As usual with this author's lectures, reference is made to slides that cannot be seen or they are too far out of focus and can't be read. My browser also shows no available slides to view in synchrony with the video. Also, a common failing in video lectures is the inability to hear questions from the audience.The professor definitely has my attention but there is a bit too much watching and not much student doing. It's like a course I took on a computer program that was presented as powerpoint slides as I sat with my back to my computer rather than a hands-on do this and that course.
