@aescling yeah it was not a complement

It’s not the worst thing in the world because he is fairly organized within the structure of each lecture, but it mapa super awkwardly to my ‘new document each class’ style of note-taking

@aescling this professor also clearly is moving from one lecture to another (narrative arcs) but he rarely times the shift to the start/end of a class

@aescling in american shows you generally assume each episode has an internal arc and the end of episodes meets certain narrative expectations (this may be a cliffhanger, but cliffhangers are like, a known narrative thing). When you developed shows airing 1 ep/wk this makes a lot of sense

china's tv culture generally assumes a much faster airing schedule & also bc of censorship stuff its difficult for producers to predict what will actually make it into the final show. So many shows will do stuff like end mid scene and pick up next ep. Narrative arcs are not tied to the episode structure

@aescling if you open this, it is very difficult to unopen it
