This is a great example of how awesome teaching yourself using the Internet can be. If you read and understood that in 30 minutes then you learned it in about one quarter of the time we spent covering this stuff in my discrete math class--and I'm supposedly going to a really good college.
- omaranto 16y agoI don't see why you mention your college is good seemingly surprised it took longer than 30 minutes to cover this: wouldn't you expect a good college to have good teachers and wouldn't you expect a good teacher to go slowly enough that all or most students understand?
- nitrogen 16y agoI suspect there is an optimum speed at which the greatest number of students are able to understand, and I suspect that it isn't the slowest speed possible. In late elementary and junior high school I recall getting in trouble for being ahead of the class, particularly in computer-related classes and assignments. A faster pace would've allowed students like me to benefit from the class, but may have left slower students behind.
- astrofinch 16y agoWell I'd figure that a good college would have smart students and with smart students a teacher could go fast. In any case, even if the teachers are making the right move by going slowly, that doesn't change the fact that teaching yourself using the internet is awesome for the justification that I gave.
