Was watching this and they show many actual texts exchanged. I noticed they showed them as if they were real time such that it shows edits being made, words changed etc. I assume this is real and not some editorial liberty taken which would mean either the cell service provider or the phone itself contains records of the messages including all edits. That’s pretty scary if true, can anyone confirm?
I don’t think the intention was to deliver a cheap shot, or at least I hope not. In many ways I liked MIT’s courses better but the contrast is clear. Ideally in the future everything will be online (at least partially) and students will be guided towards the style that serves them best. I have an in-person degree from a top public school with nearly 40k students and I also have an online cs degree from a mid level public school. I can do without the big lecture halls that have 300+ students. Just let me watch the video on my own schedule. I crave the small discussion sections where I can ask questions, draw on a board, hear other students questions etc...
