In March I was honored (really!) to get to teach the first of three systematics course for a school that we partner with in S. Asia. I could spend hours telling you how amazing these guys are and how much I believe that the work they are doing will have a lasting impact. Don’t worry, I won’t.
Thanks to COVID, we’ve had to do a lot of things differently over the last year. One pivot is that we’ve countenanced the idea of teaching remotely. Part of the remote teaching regiment for this school is that we send a series of videos to explain or dive more deeply into some of the issues that the course covers.
I’m gonna put the (fourteen!) videos for this course online. Just a special bonus for visiting. Not only did I get to record and edit them, I also got to watch them. I feel fairly confident that I have not intentionally espoused or taught heresy. But I did
This video is an introduction to the course. I had to trim the beginning to remove information that identified the location of the school, so it starts abruptly. If you’re going to skip a video, this is the one, since I’m mostly just introducing textbooks. Boring! Alternatively, you can watch it at 2x speed, which is what I do.
