MIT OCW 4.A21 (2006, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) teaches exposure by repetition: photograph the same scene at many aperture, shutter and white-balance settings while noting each, compare them on screen, and select the best 5 of 20; it treats light as one of three qualities of a good photograph. A thin teaching routine without worked decision examples.
