I'm 100% on the side of lectures are outdated and dumb. Almost all of the classes that had lectures manipulated the class somehow into attending either by making attendance part of the grade, making the lecture slides not available online, or having vague slides/a mix of actual notes and the slides. For the most part lectures are a waste of time if you can get the slides at home, but for some they learn better through it.
