Wish my professors were as lucid as this guy.

The last example it's very nice... very tricky

@ianrerb This is so silly. He's a great teacher. He gets the material across; if you can understand more in class then you can spend your time out of class doing other things.

The thing you really want is for everyone to become as "efficient" as you, which is unreasonable. If you understand material faster than he lectures, then go buy a textbook; you will learn as fast as you can read. There's a reason many people prefer teachers to books; otherwise we would have no need for teachers.

@LordWargus I really don't know what to say about your post except that I am currently a student, and that I am not in disagreement that the professor is an excellent professor. I am assuming that you do not attend a US university (Cuality vs. Quality) and may be unaware that the cost of a single semester class at one of these schools can be around $4,000 USD. I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to want more substance in a course.

@ianrerb I agree with thomasverbeke22, this teacher is good because he makes sure that everyone is following him: By your way of speaking it seems you were a student long ago and already forgot about it.

In class most teachers make the mistake of, "given the caliber of students", assuming everybody is following and they can go fast, what happens is that the class lecture ends and students understood 50% with luck, thats a bad teacher because no one learned. Cuality over Cuantity

[Liaomiao]

Anyone know which lecture talked about exponential shifts please?

[ianrerb]

@thomasverbeke22 I never said he was not a good teacher. I said that I expected the course to move faster. Can you explain why you think the course should not move any faster? I don't find your current argument of "you are wrong" to be very compelling.

[thomasverbeke22]

@ianrerb you are wrong; this is exactly why he is a good teacher;

This Prof. seems to be one of the best (amazingly) free educators on the net.
