I enrolled in this course. Overall it's fabulous. However, this part might sound like she's explaining things the way she expect to be understood, succinct but highly specific and abstracted. In other words lack of a narrative for non-professionals i.e., students. To improve, she cloud imagine as she's one of the student who already understand the topic and making an explanation back to her. Drawing inspiration from AI Machine Learning techniques, I call it Recursive Learning approach.
In conventional approach, the lecturer assume the students' intelligence are at the same level as his. However the lecturer spent much more time working on the topic, therefore the understanding is convoluted over time. The setting of a lecture session limits that time dimension. An analogy would be the lecturer is required to convey an 3D reality onto a 2D canvas for the student to see. It is feasible, but requires the lecture the skill of constructing a perspective form the eyes of a student. 😊 Another analogy would be, think what would Jesus do.❤
I feel like she's using abstractions to explain the abstract. For me it's quite difficult to actually extract anything meaningful let alone useful, out of this.
wittkower is very good.
it is very disengaging as the narrator keeps looking at her notes to explain the concept. feels like she isn't well versed with what she is saying herself.
