Question

i havent posted in this group for a long while...so i think it's high time i did. so here's a random question:

is and will there ever be a section for those tutorials/notes/etc. ? I understand they are outside the premise of OpenStudy as an interactive site. However, as a reference, they have proven effective and helpful to a lot of people so i think they should still be considered

Answer 1

Yeah! I liked this idea and it is about the time you guys (mods) said you'd look into it. ;D

Answer 2

cool that would rock

Answer 3

plus user-written tutorials, notes and references alike have spread more than expected. i have seen a lot of these in various groups and have garnered warm welcomes and tremendous support. it is tragic to see them closed and lost because the user would like to post a new question or to ask questions for themselves :)

Answer 4

isn't the idea for openstudy to be interactive -one to one free tutoring or a group of people discussing an idea. I think there is enough reference material on the web already by the universities and private sector. Not all the tutorials are without mistakes, people do express some of the mathematical techniques incorrect, incomplete, etc

Answer 5

frankly...i myslef dont know the reason why people do tutorials...i just know it has spread through many users and i am one of the humble followers of the trend ;) it looks cool so i myself did some myself hehe

anyway origins of this trend aside..my point here is not the philosophy or essence of the tutorials,notes, etc. my point here is giving a place to the *correct* tutorials and notes (since you said some had mistakes) i am pretty sure there are some out there..i have seen a lot of awesome and helpful tutorials and notes that are very rare in the net

why? because the users here have experience teaching the learners here..therefore..a lot of those who make the references have experiences in where and how the people here get confused and they get to clarify those in the notes and tutorials. another unique attribute of the openstudy tutorials is like one of @myininaya 's she presented a proof as to why \((a^m)^{1/n} \ne (a^{1/n})^m\) you dont find that easily in the worldwide net.

therefore, i believe it is only right for others to see these masterpieces as wellbecause who knows how many it can help. after all a lot of questions here are also just confusion in methonds (which are discussed in tutorials and notes) but they cant find it in google because they cant describe to google what it is

i hope my message comes across ^_^
