Hi all:
I took over a History and Systems class (Yes, Chris, that is the
title) in the middle of last semester on an emergency basis. I
followed the syllabus of the original instructor. It seemed to
follow a common format. The initial 3/4 of the semester was
lecture and the last 1/4 was student presentations of classic
studies. I could see that most students hated having to sit
through the presentations. In addition, the memory load of names
and facts was overwhelming for many students.
I will need to teach the class again this semester and I have
been searching for a different approach on the STP and SHoP sites
without much luck. Syllabi are either very similar to the one I
used or are very individual, having been developed over many years.
My idea is that I want students participating from the beginning
(whether doing presentations or involved in projects) to avoid
the 12 weeks of lecture/3 weeks of presentations approach.
If you know of such an approach then I would be grateful if you
could share it with me.
Ken
