Re: [MS_AccessPros] Unit Circle video uses Access to do the drawing

Hi Crystal,

I didn't know Access could be used for drawing, so I watched your video
thinking it would tell me. It didn't, and the video was tedious and
annoyed me at many points. Here is my hatchet job on it to get you back!

5.30 A rainbow is always on the opposite side of you from the sun, and
if you are under water you wouldn't see it anyway.

8.11 Up to now the grid represented 1 unit. Suddenly every 2 gridlines
are 1 unit. No explanation of why this is allowed.

9.16 Pattern to calculate pi should not be shown without explaining how
it was derived, which couldn't be done with stick men anyway.

10.40 "Pi is the Greek letter for p. Perimeter starts with a p". But
what is the Greek word for perimeter? Does it also start with a p?

10.50 "The area inside a circle can be calculated using pi r squared".
Either prove it or don't mention it.

12.40 "Radian is the SI unit for measuring angles". What the hell is an
SI unit? You might at least have said that a radian is 180/pi degrees.

13.06 "This point is zero". Why? Zero what units?

16.24 The thankful end of a hard-to-follow trip visiting every eighth
round the circle.

18.55 "45 degrees or pi over four" should say "45 degrees or pi over
four radians".

23.46 "Tangent. This is the change in y over the change in x". What
change? It's just just y over x.

25.25 Aha! "The slope of the line is the change in y over the change in
x". Why didn't you say that before? Shouldn't that be the change in the
slope?

30.10 The thankful end of another hard-to-follow trip round the circle
without having a reason for doing it.

31.26 At last something useful, calculating the height of a tree. If
you'd said this was possible at the beginning I might have been more
interested in plowing through the rest of it!

35.20 At last what I was waiting for: "The graphics for this were drawn
by Microsoft Access". But not how.

Regards,
Dave W
