2022-11-04 As a senior academic, I'm thinking, 'Don't we need real classroom learning anymore?' I think. [長年日記]

I am currently taking a classroom lecture at a university, and after all this time, I realize that 'studying was so much fun'.

I can almost hear you saying 'Huh? What are you talking about now?'

However, after working as a researcher for a long time, I have been taking in the necessary knowledge and using whatever tools (calculation methods and techniques) are available to me on a daily basis.

"Systematic study" is given "in a systematic way"

I realize how wonderful (or rather, how beautiful) it is to be able to do this.

"It will be difficult for current college students to appreciate the beauty and splendor of this place..."

I thought that.

Of course, there are still some current college students who can understand "it", but is it "senior people's assumption" that makes me think so?

-----

The problem is that the lectures are given in "English" - of course, as an "engineer who does not love English", I cannot understand the content at all.

Then, it is no longer a matter of giving up on understanding English and countering the lecture content with thorough preparation.

And now I am using "YouTube".

The lectures on "YouTube" are also in English, but I am trying to listen to whatever I can, and write about it, until I somehow "feel like I understand it".

I use the lecture offered by one of the universities in India.

The examples with real-life numbers are practical and really helpful.

I stop the lecture video in the middle of a lecture, put it back, print it out -- I am running them out.

It is definitely the "remote lectures" that have flooded YouTube with such an abundance of courses -- "I think this is also thanks to the Corona disaster.
