WTF Is the point of lectures? I have had great success self studying because I can pause the video or replay it if I didn't understand something. I can make flashcards right away as I go through it. I can take a break if I start zoning out or feeling tired. I can stop the video and attempt a given problem before the teacher, which consolidates my learning.

So, wtf is the point of sitting there for hours listening to a lecturer and zoning out? Formal education is not supported by learning psychology in any way whatsoever.
