    I haven't seen these specific videos before, but I've used similar tutorial websites for help with math. I find this type of learning to be very useful, because you can pause a video and go at your own pace to learn the material.

    I have seen the Khan videos before, but not for math help. I watched them to help study for my AP Bio exam this year. I like this type of learning because it is sometimes helpful to hear a difficult concept explained in a different way. I also agree with Zach that it is good to be able to go at your own pace.

    I have never seen a Khan Academy video before and I found them extremely useful in describing a central tendency. They defined average in a new way for me that was descriptive and easy to understand. If all of their videos have the same qualities then they could be an excellent resource.

    I have never used or seen a Khan video before. I do think these types of videos will be useful because the man talking was very easy to understand and I liked how I could pause the video if I missed something or go back and listen to certain parts again.

    I have used the Khan videos before many times for math because he is very good at making the material easier to understand. With the videos one can simply pause, rewind, and go over material they did not understand. I think these videos are helpful to a person who learns visually and will be very helpful throughout this course.

    I have heard of the Khan Academy videos before but never seen one. I think they could definitely be useful because they could offer a different method of teaching and a way to learn at home instead of just at school.

    I have not seen the Khan Academy videos, but I know of them from a recent news report on the website's success.
    I think the videos will be very useful during the year because I am a very visual learner. It will be really helpful for me to go back and replay a lesson if there is a part that I do not understand!

    I have not ever seen a Khan Video before, much like the rest of the students here, and I thought that this was much more useful than the other video, as it takes time to explain what is going on. The voice was oddly soothing.
