I took Lebesgue integration and some pretty high powered group theory classes in the 1989s and am retaking them now, and I have to say the presentation now is much better. I think having Terrence Tao blog about how stuff really works makes a difference, at least for lower level grad classes. :) and trying to present groups as the widely useful abstractions they are instead of just a cute self contained theory makes a difference.

Interesting to note we haven’t got a text book for these classes just lecture notes and a number of text books recommended if we want additional presentations.
