#2Some of this stuff is like black magic to me! Absolutely brilliant to see this in the public domain.

#4Great Content! but the lectures OMG...
The Lecturer is brutal. the "Umm" rate in his talks is inexcusable for a professional public speaker, which is what I classify any "teacher" as. Makes the lectures impossible for me to listen to.

I would rather listen to someone who knows what they're talking about over someone else who talks sweet.

Umm, I don't think so and those aren't mutually exclusive. Sit in a silent class trying to listen to someone who has no tonal changes in their voice for 1 to 3 straight hours multiple times a week and your interest will die hard and fast.

Can confirm. The reason I'm a self-taught programmer today is that my 101 professor combined a near-perfect monotone with the ability to repeat himself, word for word, if you asked for clarification.

I've had this debate with my academic advisor at CMU.
I'd take a trained speaker–even an actor who doesn't actually know the material he/she's describing–as a primary lecturer any day, as long as I get access to someone who knows what they're talking about in a recitation.

#9Looks like the course got a huge rewrite this year, especially the addition of Ghidra. Very interesting to see that, usually I just recommend RPISEC's course[0] but the Ghidra inclusion is huge. Great stuff.

This is a great question. It would be interesting to run an A/B test on an online course. The treatment gets an actor reading pre-prepared notes, and the control gets a lecturer who actually knows the material.
