Ever so often these courses, without video lectures, from prestigious universities come up here and gets upvoted to the front page. There will be some discussion by people who attended these courses in those universities.
What is the point of posting and upvoting these course pages here? The most charitable answer I can find is that it informs that there exists such a body of knowledge. The uncharitable one is that it lets people gloat about their alma maters here in the comments.
I personally avoid video lectures and prefer the written materials. I get that video works better for some people, but I do not understand how this can be the case: non interactive video is so much worse than text and diagrams.

Any other explanations, anyone?
