For help: Theta joins are joins based on a particular condition. It was not discussed in this course but here prof is talking as though we are fully aware of this concept.
one of the worst lecture video I have ever seen in my life.............. You haven't solved any of the hard problems, and just given everything to the students to figure by themselves. you are teaching a practical subject here , without even using any software to show how it is actually done........ just presentation slides and nothing useful these courses should not be compulsory by the colleges as it may waste time when you just have to watch these videos in order to just know that what topics might come in the NPTEL exam.........
I must admit that though they are very knowledgeable,but there is some problem in teaching style (very non intuitive, like reading school book).i went through many nptel lectures.most of them have this common problem.they are good only for exam,not for practical purposes
