Is it possible that students don't feel the same way? For my part, the fact that the courses get down to it and don't over complicate things makes it better.
If the courses were filled with "insights" and other off topic things I'd find myself fast forwarding all the time.
I think this is a prime example of how having no domain knowledge actually can help a lot and free you from years of this-is-how-it's-always-been-done.
- burgerbrain 16y agoIt could be that students don't in fact place the same value in those things. However, in my humble experience, the Khan videos are actually much better at providing those things than most of the lecturers I have ever had. Sure he doesn't go off on tangents about work he did as a grad student in some tenuously related topic two decades ago, but I consider that a win and unrelated to "Depth, insight, introspective"
- pixcavator 16y agoOK, how about a practical example? In all Khan’s lectures on linear algebra find an explanation of how it contributes to calculus.
