Why is this info being given a second time?

I've been taking Objective C courses for three days and now I get the same info a second time.

Reading through the comments in the earlier lessons, many students were clearly confused by the original presentation by Douglass Turner. I'm guessing they decided to expand on these points of confusion because it's easier than remaking the entire course.

I personally think Amit should have refilmed the whole lesson because students seem to have an easier time grasping these concepts with his teaching style. But with the addition of Swift, and many new students focusing on that as their first language, maybe they don't feel like it's worth the investment.
