This is a fantastic approach to educate not only the
students but also beginners to understand the subject
reality. Also, the viewer can correct or suggest
modification to the speaker/lecturer to revisit some grey
areas wherein it may be a confusing statement or approach.
Anyway, it is great, pl introduce more and more such
facilities and allow others to learn educate/update their
curriculum.
Thanks all the best
