And if anyone is interested, his inspiring lecture - with the humor, facts and all that we like to convey in our own lectures - can be viewed on youtube.com. Just look for his name or "last lecture." There are dozens of versions there, so choose what works for your computer. Joan, I too loved the irony of the "last lecture" concept, which was supposed to be a philosophical idea presented by Carnegie Mellon. But Dr. Pausch knew it would indeed be his last lecture. If any of you haven't seen it, I promise you it's not squishy and won't turn you off. The guy had a terrific attitude. My only regret is that he wasn't a psychology professor. He would have done us proud! Beth Benoit Granite State College New Hampshire P.S. A TIPSter asked me how I could put the entire state of New Hampshire as my "address." New Hampshire's Granite State College has 11 different campuses, but at present, I'm teaching all of my courses only online, so I was hard pressed to choose only one of the 11 locations! -----Original Message----- From: Joan Warmbold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 7:32 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: RE: [tips] Randy Paush and his "Last Lecture" Thanks Beth--and appreciate the correction. Still feel quite amazed by the spirit of that man. He's a model for us all. What's particularly intriguing is that it really was his last lecture even though the point of the series at Carnegie Mellon was "IF you had one last lecture to give, what would it be?" Great concept and one we should consider if asked--"If this was the last Introduction to Psychology class you would teach, what would you include? Blessings to the entire Pausch's family.
