Agreed, I would be very interested in studying how variable speed playback effects things. It's important to note that the video that people review before the midterm isn't just the latest video, but is comprehensive. Check out this heatmap of video watching versus video publishing: http://www.cs.usask.ca/~cab938/video.png It shows that the two weeks before the midterm (starting feb 16 on the x axis) there is a large amount of review style watching and right after the midterm this stops until the final where it picks up again. We see different patterns with courses that have multiple points of evaluation in them.
