@ThunderAppeal For an undergraduate course I reckon lectures about computing especially when everything is being introduce in the first few lectures can be boring and tiring for some so his jumpiness can be a helpful technique to keep students from falling asleep or drifting off.

Basically everyone learns differently.

I'm sure he's a very knowledgeable teacher but his jumpiness becomes tiresome. I find it bizarre that so many children find him entertaining.

He's mannerisms are really distracting if anything else, so far he hasnt delved in to the guts of how things work. He's given nice little examples but there hasnt been a concentration in to the mechanics of things. Maybe in the next videos he has.
