This is funny. He may be the first professor to introduce the stream of consciousness technique into the field of business education.

It's an interesting video. But I wouldn't really like that style of teaching since I like more solid lectures with discussion.

Are you kidding me? His physical gestures alone would drive me absolutely crazy. "BOSTON!"

This is a classic, i wonder if any University officials have gotten a hold of this and have taken action. It is all over U Tube

Just a heads up, this guy got fired shortly after his superiors saw this video.

I'm not suprised that he got fired. Whatever you do, it is best to keep it under wraps and not go around showing it off. That brings me to what we learned about the Victorian era in yesterday's lecture. It seems that people often idealize whatever it is that society condemns. It is notable now that the "gangster" lifestyle, the idea of unearned riches, is something that so many people mimic. Perhaps this is because it is a version of the American dream of overcoming adversity, but it involves "sticking it to The Man."

Taking lecture notes would probably be a lot of fun. In reality I think that class would be entertaining but not a lot of actual learning.

His class would be entertaining, but there's no way I would take his lectures seriously enough to start taking notes.
