The video was well organized. I found myself having some trouble due to the lack of verbal instruction. This video had a great example, but I would have enjoyed to hear some more verbal description. The music was a little distracting as well.

This video definitely works for people who are familiar with cars. But I had some difficultly really knowing what was going on because there was no narration to the instruction. I think you filmed it well, but it would be perfect if you incorporated some slides in between each task to explain what was happening.

I liked how you showed the students doing the actual work on the car and how computers come into play, but I had some trouble reading the print.

Hi Dan,

I think your video is very cool with the music and the computer instruction. However, I do agree with your peers that verbal instruction or written slides to supply sufficient details for student learning. Good job!

This video seems good for people who know about cars. This coould be a good hook for students as they see what they will be doing in the class. I liked the music selection for the video. Good job

The video was organized well but there wasnt much verbal instruction. I think slow verbal instruction for everystep is necassary so the students can grasp the material better.

Dan,

I feel this is definitely a good video for the students that are into cars and in your autoshop. Again like everybody else said, maybe pause and have a description or instruction on what was going on.

I was really interested in this topic because I am learning about tinkering with cars on my own as a hobby, but even with that prior knowledge I felt a little lost without some narration to explain what was going on and why. However, for a true auto student, I bet they would have an easier time understanding than I did.

I do think the music was a little overpowering though, but that might just be an issue of personal taste.

I think it great you filmed in actual shop, it gives the feel of what you are trying to relay to your watchers. The few sentences supplied are perfectly time with the actions that occuring. The overall speed of the movie is perfect. My complaints, the music needs working on, perhaps Guns-N-Roses or Metallic and turn it down a little. I have to be totally consistent with all my comments which I left with others; I personally like narration.

I understood your video but I think it was only because I'm familiar with cars. Some verabl instructions would be necessary for this video when showing it to individuals who don't know about cars. The images that were shown on the computer were also a little blurry.

Your music was a little distracting and I could picture younger students being more interested in the music than the actual subject matter. The video was very interesting and enjoyed learning about an alignment check, but I don't think I would be able to perform something like this without a more educated person in the field talking me through the procedure. I liked the video otherwise.

This was a very good video other than the quality of the image. It was a little hard to read at some points.
