I've been in a few classes that use interactive white boards / projectors, etc. -- they just get in the way of learning. -- it's much easier to follow a lecture when the proff is writing as he's speaking. -- good old chalkboard ftw.

This explains why I didn't got to MIT....

[agapitoflores001]

Very good one. Excellent reference.

[arestes]

at the end he says something about imaginary numbers to rescue the value of that integral calculated naively ...which turns out to be negative... what did he mean?? anyone knows?

@frozenyetimaster Let me refer you to this video:

Lec 8 | MIT 5.95J Teaching College-Level Science and Engineering, Spring 2009

^ YouTube that.

It has everything that is needed to be said.

@EgoSumIndigentia

You can't show a class of sixty students a graph on your laptop monitor -.-

[EgoSumIndigentia]

@frozenyetimaster You just use a computer then. -.-

Nothing beats chalkboard for explaining concepts.

[frozenyetimaster]

@GRNoam

What do you think they do with the interactive white board? I respect your opinion but I find that the "Smart Board" makes the class more interesting so you don't get distracted and it has many features that can help you understand; I'd like to see someone watch a movie on a black board or display a graph, chart, diagram etc.

wow i am glad that i go to a university where they give the notes after the class because i would not be able to copy ALL of that.

i would get flustered and throw my pencil.
