You're confusing professors and admins. All professors that I know from undergrad (one of the best unis in the country for tech), recorded all the lectures, sessions and discussions and made all the class material online, including reading material, because they were of the opinion that education should be available in all ways possible. If you didn't feel comfortable concentrating in a class, you could do it later, because that is what effective education is.
Admins on the other hand are just a bunch of insecure pricks who know that the only reason they have a job is the bloated organizations they themselves created, which can only be supported as long as students keep paying that ridiculous tuitions.
- WalterBright 6y agoI wish when I went to college I'd had the foresight to simply record the lectures on cassette tapes.
- perl4ever 6y agoThere was somebody who used to run ads in print magazines, when cassette tapes were a thing, touting the world's best lecturers on a variety of topics. I think this may be them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Courses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Courses https://web.archive.org/web/20090714005930/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/16/news/16iht-videduc.html https://web.archive.org/web/20090714005930/http://www.nytime... Looks like they have adjusted, but used to provide videotapes and cassettes.
- willcipriano 6y agoI've been listening to TTC for decades. Prior to MIT and others opening up courses online it was the only way someone like myself could get access to anything like that. In the office, Michael Scott is asked to give a lecture and brings a boombox with the same music the TTC lectures start off with. Its a hilarious in joke if you get the reference.
