#22Wow, I took a CS189 course, was Wilensky’s “Artificial Intelligence”.
I have never quite followed the numbering of Berkeley courses. Whereas MIT’s numbers evoke a regular taxonomy, like Library of Congress numbering. Any ontology is eventually broken, I suppose.

In Berkeley EECS is one department and classes are numbered as levels of abstraction (that was the original idea, it kinda works but somewhat derailed). 100 to roughly 140s are EE courses; 150 is CPU design, machine design, embedded systems etc; 160s is systems (security, operating systems, compilers, networking, software engineering); 170s is theory (algorithms, theory of computation, stochastic algorithms, computational biology); 180s is ... I guess misc high-level stuff (graphics, databases, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning). So from 100 to 189 goes from lowest level (semiconductor physics) to highest level.
190s are reserved for university-wide courses like research, experimental courses, deCal (classes offered by undergrad students) etc...

disclaimer: i work for berkeley EECS, but have no association w/these faculty or class. TL;DR: they probably wanted to save some money by not paying our instructional group to do the hosting, and instead are (most likely) paying github for hosting. because they're doing this themselves, it means that things like real, working SSL certs are their responsibility, and most likely were "too hard" or would take "too long"…
thanks for sharing... It's crazy that Berkeley (such an awesome institution) has come to this... The US/CA govt's owe it to the university to increase funding.
I really have my doubts that a university as big as Berkeley has any trouble with the costs of hosting video lectures. And afaik the UC's are also already very well funded
