Day 1 of Calc I Review

I decided to use MIT opencourseware to review calc I, ocw.mit.edu. Its very well organized into 5 sections,
  1. Differentiation
  2. Applications of Differentiation
  3. The Definite Integral and its Applications
  4. Techniques of Integration
  5. Exploring the Infinite
and then divided into further sections,



Each session comes with video lectures, detailed pdf notes, and sample problems with solutions. I did't expect to use the videos as I didn't like other video tutorials I tried for other classes (like on Youtube, not opencourseware), but these are pretty great. Its just like being in the classroom, you can even see the students in the class on full screen mode. I don't know if I'll watch every video because its just a quick review for me but I finished sessions 1-3 and I'm paused on 4. I love that I can pause the classroom while I go make a snack or whatever and come back to it right where we left off. 
I wish I could do that in real life! :)
