Wikibooks talk:Book of the month/February 2005 voting

The only problem I have had about seeing wikibooks is that they try to be too formal. I understand that we all have to be technical here, but the thing about free education is that sometimes people who don't have lots of of money don't have the best education, thus they gracious pleasure in free items. Whenever i go in to see a new or wikibook in progress people like to show the table of contents. Maybe it's just me but don't people usually talk about the class before they pull out the syllabus. Usually people talk about the what people are going to learn in the class before they bust out the syllabus. After they talk about the class they explain the syllabus. These are just a few of the problems I have noticed with wikibooks.

Another thing I would like to say is that I would like to see more visuals inside of the texts. Having media and visual presentation can help many people so they can grasp better understanding of how things work. You can say that cells are an internal circuit having convential flow while external circuits have electron flow, but none of that is going to make sense without a good visual for the person.

When I look at the contents of a wikibook I don't know what to click on half of the time so I just click anywhere and everywhere. This is not a good thing for people trying to learn. It's like giving a person a textbook with all the chapters in a random order and telling them to learn about OHMs law before they know what an electron is. I wouldn't say it's the best thing to do. I really would like to see more wikibooks with an introduction to what the whole subject is about and the contents included. Sadly I didn't see this much in the Physics book and I really would like to learn more physics.- Cyberman
