What would you have done differently? Post your comments here.
Good summary, but make it clear how the lecture fits/doesn't fit the TSSFFAP keys to a good lecture.
ReplyDeleteNot to hard to guess what instructor this was...
ReplyDeleteYep. A lot more consistent than me....
ReplyDeleteI feel like all I have to do is say the name of the lecture I attended and that should be enough, it’s famous, or at least NSU infamous. I had Dr. Grettler’s, Nat Turner Rebellion (1831) lecture Monday. Need I say more? I will, it’s a blog. Dr. Grettler’s ability to forecast where he is going with material, while reinforcing what he’s already covered, is a great lecture strength of his. To relate the high points to our text he: (1) has a hook, that big ax! (2) Role play…he talks to the thing (3)Energy…yes (4)Visual aids…already covered that one (5)Humor…Mr. Ouchy & Mr. Bite-y. The rebellion story is not a particularly happy story for either side involved. Dr. Grettler does an excellent job with analyzing the event from both sides, through his analogies and storytelling. I might have slept through a history lecture or two in my day, but not this one.
