United States13 years ago - Really good presentation of an important topic
Excellent course. Watch on the video if you can for the lectures in the middle of the course where many graphs are presented of population dynamics or you will get frustrated.
Apple Podcasts5krisX77777United States13 years ago - Good content bad audio and speaker
The content of this series is very good. But the professor constantly clears his throught and swallows and it comes accross very loud in the recording. It is VERY annoying and makes the netcasts VERY hard to listen too. I realize these are free and classroom lectures first but Yale is supposed to me high end. Would a little post production, speaker preparation and a cough button be totally out of the question? Thanks for the content though it is very good.
