As a retired educator, I was impressed by the poise, friendliness and overall accessible delivery of Professor Barbara Oakley. If I were training teachers, I would suggest that you watch her. The pace of her speech and the well-prepared content and pace are a pleasure to see, especially for non-English speakers. All students need this knowledge!

Comment:

One professor came through loud and clear on the video portions. The other professor was more soft spoken and I had some trouble hearing. Some analogies I had trouble understanding. Some of the wording of questions I felt did not flow well and I had a hard time understanding what was being asked. The word "Chunk" and Chunking distracted me.
