You will like John's free material because he:

1. States learning objectives, gives scaffolding, provides background information that supports subject, and inclueds links to background information when more is needed than can be handled in the current video

2. Provides mildly humorous examples that create salient memories

3. Puts a picture-in-picture of himself talking, which provides additional communication

4. Edits out pauses and "um"s to maintain speech flow with some fun auditory transitions

5. Connects one idea to the next without getting excessively side-tracked or digressing

6. Clearly explains subject-specific vocabulary, provides colloquialisms, and uses metaphors

7. Explains procedures as he is doing them, showing in real-time on the screen, looking toward the topic of discussion

8. Discusses errors, reasons error messages pop-up, and what the messages mean

9. Smiles, emotes, and makes eye-contact

10. Provides visuals and animations to complement abstract ideas

11. Anticipates student questions, asks, and answers them

12. Encourages interaction by commenting 

You might struggle with John because:

1. His handwriting is difficult to read

2. Free videos on youtube are not in a logical order (that's what the paid course is for)
