teachers/professors should just play these videos during their classes to avoid confusing their students.

I work in the super computer industry as a Mechanical Engineer, and having to explain differences in Neutral, Ground, and Bonding to other engineers is something that happens often.

@VinnieBlackLodge That's just it isn't it? Why pay for college when there are people online teaching the same material for free. I too learned 95% of what I know on my own. Tech College being online makes no sense, unless maybe it was programming/software. Tech requires hands-on. Even the big fancy engineering degrees are suffering from a serious lack of any practical hands-on skills and applications. I tutor students and interns in engineering, and I have to spend significant time teaching them basics, stuff they should have know already. Stuff I knew long before graduating from any sort of program, things I learned in high school.

Both solid floors with overhead cooling, and raised floors are still very common. Raised floors are possibly more likely used in high performance supercomputing centers though. Raised floors are more common for liquid cooled systems too.

I am a license instructor and have taught college classes and students for more than 10years. But some teachers are not good at their jobs, and in some cases, the students ARE better off just watching a Good series of videos on youtube by Better professors. Or, like this, videos on specific topics students are struggling with. A good instructor should absolutely teach themselves.

"Leraning is by doing, under supervision by a master or teacher." that is not true at all. That is a way learning can happen, but that is not the definition of learning. Many people, such as myself, are very good at learning many things through self-study, and on other things I prefer a structured course by someone who knows how to explain it better than i can figure it out. But lacking access to a teacher and course, I will eventually figure it out myself, but it will take much longer sometimes is all.

" Since "visuals" appeared, leaning and understanding degraded." You're connecting the wrong things. Education has improved vastly for people who want to learn. Education has degraded due to a number of Other unrelated factors.

@abdullahimohamed1704 A smart person learns more on their own and from trial and error (hands on practice), than they'll ever learn in college. College has it's value, but that value in modern times has been diluted/eroded.

@lifescience-kkkkkggggg If they didn't confuse us, I would have to reteach as many students as I do.
