Presumably there's TAs (and your peers). I honestly think a world where we have fewer performers, making recorded lectures (that can be re-watched, paused etc)

Presumably there's TAs (and your peers). I honestly think a world where we have fewer performers, making recorded lectures (that can be re-watched, paused etc), and more active teachers (TA-like roles) to help guide students would make for a much better university experience. No need for a full professor to clarify, help, or write recommendation letters. Many fantastic researchers are simply terrible at lecturing (and teaching)... Edit: Same goes for high-school. I learned best when struggling to understand courses/working through homework with my peers.
