What is really interesting to me at present is the way they chose to make the "The Course" video. All the other courses had a video where the instructor is sort of looking into the camera and directly talking to me. Some even look like they are looking into my soul. But the instructors here chose a more candid way to make a video. The instructors are looking to the right (our left) as if talking to someone else. You can easily say that they are not reading off a prompter so it feels like they are having a conversation with a bunch of students. I really, really liked that. It gave me that feel where I am just being introduced to my faculty and a bunch of us students went into his cabin just to say hi. It feels more of a candid conversation while other videos feel like a one on one interaction. In situations like these the one on one interaction is actually off putting to me. When meeting with a faculty I always find myself comfortable if they are talking to us in a group.
Sorry about my ignorance, but you guys seem much more informed about how this all works.<p>So, what is the schedule for this (and other, similar) course(s)? Is this a full term commitment or a smaller, 5 week, class?
