One other aspect of this is modern production regarding mixing and mastering. Music is pushed so far to the edge that drums are basically cut off at the high end and the whole thing sounds mushy.

My wife, who knows nothing about any of this beyond enjoying music, asked me one evening while we were listening to "Fat Bottomed Girls" why the drums sound so good compared to other music that we listen to. It's noticeable.

he instructor may have a very good understanding of the subject material but no idea as to how to convey it. Many of my instructors could barely speak english.

Yep. When I took an advanced calculus course, my instructors idea of teaching/lecturing was to read from the book in a (highly accented) monotone.

And no matter how fast you can type, research shows again and again that you retain information differently when you hand write vs type

Yeah, I noticed this when I went back to school at age 60. Everyone else in the class was using their laptops. I had brought mine, but it wasn't worth it. I needed to have the info go through my brain to my arm and hand to help me retain the info.
