> My favorite lecture-style classes were ones where the prof (or more often a TA) would post notes for each lecture online. > I've never understood why every lecture-style class doesn't work this way – except for the minimal extra effort required. Because: 1. The effort is not minimal if you want to produce decent _notes_ (not dry slides). 2. What is written black on white will bite you back. Unhappy students will complain loudly to your school about your incompetence for a missing comma in a code snippet. This will have a non-positive impact on your career. So, notes are not posted mostly because of problem 1, but in many environments problem 2 also plays a big role.
