Maybe that is your view of what the top-notch universities are. To me, these universities are places to get a BETTER education. Could you learn the material without a professor? Sure. However, you cannot compare MIT to a vocational school. The material you learn in the higher end courses are not the same. Vocational schools do not go as deep into the material/theory as a university. That is the difference. A car mechanic is not the same as a Honda design engineer.

for a lecturer he depends on his notes a lot...see how he always glances at them? he is reading his notes..

I have the proof right here in this video. This is no more difficult than vocational education. The fact of the matter is these schools just tend to be more selective with requirements to enter so it appears to the public that the material is harder.I have done my own research. It's not. Are the professors better at getting the material to the students? Yes. And that is the real benefit of these types of schools.The school is tough, but any GOOD student could do the work.

From what I've seen, high-end Universities such as MIT have much better professors than other universities, including mine. Difficulty of courses should not be how you judge the quality of a university. Any university can make their courses hard, however without good professors students all fail or come out knowing nothing. Better professors -> better students -> better graduates. Keep in mind this the FIRST day of an INTRO course. Get an EE degree, then come back and say the material is easy.

This is the way things work, simple processes making complex machines.

this is awesome. Thanks to MIT for publishing this.

Wow, this is how it feels to study in MIT. Thannks for giving me a feel. But your sound & video is a bit blur. Please focus the cam on the lecture board and please add simulation & animation. Thanks for broadcasting
