Re: Professor livestreams entire Computer Science course in 12 hours
#2Yet all my instructors tell me that I shouldn't check out from the entire semester even if I'm capable of getting it all done in a week.
Too many old professors think I'm a slacker cause I can do all their assigned work in a week at the start as opposed to cramming in the last week because I was lazy.
College instructors need to just not care more...

Cramming decreases your ability to recall material.
It mostly commits it to a variant of short term memory.

#4* 'entire Computer Science course' could do with qualifying.
* its four livestreams, on four different days.
* (No offence intended of course but) it doesn't seem to be someone/a channel of particular note.
So, alternative title: 'A course on the theory of computation (video)'

#5While the actual videos seem to be ok, the title here is very misleading.
1. As far as I can tell, the author is a professor in the sense "he's good at teaching", but not as in "college/university professor". It matters not because of credentialism (again, quality seems ok), but because it misleads on the intentions of the channel: The channel is very prolific (1+ video per day) and clearly going for maximized views (meme-filled thumbnails with big captions), complete with donations, Patreon, and merch store (you can buy a t-shirt). Nothing wrong with it, but if an institution allows that kind of moonlighting, I'm interested!
2. The course is a playlist with 4 long livestream videos (2h, 3h, 3h, 4h). Still impressive, but it's not what the title is trying to imply.
Overall, it's hard not to call clickbait.

I'm generally too smart for my instructors. They are all either teaching by-the-book or actively trying to hold me back from going as fast as I'm capable of. The best courses are the ones that allow you to swap a midterm grade for any missed homework. In all the internships I had, developers solved problems by searching up the error message and trying suggested solutions one-by-one until something worked. Why don't schools use this extremely efficient method when teaching math and science?!?

The submitter is actually the channel author [1]. All submission are of the form "Professor does incredible thing" [2]. You're clearly good at CS. You don't need to do that, please stop.

Sounds like you two should stop wasting time with easy courses. If you are as brilliant as you say, there is no way you can't get permission to skip prerequisites or transfer out.

> professor in the sense "he's good at teaching", but not as in "college/university professor"
"Professor" is often independent of "good at teaching," but he seems to be an assistant professor at West Point.
