Mostly videos of lectures in one course here at UNSW, by the award-winning Richard Buckland. Bloody good lecturer, and generally great guy to work with.

(and if you've found this via google, Richard - go on, guess who I am - without stalking

)

It's an introductory course for first-year undergrads - not exactly groundbreaking content - but wow, what a fantastic presentation! When was the last time YOUR lecturer got so excited about the material he was teaching?

Highly entertaining - and full length; if you're new to computer science (and you're interested / have time), you could likely learn quite a lot.

Now if only we could clone him to stand in for a large percentage of the other lecturers here...

we had an E&M (Electricity and magnetism) lecturer who absolutely loved his subject. He was a big guy and spent so much time running around writing things and talking animatedly, that he'd often break a serious sweat. Anyway, one day he is lecturing and he seems really miserable and depressed - we thought someone had shot his wife or something like that. At the end of the lecture, he apologises to us all and says he is rather glum, but he hates that particular bit of E&M, but he has to teach it, but there's no way he will ask an exam question on it so we may as well just forget it. He was ace
