His lectures as part of the Physics tripos were certainly the best (in terms of engaging, exciting, interesting and actually educating) I remember as an undergrad - at the time the smartness, enthusiasm and slightly unorthodox approach reminded me a bit of what I'd imagine Feynman's teaching to have been like. It's a huge testament that right now now I can see 3 different copies of Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms sitting on 3 different desks in our office. He will be missed :(
