meh, it's not like you can't just go to a university library and read.

I can read this at work though, and as long as I'm frowning at my screen people walking by my office think I'm doing client work. This way, I get paid to read it rather than sitting in a library on my free time.

Even more importantly than that the course notes are structured and in order and they also have prerequisite requirements listed for the next set of classes so its much easier to follow the progression of knowledge that is required for each step in the learning process.

If they added podcasts of lectures this'd be awesome.

I don't know, to me the single most important part of the education I pay for is the access to the minds, the professors. Maybe that is more important in some fields than others, I don't know, but having access to the books and having access to the lecture notes (or what would be FAR better, the lecture audio) aren't even in the same league, IMO.
