Visuals
So many of these great lectures would be not only enhanced, but revealed by the visuals. The material is tough. I have reluctantly stopped several out of frustration. I rated three, because the speakers are excellent and compelling, and I want to follow them, but without the visuals, which I am sure they spent a lot of time thinking about, it is tough.
