What.

What the fuck did I just watch

my in-class masturbation levels would rise stiffly

Ohhhh I see what he's trying to do.

Integrate somatic, verbal, and audio learning methods.

This would be way too chaotic for a lot of people.

ive been to high school in india for a while and they do this there, and so no this really works. if you do it right, it doesn't matter how many people there are

This would PISS me off so much that I'd probably drop that class and I went all the way through school and college on As and Bs.

I like this theory on teaching better

Yeah, I feel like it would be good only for teaching people who don't have a full-functioning brain.

>>2347985
Students actively involved and motivated in class? They all look think they are having a fucking BLAST WHILE! AWESOME

Maybe, when you grow up you will understand shit.

those kids are all voluntarily there. so yeah, duh they enjoy it. plus they're gonna be in a highly viewed video. don't be stupid.

This guy is on the right track. there is a lot of room for improvement in the way teachers teach classes.

I'm sure you didn't like eating vegatables either OP.

However the long term benifits out weight evreything else.

This might work very well for some classes - ECE, maybe some humanities and social science classes. I really cannot see how you can make this work for a university level Math class though.

Doesn't mean it can't! Just that I'd like to see it done is all.

Please teacher, teach me like I teach my dog!

So I've been learning about the use of hydrogen as fuel lately, and how the only waste material is H2O. It seems a lot of people are really focusing on making this widely available, but I have a concern. If all car owners were to change to cars that run on hydrogen, wouldn't the dramatic increase of water in the air have some negative consequences? After all, water is one of the major greenhouse gases. I've never seen or heard anyone mention this when talking about hydrogen.

Oh crap. Sorry. That was supposed to be its own thread. Fuck.

>>2348086
I love vegetables, but that has no bearing on this inane teaching method.
>>2348096
Pretty much how I see it.

>>2348112
dood this is fucking retarded
hope is troll

>>2348121

What's retarded about it? The water released by the cars would have to go -somewhere-.

>>2348113

Holy shit. I'm glad my teachers don't act like that.

this "teaching style" is respected only in a situation where the students haven't even hit puberty yet, or are well below the standard intellectually. involved or not, these kids won't understand shit, they will simply be more capable of regurgitating information than if they simply had lecture slides and a textbook and a monotonous teacher. all the responsibilities of learning are on the student, a more motivating teacher can only help so much.

>>2348152
OP here. The class I took with him was a Philosophy class.

He should teach engineering huh? ba dum tss.

>>2348127
It's retarded to worry about water when there is a shitload of H2O that evaporates from the oceans

>>2348127
Also, lrn2 vapor pressure

>>2348155
well in the video you showed there wasn't much critical thinking going on, so if hes teaching philosophy im assuming hes teaching to a test. if he does leave room for critical thinking and analysis, im assuming he gives you "hints" aka the complete answers each time. he should be teaching because he has the energy and confidence, but it would never be an academic course.

I have my PhD and 85k position at one of the biggest companies on the planet. When will this growing up nonsense happen?

Sigh, now I feel like a chump for playing the accomplishments card but for some reason this post irked me.

That was absolutely horrible. They really aren't learning anything at all. It's just one big circle jerk with the teacher.

I would never take a philosophy class, but I would be absolutely ashamed if I was paying tuition for something like that.

That power learning will help them alot when they are working at mcdonalds because they learned no real skills or knowledge in college

I am surprised I didn't see a bunch of macs in there.

>>2348186
we had a quiz to start each class, yes a quiz each class. the friday "quiz" was much larger in point value. yes, the entire class was a "teach to the test" lecture.

This seems like a horrible ideal.

I'm not quite anti-social, but I am not a high-energy person.
So just watching that video was annoying.

Inciting specific responses and interactions between students doesn't seem like you're teaching them anything, just brainwashing them with useless things.

I might not be so critical if I saw this method used for actually teaching something, rather than a demo of how it works.

>doing good
>doing so good
Is it really that hard to grammar good?
Oh wait, that's just the wonderful Americanisation (or 'Americanization' hohoho) of the wonderful language I speak.

>>2348245
What is your PhD in? Just wondering

>>2348245
HA HA HA HA HA HA

He's not actually teaching anything, he's just conducting a closed forum discussion about something the students should have taught themselves before attending class.

The "advanced techniques" video.
He sets up a very specific area of discussion on a topic and tells the students to tell each other what they already know.

I think the problem with this method of teaching is primarily centered around memorizing facts and perhaps learning how to rephrase facts you've been thought.

It's probably absolute shit if you try to teach something on a serious level.

However as long as you use on classes like introduction to philosophy, which is basically a long history lesson on philosophy has evolved, sure it's probably very effective.

bunch of faggots

Is this kindergarten?
