Yep. This hold covers nearly everything about the basics of various elements. However, "
basics"
really is the right term for it. This hold rarely goes into any detail about a given element, and in some cases, provides no explanation at all. Because this is only a tutorial, I would not have expected every element to have a properly extensive explanation in every scenario (just look at how long Advanced Concepts is, even with only a handful of elements), but something more filling would have probably given this hold a much better rating.
After looking at tutorials for a long while and putting conclusions together, I have found that the people with the most ambition to create a lengthy tutorial containing many elements are, inevitably, the most likely to fail or make a bad tutorial. That raises the question: Is great ambition most likely to lead to failure? Or do most people with great ambition simply not have the skills and determination necessary to succeed with their DROD-related desires? Advanced Concepts confuses the issue, since its creator had great ambition to create an amazing tutorial, but also had and brought together the skill and determination to complete the project. What are your thoughts? (Preferably not in this thread.)
My rating for this hold is,
4 for fun
1.5 for brains
45/100 approval rating.
