This post, about the passing of Dr. Karel Liem, Henry Bryant Bigelow Professor of Ichthyology, Curator of Ichthyology at Harvard University, made an interesting comparison between his life and that of Dr. Randy Pausch, whose "Last Lecture" you'll be watching for class, if you haven't already done so. It's a beautiful memorial to a highly personable professor, and it illustrates, I think, why learning in person is still at an advantage over purely online teaching.
