The Lecturer has a very nice logic to his lecture. And a way he presents the problem and uses some everyday things to illustrate it, brings it closer to the listener.
He might be pausing a bit too often.
Also, the fact that he stands behind this high counter is a bit distancing.

Erasmus+ programme 2014-2020 

This lecture contains nice overview about ERAMUS+ program.  I like there mostly the representation of graphs, clear summary and simple choice of words.

In my opinion it is one of the best presentation of the course of classical mechanics for non-mathematicians. Prof. Leonard Susskind from Stanford University is not only a prominent scientist, but also a very good lecturer.

This is the first lecture of the course "Linear algebra" giving by Prof. Gilbert Strang (MIT). The lecturer starts with the brief introduction to the course, he gives the reference to the textbook and the webpage. All the additional information (syllabus, exercises and so on)  could be received from these sources.

In my opinion this is very nice lecture with clear explanations and worked examples. Maybe this looks really tediously that the lecturer in the old way uses only a blackboard and a piece of chalk, but in my opinion for the basic mathematical courses this is the best way to give a good lecture.

This video is from York University UK. It explains how studying in university is different from studying in highschool. I found this point of view very interesting.
I also liked video's realization. Bright colors, appropriate animations and intuitive thoughts. No boring lecturers.

Economics: Problems in Agricultural Economics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOQOWSpGlks

This video-lecture is an excerpt of a longer lecture, which deals with problems in Agricultural Economics. 

In my opinion this lecture is good for several reasons. Lecturer speaks  clearly, every word is understandable and terminology correct. The tempo of the speech is suitable, lecture is easy to follow. It is also important that the lecturer himself is so „in“ the subject.

I like the graphs that presenter uses. It is more personal approach than using just powerpoint slides. 

Unfortunately the introduction to the lecture is not presented in this video, so I cannot say anything about it. 

Video-lecture of Conservation biology

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kaeyr5-O2eU

This video is  a Crash Course on ecology by taking a look at the growing fields of conservation biology and restoration ecology. This presentations text may look intense, fast and complex, but I think it wraps up perfectly what conservation biology is mainly about.

Enjoy!

The video-lecture is about reproductive cycle of flower plants. Like the second part title said „The Amazing Lives of Plants“, I would also describe the video with word amazing. This video was very useful, informative and representative. I liked that there was used different animation like real plants in greenery and mostly the 3D animation how exactly plants seeds will develop. The educative effects gives the terms appearing on the screen. Therefore the viewer could use listening and visual memory at the same time. The speaker speech was clear and speed sufficient. Pleasant was the background music and sounds, what supported the video content. 

Short video-lecture of viticulture

I was looking for a good lecture for some time. Finally I decided to choose a short introduction to viticulture (grape growing) and climate topic which interests me. The discussion in less than 5 minutes tells us the most problematic issues of grape growing in specific climate and why it is important.

Dr. Tony Shaw, professor of geography (area of climatology) in Brock University

The importance of climate in producing food and human well-being is huge. The adaption of species and cultivar is a second main point when producing high quality food and food stuffs, because it affects the quality of endpoint products. The latter will influence our health and well-being of the world in general. The effect of climate and its changes on grape cultivation is concidered to be the problematic in southern viticultural areas. Because the wide spreading of pests and diseases is setting limits to grape growing and is demanding more and more expenses every day in order to produce marketable crop. In northern areas, the viticultural research is trying to find out the benefits of cool temperatures and their effects on grape growing with selected cultivars. According to recent literature, colder climate is expected to give an advantage for producing high quality grapes and wines.

I was looking a lecture abuot cancer biology. It was the first lecture what i found and started to listen it in very big intrest. But beacause of the lenght of the video I thougt that, this one I`m not posting and looked forward about 5-6 hours for the shorter and mayby not so scientific lecture. And what more I looked, the more I started to like the first one I had found.
I love how the lecturer Prof. Robert Weinberg is starting his lecture to the students. At first he makes a joke, so he would not be so formal, but what I loved most ,was his understandig  who is his audience. He was explainig, what is the porpose of this course and all he is waiting for the students, is that they figure out themself, what is importatnt to take from this lecture. And he did it so positively.
And it was so enjoyable to listen a lecturist who is so fluent and so in to, in the thing he is doing.
But when you think, that this theme is not your favorit to listen, I recomend to skip a part of a lecture and start listening again on 32 min. of video. This is the information we can use our every day life and spread it through.

It is a small lecture for  dog owners how to prevent dental diseases in dogs. Unfortunatelly it is also connected with advertisment what is in connection with charity, but still...
I had an opportunity to take part in the study course of Brook Niemic and to be a guide  when we did a day trip near Otepää as he visited ower university couple of weeks ago and I really enjoied that. 
When I compear this youtube clip with real lecturer and person  then unfortunatelly this clip is not so good.  I know that Brook likes to walk and to use a lot of nonverbal messages  ( body language) during his lectures and in this clip it seems that  he feels a  little bit uncomfortable. Maybe it is also because of advertisement? He's message usually is- brush the teeth! It's the only thing wich helps to prevent problems. It would be really interesting to know what other people would think about this presentation.
