Uni is primarily self-directed learning. You're paying 12k for the few lectures you have, the ability to reach out to your lecturers, access to your universities' career service and, most importantly, for the privilege to sit awful exams or write a very long and painful dissertation that will be examined by professionals who will then tell you just how much your salt is worth.

Self directed shouldn't mean just releasing slides and barely any lectures/videos.
