     I, for one, am not convinced of a need for

	 9:47 Loops in java, While Loop
	14:25 For Loop
	 7:41 Do..While Loop
	14:51 Nesting of Loop
	 7:05 Infinite Loop
	15:00 Quick Recap of Loops in Java
	11:56 Control statement - break
	 8:35 Continue statement

... 1:29:20 lecture time devoted merely to loops.  (I haven't
watched all eight lessons, but in bouncing around the "For Loop"
video I didn't see any examples of the "for each" forms -- are they
covered?)  If it takes an hour and a half to expound so elementary
a group of concepts, how long will it take to explain overriding,
or overloading, or generics, or lambdas, or synchronization?  Mark
Twain wrote

	Never knew before what eternity was made for. It is
	to give some of us a chance to learn German.

... and it strikes me that so slow-moving a lecture series might
give Java the same reputation as Twain's German!  :)

     I'd suggest that you seek for more efficient ways to transfer
knowledge to your students.  Repetition can be good in that it aids
memorization of important points, but too much repetition -- or too
long-winded a presentation -- will bore the student into an uneasy
slumber which may impede or even prevent the uptake of knowledge.
Polonius tells us that "brevity is the soul of wit," and I suspect
that your lectures might be both wittier and more effective if briefer.
Focus each lecture on the goal ("What is this lesson about?") and strive
to keep the focus sharp.
