> Good teaching ressources are the exception rather than the norm
I have to disagree here. There has never been a time in history where it has been easier to access high quality educational materials. See, for instance, MIT OpenCourseWare. Many other great universities have similar programs (Stanford, Berkeley). That, combined with the countless people putting out educational content on platforms like YouTube and Coursera, means that it’s basically possible for anyone with an internet connection to learn from some of the world’s best teachers.
- WastingMyTime89 5y agoMy experience at a university comparable to Stanford and Berkeley is that lectures perfectly conform to what I said: good ones are the exception rather than the norm. Most lectures are mostly useless as a form of teaching material outside of offering you the ability to ask the question you have to a specialist and the syllabus hopefully pointing you towards good books while telling you which chapters you can skip if you just want a sound but basic overview of a subject. I would much rather read than listen or watch something. I think the problem remains the same nowadays that it was before when people in large cities had access to good learning material through their public libraries: knowing which are the good resources amongst all that is available.
