Wow! Sounds like the kind of teaching I would have enjoyed when I started studying. The fascination that drove me to computer science is just taken away by the classic way of focussing for too long on one aspect (like algorithms, data structures, etc.). I don't want to study for years and then suddenly go "Aha! Now I see how the puzzle fits together!". I will look into this!

as a professor, couldn't you just make little notes and not write EVERYTHING down as it looks like this? making things interesting also means not just simplifying the lectures, but also speaking open and freely ... As a student I always thought: "well, I also can read - and also my silent reading is faster then your loud reading - so why dont you just stfu and send me the .pdf!?"

anyway, would be great if I could watch you explaining stuff without looking at your head going down every 4 seconds.

What Mr. Schocken said 3:10 wasn't literal but hypothetical in nature. Gods are often conceived as creators. In other words, their approach is: let's say a creator gave us nothing but a NAND gate, how far could we get from there.
