Currently studying for an exam tomorrow, and I now realize why I’m always so sleepy in class: the prof. speaks sooo sloowllyy with pauses - in-between - most words. I can’t keep focused because of that; thankfully, he has narrated powerpoints that I can download and watch… at 3x normal speed. Which is nice because a 37 minute video is now 12 minutes, but goddamn it makes classes so rough.
I’m not watching lectures at all, just download the transcript and read it, much cleaner.
If there’s none provided, even the automatically generated subtitles are alright. The platform my uni is using allows to download them separately from the video lecture.
This is the same reason I hate technical videos and how-tos moving to YouTube. I can skim text really effectively. I don’t wanna watch you do a thing. Tell me how to do it and I’ll be done in half the time.
Yep. That and a 3 min intro followed by a like and smash that button bullcrap before the dude on screen even starts to click through his menus to navigate to the problem he tries to address. By the time he starts on the solve I’ve already found the info elsewhere.
