Rating:
Strengths:
It is a very detailed presentation with statistics and data on auction theory. The presenter does a good job of building and reinforcing concepts, and is obviously an expert and active researcher in the field.
Concerns:
There are no specific instructional objectives, and given the complexity of the information, a substantial background knowledge of the subject will be needed for this to be truly useful. The video requires quite a bit of context and background for students to gain full value.
