It was my pleasure!

I think it would be easier to use Feynman's technique of integration to derive the general expression for the integral of x^n e^-ax^2.

I agree with you. The Feynman trick is a really elegant way to solve these integrals. Students that are good at calculus and enjoy math probably would appreciate seeing the integral solved this way. But for other students that don't like math as much, they view it as an extra burden to have to learn a new integration technique in order to get to the answer they want. They would rather just use integration by parts, which they already know, even if it's a little more work. Even though it would be more fun to make videos only for the first category of student, they actually don't need the videos from me!
