Wew
There is nothing wrong with this

>>8331005
That's the point, there is no issue with OP's professor spending an hour talking about the basis of he course.

It doesn't take an hour to define absolute zero. Would it not be more effective to define it simply and clearly, rather than in a long, drawn out monologue?

I mean, fuck, you can define it in one sentence and then move on. I don't think your previous example is a good analogy at all, considering how basic of an idea absolute zero is, while differential equations have a little more complexity, at least from a definition standpoint.

>>8331017
You have an entire semester to talk about other things in details. Making sure you understand the literal foundation of a major science trumps your inattentiveness and superficial feelings of understanding.

>>8331026
Or, rather, in describing an easy enough to understand foundation in such a slow, rudimentary manner, the professor invites feelings of superficial understanding, only to fuck the student over when the lectures become more complex.

It seems daft to think that it is effective to spend an entire class period on the first page of the book, when I prepared for it by reading the first chapter.

I know it's actually the best way of having good grades and not getting distracted but it still feels bad.

I suppose I'll lough at it 20 years from now

doesn't the name "absolute zero" kinda define itself?

what else are you gonna say for an hour?

no

but its absolute
zero

Ohh lord, don't remind me.

Khan Academy was listed as one of the extra resources for a couple of my courses. I go to all the lectures but the videos/practice questions made me learn faster than when I didn't use it earlier on in the semester.
