I felt lost during the lecture today.It might be due to the fact that I reached home around midnight and only got to bed around 0100hrs.I had to wake up 0530 hours to get ready and leave house by 0645 hrs for school.
As expected,theory lectures are more boring.With a mind that was still in dreamland ,the amount of information that was absorbed was at best minimal.Upon more in depth review of the readings later, did I got a better picture of the contents of the lecture.
Personally,I feel that videos are a good way to convey information to students. However videos should be capped at a limit of 1 minute to 2 minutes,so as to retain the audience's attention.If a lengthy video is being shown to an audience who crawls in at 0800hrs,attention would be lost rapidly.
As much as some of our requests are being accommodated by the lecturer,I guess undergraduates like me have to make an effort to do the readings before the lecture so as to understand better during the lecture itself.There is certainly more room for improvement on my part.

Hey Sidney,
ReplyDeleteNo offense.. Just gonna comment on one of the students' blog and I happen to click on yours.
I guess all the important points for the 3 respective theories are in the lecture slides, so you should be able to understand the differences between the 3 theories.
Anyway, just to note off, the videos are actually the same as the readings.. I find it rather a waste of time since we are supposed to read the readings beforehand..

Okay I thought some students rather read than watch the videos. And I know not for sure if students would read before coming to the lecture. So I screen the videos in the lecture. Sorry if you wanted more readings of a different kind on the three theories I can provide you. :)
