University of California, Berkeley is offering about 40 hours of Anatomy classes online for free to whoever is interested.These are the live video recordings of real anatomy classes in the Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley.
The website of University of California, Berkeley has this amazing sentence:
" Berkeley's academic departments consistently rank among the top five in the country. The faculty, renowned for both teaching and scholarship, currently includes seven Nobel Laureates"
The institution also has twenty four Nobel Laureates among its alumni.
The above two sentences leave no doubt about the 'renown-ness' of the institution.
India can lay claim on Nine Nobel laureates in 106 years. The list of 9 includes every Nobel prize winner who can somehow be associated with India; those born India and worked abroad, those born abroad and who worked in India.
At this rate India needs roughly 275 years to match the output of one US university. The stated time is on the assumption that that University of California, Berkeley does not produce a single Nobel prize winner in that period, which is as likely as pigs growing wings and starting to fly.
All this suggests to me that the educational system is deeply dysfunctional.
You don't think so ? You want to remind me something ?
Yeah, I know about the IITs and IIMs , and I remember 'Mera Bharath Mahan'. Thanks.
Anyway, enough about the depressing state of Indian educational system.
Here is what you can do sitting in India or studying in any good/bad/wicked medical college in India. If you have a fast internet connection, you can watch the whole anatomy course as conducted in University of California, paying absolutely nothing to anybody.
Whats more, you can even download it and watch it on your comp whenever you like.
What more could you ask for ? Lap it up.
If you have not realized it yet, you no longer have a valid reason to complain about the crappy Anatomy classes in your college.
