Customer Reviews
Dull
It's very factual but you feel yourself drifting off. The energy level is so low it's almost like listening to a job interview.
Missing content.
Great teaching and a bonus thats its video rather than audio like most other psychology podcasts. Its a real shame that he uses so much video content and slides in his lectures as they aren't shown on the podcast and leaves you feeling that you've missed a huge chunk of the content. At the start each podcast there is a note saying that some of the video/slide content won't be shown on but as he shows so much it is a real let down for anyone watching at home. Jeremy wolfs podcasts at MIT are much better even though they are audio as you feel you benefit from listening as much as you would being present in the class.
