Hey everyone! I know this is completely random and does not pertain to Greek life at all, but I wanted to think what other GC members think about a certain style of teaching and its fairness. The style utilizes in-class activities and discussion, which is enjoyable, but because of this, leaves no time for lecture. Therefore, the teacher requires that before every class the students watch an hour long lecture on their own time on what we would learn in class that day. Basically it is a recording of the teachers voice over a few power point slides. These lectures are also what our quizzes and tests are on. As a 3 credit course with a lab, it would be taking up 6+ hours (two hours in lecture, one in lab, one hour for homework for lecture, one hour homework for lab, two hours watching lectures)
Now, my question to any other GCers out there is, do you think this is fair? I'm not going to say which side I am on because it doesn't really matter, but I've heard a few arguments for both sides (Half my class is strongly against this, other half thinks its a great way to learn) and wanted to get an impartial viewpoint. I'm also thinking about maybe writing a paper on the situation for another class (communications) as I think it's a pretty interesting situation since many teachers at my school are now teaching this way!
OT: If this is in the wrong area, please let me know! I just want to get as much feedback as possible
