Is this a full fee paid course for on campus students? Because if it is, I would be miffed and feel short changed to be told to watch youtube lectures on my own time. I value face to face time and interactivity with my professor or lecturer. If this is a heavily discounted course due to the crippled way it is taught then I have no issue. From the syllabus: CS144 is taught using a combination of lectures and videos. In previous years, it was entirely “flipped”; i.e. all the lecture material was taught by videos. This year things are different and we are going to mix things up: Some weeks, including the first week, will be based on recorded videos that you are required to watch in your own time. We will call these Video Weeks. Other weeks, including the second week, are based entirely on in-class lectures, and you don’t need to watch any videos. We will call these Lecture-only Weeks. So why mix things up? We are teaching this way because we have found that some of the material (e.g. the basic principles you learn in week 1) are most efficiently learned by watching videos - the concepts are fairly simple and the material is descriptive; a video is a more efficient use of your time. Other material, such as when you learn about congestion control in week 4, is best learned in person, interactively in a lecture. |

Those that don't need the piece of paper can learn for free. Who can complain about that!
