You get better education on YouTube. what do we do now that the standard professor trying to teach remote is worse than youtube?
Paying thousands a semester only to end up using all free resources to actually learn.
One of these days we'll fire 90% of them, and then we can all learn from the top 10%.
Youtube, plus Kahn academy, plus openmit

- User23 6y agoUndergrad has been a joke for decades. Try learning differential equations as a 19 year old from a TA that can't speak intelligible English. At least nowadays you can watch an actually informative video on your headphones while you nod along in class.
