I quit the Coursera information theory one because it was presented so drably and gave very little high level insight into what was going on. It was essentially just the guy reading from the textbook. It's all the things wrong with traditional teaching with none of the benefits of MOOCs (aside from the forums).

I'm currently working my way through these lectures. The instructor is engaging, and actually explains what it is we're doing and why we ought to care. I'd be on board with working through them together!
