I didn't attend MIT, but the existence of OCW is exactly what made me wince a bit reading this. This guy really experienced professors refusing to record lectures to encourage attendance? That doesn't track with MIT being a pioneer among US universities in recording lectures and making them freely available, not just for their own students, but for anyone anywhere with an Internet connection. I used OCW extensively when going back to school for grad school, even though it was not at MIT. Those resources are terrific and invaluable.
