I tried this course and found it nearly unwatchable due to the editing. Rapid cuts jump around topics and rooms and days without any transitions and without any logical continuity either. Shiller frequently references things he probably said 5 minutes ago in the actual lecture, but won’t say for 10 more videos in the Coursera edit.

I cannot find anyone else talking about this in the reviews; they are all glowing. Wondering if I’m crazy, if Coursera is glitching just for me, or if no one actually watched the videos.



Here's the 2011 version of Shiller's lecture on Financial Markets on YouTube, which doesn't have this problem: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8FB14A2200B87185


Thank you!
