  • Mehram Sahami's (Stanford CS Lecturer, Googler) end-of-quarter closing speech during the last lecture. The inspirational part starts around the 1:30 mark. It's kind of like the CS version of Robin Williams in Dead Poet's Society but not quite as theatrical. Hopefully this is covered under fair use.

    Sahami is LEGEND! His CS106A classes kick-started my programming career, and I've never even met him in person!
    You're awesome dude! (Thought I'd say thank you the american way ther :)

    I'm a math professor, and I once received a negative student eval with the comment ``He thinks math is the most important subject in the world." I took it as a compliment.

    Damn, Stanford was such a different place back in the day - looked way more fulfilling, and the community + professors seemed really welcoming.
    Stanford in 2022 looks completely different - cold, unforgiving, isolating, and very lacking in trust.

    If you would look at the date this was uploaded you would see that this video happened in 2006. A lot of schools used chalk back then.

      Currently attending Stanford and I can tell you for sure that they still use chalk boards (at least for math classes).

    They do slide. You start writing with all the "top ones" pulled down, then when you fill them up, you push the top chalkboard up, revealing a fresh new chalkboard.

    Useless ! Just a regular prof. rambling on. Nothing special about it. He is just waving his arms in the air as if he is trying to swim
