I've started many MOOC's but never finished because I couldn't keep up with watching the videos. Not being able to flip back and forth is really limiting. The only courses[1] I've finished had good quality notes and completely depended on them and avoided the lecture videos.

[1]: Roughgarden's Algorithms part I, Programming Languages by Dan Grossman and Machine Learning by Andrew Ng.

Yes! I find Dan Grossman a good teacher, but his extremely slow speaking rythm drove me mad. I had to fast forward his lectures at max speed, and even then I ended up skipping them entirely.

No disrespect meant for Prof. Grossman. His course was very interesting and, as you said, the course notes were so good the videos were completely redundant.
