Basic Skills Suggestion

A while ago the prof suggested that we create a section in the wiki regarding the basic skills where each person would offer something that they know or have a problem with and people would gradually add to it. The idea is to accumulate these basic skills by ourselves through a combined class effort. Anyways since a lot of people seemed to have a problem with writing out things on the wiki or spending that much time in general on the wiki, our group thought of making a youtube channel.

Pros:

- Most people will have a camera/video editing system built in into their computer

- OR most people own a digital camera that can take 5 min clips

- No written explanation required

- Verbal explanation is easier/requires less work

- Visual and verbal explanation go hand in hand

- Easier to show examples/visuals through video

- Allows for more examples to be shown, and someone to talk through it step by step

We propose to make a video study guide for composition of functions that will include a short tutorial video for each of the following topics:

1. A short explanation of the theory behind composition of functions and why it works the way it does (including examples)

2. Step by step process for approaching different types of problems including some helpful tips.

3. Examples worked out from start to finish

4. Suggestions for useful practice problems to work on
