They show some things that are normally not even taught and even electrical engineers will appreciate to see this. This video he made about it is very good, and worth watching if you wonder about how electricity propagates from one end of a conductor to the other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AXv49dDQJw

He's done a handful of similar videos, and they're all by far the best explanations of electricity I've ever encountered.

Yes, this video and the one before called "An intuitive approach for understanding electricity" are absolutely great.
