How it works

A lecture you fill in, not just watch

  1. 01

    Print the notes

    Each lecture has its own fill-in notes PDF. Key words and numbers are left as numbered blanks.

  2. 02

    Watch and fill in

    As the lecture goes, the pen writes each answer into the notes on screen. Copy it into yours.

  3. 03

    Check and review

    The answer key is on the last page, and each part ends with review questions and worked answers.

Recommended order

Start with Lecture 1 and go in order. Print the notes for a lecture before you start it, keep them next to you while you watch, and do the review questions at the end of each part before moving on.

About the voice

English isn't my first language, so I chose an AI voice to make every explanation clear and easy to follow. The content, notes and teaching are all mine. Thank you for understanding.
