Feynman actually found that the lectures kind of flopped as a semesters courses. It was too intense, IIRC.

That's correct. Having said that, they're a fantastic refresher for someone who has studied all of this at the high school / university level and wants to get a crash course. Feynmann loved his technical crash courses and these lectures show that he has a mastery of distilling out all of the details and leaving none of the chaff.
