Notes on Viewing Berkeley Lectures

These webcasts from the campus of the University of California at Berkeley are not studio-quality productions. They are archived videos that were recorded during actual classroom sessions.  This is good in some ways. For example, you are privileged to enjoy the spontaneity of a real classroom setting. But on the other hand, you will also find periods of time devoted to class announcements and other "housekeeping" chores.

To get the most from these videos, you should view them at least twice. The first time, look for the highlights of the lecture and take superficial notes. After looking over your notes, and perhaps Googling some of the terms and expressions that are new to you, watch the lecture a second time. This time, take more detailed notes, and be prepared to start/stop and back up the video.

There is probably little gained by watching the video more than two or three times.
