thing? Will your software allow you to zoom in at all your mouse was hard to see but I understand that software can be limiting.

Mr. Mays said...

Jonathan,
I'm working on the zoom in issue. Hopefully my following videos will be more user friendly.

Mr. Mays

The screen was small and the elevator music bothered me.

It was a good video, but as the others have said, the size of the calculator was small, and at some times it was unclear of what you were doing. Also some better music would be appreciated.
