Empire State College Upper Level Math

[Kaz]

Mathematics are more of the difficult courses to teach online. ... Anyone else agree/disagree?

The courses I took at Chadron were audio recordings of the in-class lectures with PDFs of the notes from the whiteboard. The ones I took at U. of Idaho were full videos of the regular in-class lectures, one provided the notes and one didn't. IMO they weren't any easier or harder than the butt-in-seat upper-level math classes I took at Rutgers. Honestly the only difference I've ever noticed from class to class is whether the professor is a researcher first or a teacher first. Every class I had that was "taught" by a research-first mathematician paled in comparison to the ones taught by professors who obviously were teaching because they loved to teach. I'm sure that isn't a math thing though and applies to every subject.
