Lecture

Is it still College if there are not lectures? The article, “The future of the college,” by Graeme Wood brings an insightful experience into a whiny, authoritative, and forceful educational concept newly devised in the United States. A fresh idea that breaks the traditional norms of varied learning approaches and introduces a single approach – no lectures, straightforward discussion, and mandatory debating. Discarded are the norms of learning about lessons, Minerva is all about ‘experiencing’…

The final four Thursday evening SUST lectures were successful conclusions to a year of interesting, compelling and self-shaping lectures as a part of the SUST 1000/1001 classes. Again, the different backgrounds of the presenters, along with some dynamic presenting styles, kept the lectures engaging and relevant to a variety of aspects of the SUST program and my life. Despite the different topics, I found that all 4 lectures touched upon the idea of communities, as being central to sustainability…

the teachings of the religious authorities can have an effect on one’s attitudes toward work, values attached to money, attitude towards the use of money, rights to the result of the expenses, attitude toward the logics of the market, and so on (Lecture 1/25/2017). For example, the Protestants in America, through the teachings of Calvin in specific, thought highly of a person who works hard and consumes less, because through working diligently, one is praising God’s creations, and through the…

Lecture 1: The Brain: Between the Ears, Behind the Eyes begins with a brief introduction to psychology. The professor, Jeremy Wolfe, explains his definition of “folk psychology” as the psychology people pick up from everyday life without taking an actual psychology course. Furthermore, Professor Wolfe states that this course will be more in depth than just folk psychology. Shortly after, he poses the following question to his class: “What is love?” He explains that love is defined as an emotion,…

it is easy to see what everyone is doing during lecture. During the first few days of lecture, the class could easily be divided into two groups: students who actually listened to the professor’s lecture and those who didn’t. But after the first week of lecture passed, most, if not all, students found the professor difficult to follow and naturally became bored or frustrated with his lectures. Though playing on one’s phone and sleeping during lectures are not commendable (and blatantly rude)…

The lecture is a way to introduce new material, continue discussion of a topic, and sum up course content, as well as present large blocks of complex and confusing information. In this class, the students are introduced to a new topic – “prevention of nosocomial infection”. Therefore, the lecture will be the best passive strategy that can be used in the classroom setting to convey the information. Rationale for Using Lecture: In this class, the lecture will be delivered by highlighting…

BY reading the assigned chapter before class and taking good notes during lecture, I can maximize the group work to help contribute and progress my learning for the topics in class.In what ways is the teaching in this course not supportive of my learning?

Stefani gave a lecture titled: Engineering and Technology: History, Doing the Seemingly Impossible, Helpful Hints for Studying and Using Your Time at Chaffey the Smart Way. Dr. Stefani went on lecture about what he loves about being an Electrical Engineering, briefly. His lecture was actually about the preparation of our journeys to transfer, the Olympics; oddly enough once Dr. Stefani started his lecture it all made sense, Dr. Stefani seemed passionate about helping us grow. He did his lecture…

The anarchism wave (1880-1920) was the first wave of the terrorism. This wave of terrorism had the goals of expanding boundaries and empires. The political philosophy of this wave was for stateless societies (Lecture 10/07). A group that was active in this wave was Narodnaya Volya. This was a group that did not think government was good and essentially targeted only high-level officials within the government. The anti-colonialism wave (1920-1960) was the second…

Most of these kings would be immortalized on stelae or engraved on important monuments, their great deeds recorded forever.
