Well I clicked on it in the first place because I thought Ok I'll take a glimpse into an MIT class on arguably one of the most abstruse topics available- electrical engineering and computer science. Well I'm not proud of my take on it. I guess there are any number of very basic reasons I didn't attend MIT, lol.
Ok you asked. I skimmed thru approx half of it. I tried to picture myself in that class. I was put off by the insturctor's resemblance to Captain Kangaroos, as well as his voice. I was trying to envision the extremely high credentials he likely possesses and how that might translate to his ability to successfully teach, and idk, I didn't think he was, shall we say, compelling. And the material presented didn't strike me as like Ooo that makes good sense. And I heard two words I've never heard before- ramify and concatenate- so I looked them up and concluded simpler words would have been more effective and less off-putting.
Ok Edit: I watched alot more of it. I liked how he had the class stand up and introduce themselves to each other and then to verbally work on the on-screen problem @ 50:46, which btw I think I solved but couldnt be sure of the answer due to the disjointedness of the camera on the class vs the picture on the screen.
Another nit pick is for example where data is called attibutes and procedures are called methods...how about calling data, "data" and procedures, "procedures".
Long story short, I could probably get alot out of the course if I was one on one with the professor where there could be give and take. Just sayin
