Talk:Ideas in Geometry/Instructive examples/Section 2.1

I think your explanation is very good. I really liked how you broke the solution down into steps. The only problem that I have with your solution is that it is kind of frustrating that the picture is so large and that you have to scroll different directions to see what comes next. It would be better if the image were shrunk.

I liked your explanation as well. It was very easy to follow along with you showing the first step and then explaining it with great clarity. I was right there with you the whole time and I think any student that is capable of understanding this material could learn it the way you have showed here. I do agree that the image is quite large and, at times, difficult to scroll through. Not that big of an issue though, good work.

I noticed the link stated that this problem was 2.1.6. However, this is not the problem for 2.1.6. This is the problem for 2.1.7. Nevertheless, your explanation for the problem is very detailed and it was easy to follow along. In my opinion, explaining the meaning of the symbols will strengthen your explanation. This will make the explanation more clear for non- geometry students.

Comment by Tim McCormick:

Like everyone has pretty much mentioned above, I think your explanation is very clear and available to both those who know geometry and those who have no background at all. Most students will likely have some background in geometry, and will therefore be able to recognize some of the key terms. One thing that might affect the understand is the most recent format that was uploaded. Its very detailed, which is great, but it is kind of tough to read. It is definitely readable, but some parts are difficult to read at times, so that might be something to look into. Overall, the explanation is very good and should make it understandable to anyone who tries to comprehend why the problem works the way it does.

2.1.6
I think you did a good job with this problem. Your answer is well thought out, but the only thing I might suggest is making your explanation a little more concise ad a little less wordy. Also, you might want to upload a version that is easier to read. Other than that, great job! --Christine Yu 06:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
