Does anyone agree with me or is it just a me thing?

Hi, I'm not trying to sound rude or be mean, it's just that I really felt lost after this video lesson, floats so I was wondering if anyone else was having the same dificulties.

I think in professor Guil's lessons, he is relying too much on the video demonstration and not enough on explaining the concepts/properties. I mean there are too many "as we can sees", " let's take a look", "we can see that" see being the operative word. Seeing doesn't always mean understanding. I think he should do more to explain verbally what is happening and then give a visual example. In almost all his lessons we are off to the HTML examples and begin writing codes before any real explanation. He covers so many new things and most of them don't get explained properly. example. we learned about overflow to clip text that overflows it's container. Just a while ago we used it to clear a float. I have no idea how that works, only that it works. I wouldn't know where to start if I wanted to use this on my own, writing my own code. Why is overflow with a value of hidden causing the floats to be cleared. What principle is at work here? When we were floating the paragraph we needed to add a width to the paragraph, I have no idea why. Why we couldn't just give it a float property directly, why it wouldn't work like that. Another new property value covered was audit. This is the first time in the entire course that value came up for a property we talked about before. But he said nothing about it. We also used the br tag to clear the float. why the br tag, could it be any other tag as long as it was empty? So unclear. In the text, fonts and list course, we covered strings. In the feedback I mentioned that he brought up empty strings but said nothing about when or how to use it. In the clear fix that he showed us they used an empty string. I still have no idea what the thing does or when to use it except now I know we can use it here but I have absolutely no idea how it works or where else I can use it.

Sorry if I am complaining too much. But I'm a slow learner and sometime you need to accompany a visual aid with a verbal explanation. This isn't to report or complain about anyone. All the treehouse tutors are freaking awesome! Treehouse is still the best online site to learn webdesign. Just wanted to voice a concern I am having and was wondering if anyone else was also having the same prob or if it's just a me thing. Thanks guys. Also if anyone has understood some of things I mentioned above, please can you help me understand better? Thanks guys. Awesome.
