Fantastic. Taught like a true professor

[@Doriesep6622]

3/4 of the way through the sound starts messing up. It is unintelligible. Can it be fixed NYC?

[@barbarajohnson1442]

At about 59 minutes, the audio gets in a loop, broken, skipping? The captions still work

[@coreolis7]

yes, after 59 minutes, you can only listen by reading the captions

[@rogeriotruman]

audio is bad!! could you fix it? Please!

[@kevinburnsjr1087]

Bad meaning good! That’s a dope ass beat.

HOW THE HELL DID YOU UPLOAD THIS?!

[@jackbailey7037]

Did not the British construct and let happen the original slavery? Consult the texts.

[@lilitifrock]

How could you upload a vid of more than 10 minutes! I thought it was impossible!

[@barsmars]

I wish it was just 30 seconds. Sat through this insufferable boredom waiting to hear the music which never came.

If was observing this professor's class to give him an evaluation on his teaching, my critique would have two main points: 1. Slow down. You are talking too fast. 2. Stop talking like most acedemics write. The whole lecture needs to be rewritten to eliminate most of the words. Just determine what main points you want.to make, then organize your lecture so you focus on supporting your main point with evidence. And make your lecture esay to understand. Moby Dick is a difficult book to understand. Your students do not then need a scattershot lecture that is also difficult to understand. Acedemic writers sometime think it is cute to make their literary analysis essays difficult to understand to make themselves look smart. It looks like you decided to lecture that way. I have a masters degree in literature, have read this novel, and I had a lot of trouble following your points. I really learned nothing valuable from this lecture.

Open-mindedness and remaining teachable are a part of life-long student hood. Manage your expectations
