Developing a curriculum using the videos

[morleyrf]

I am a newbie and newly obsessed with trying to learn the art and science of diagnostic techniques as well as develop some level of mechanical aptitude. I would like to work on the videos in a methodical way that would building on the previous learnings. I searched for a rough curriculum, but could not find one in the postings. So I am proposing one here. The objective is to start with the basics and build from there. I am leaving the more complicated techniques until later.

If anyone has better suggestions (because I pretty much don’t know what I am talking about), I would love to hear them
