<p>I follow what is being taught in some of Harvard’s introductory math and science course. The intro CS course, CS50x (materials available online), has been taught by lecturer David Malan for several years and has become one of Harvard’s most popular courses. Some intro physics courses are taught by lecturer David Morin, whose books on mechanics and electricity and magnetism may be good for well-prepared physics majors.</p>
<p>I don’t think having instructors who are not researchers is a bad thing, but it does call into question the hiring practices and structure of research universities.</p>
