Watching UC Berkeley Lectures

These webcasts from the campus of the University of California at Berkeley are not studio productions. They are archived videos that were recorded during actual classroom sessions.  This is good in some ways. For example, you are privileged to enjoy the spontaneity of a real classroom setting. But on the other hand, you will also find periods of time devoted to class announcements and other "housekeeping" chores.
