Its not the lecture thats valuable. Its everything else. Particularly research opportunities. That’s how you get really solid in your domain. The difference between a student who only took class in the subject and a student who applied those concepts in a lab environment to make contributions is staggering. Its like the difference between someone who watched a video on engine maintenance and someone who has not only watched that but has been rebuilding engines themselves for 2-3 years.
