...1. Record. During the lecture, record in the main column as many meaningful facts and ideas as you can. Write legibly. 2. Reduce. As soon after as possible, summarize these ideas and facts concisely in the Recall Column. Summarizing clarifies meanings and relationships, reinforces continuity, and strengthens memory. Also, it is a way of preparing for examinations gradually and well ahead of time. 3. Recite. Now cover the column, using only your jottings in the Recall Column as cues or "flags" to help you recall, say over facts and ideas of the lecture as fully as you can, not mechanically, but in your own words and with as much appreciation of the meaning as you can. Then, uncovering your notes, verify what you have said. This procedure helps to transfer the facts and ideas of your long term memory. 4. Reflect. Reflective students distill their opinions from their notes. They make such opinions the starting point for their own musings upon the subjects they are studying. Such musings aid them in making sense out of their courses and academic experiences by finding relationships among them. Reflective students continually label and index their experiences and ideas, put them into structures, outlines, summaries, and frames of reference. They rearrange and file them. Best of all, they have an eye for the vital-for the essential. Unless ideas are placed in categories, unless they are taken up from time to time for re-examination, they will become inert and soon forgotten...

...mentioned, teaches no class. Class of Professor of Divinity. The duty imposed upon the Professor of Divinity is very arduous. In addition to the Lectures which ne has to deliver, he was in the practice of hearing the numerous Discourses which the Church requires before young men can be admitted to probationary trials. Pre viously to the appointment of Dr. Chalmers as joint Professor with Dr. Ritchie, the whole of the Discourses were heard by the Professor of Theology ; and some conception of the arduousness of the task may be formed from the following account given in the Appendix to the Returns from the University of Edinburgh. The number of Students enrolled each Session, has for these five years past been above 200. The Law of the Church impera tively prescribes that each of them shall deliver five Discourses before being taken on trials for licence. It is obvious, therefore, from this, taken in conjunction with the period during which continuance at the Divinity Hall is necessary, that each Student must deliver at least one Discourse, and many of them two or more in one and the same Session. This necessa rily interfered very much with the lecturing department, the number of Lectures delivered each Session amounting to 40, and the Professor, from the causes stated, finding it impos sible to enlarge the number. Dr. Ritchie's Lectures explained and illustrated the topics, both direct and collateral, suggested by the successive articles contained in the Apostles' Creed ; and the...

...What is the lecture method of teaching? In: Educational Methods and Theories, Learning Theories, General Educational Development (GED) [Edit categories] Answer: It is the practice of having the teacher, or lecturer, at the front of the classroom talking to students. This is seen as one-way communication, since the lecturer is the only one speaking. An effective use of this is a short talk to provide students with the background information they need to do the work. What are the steps in lecture method? In: Uncategorized [Edit categories] Answer: student analysis lesson planning formulation of the lesson guide prepration for presenting the lecture presentation of the lecture testing follow-up What is lecture method? In: Learning Theories [Edit categories] Answer: The lecture method is a teaching method, in fact the teaching method most often found in universities today. It bases itself upon the transmissive teaching model, in brief terms that knowledge is an object that can be transferred from the teacher to the learner. Practically it implies a lecturer holding a lecture for a group of people. A strength is that it is possible to educate large number of people at once, thereby lowering costs. A limitation is that it yields less deep knowledge compared to other teaching methods such as case-based learning. (Chaplin 2009, White et al. 2009, Grunwald & Hartman 2010).

...ENG 101E J.Mullen Living in Wonderland Kaloyan Kolev The life of a college student has given me the great opportunity to observe student behavior. Usually I meet quite ordinary students. Some of them are interested in studying, others in fashion, music or computer games. However, I have also met students who are intriguingly different - to say the least. Recently I received the divine inspiration that there are four main types of abnormal students that are either of extraterrestrial origin or are the product of some kind of evil sorcery: The Zealot, The Casper, The Bear and The Challenger. The Zealot takes classes more seriously than he should. He believes that if he doesn’t get an “A” on every single test, he will be crucified, God himself will come down to earth to unleash the Holy Armageddon upon him and the gates of Heaven will forever stay closed for his soul. The Zealot always comes to class looking as if wild wolves have been chasing him to school. Looking like he has seen the headless horseman, he quickly makes his way to his desk and immediately opens his books and starts reading. For him every second counts when it comes to studying. During a class, the Zealot is always listening...

...In order to achieve my academic goals, I need to first of all be present at every lecture and listen attentively during lectures. If there is anything that I am not able to grasp during lectures, I will ask questions. Lectures, I will resolve to rereading my notes to enhance my understanding of my studies. Also, I am ready to join study groups that will broaden my understanding from a broader perspective. I will start with my first lectures or course. I am going to write out my priorities and goals and steps to take to achieve those goals and attach my plans or actions to achieving each and every goal and paste it by my study desk, laptop and in my agenda planner so I don’t lose concentration and focus. My dad, mum, brothers and sisters have always been a mentor and friends till date. They have been there for me since day one to always keep me on truck and to make sure I am on the right truck to achieving my goals. My boss ant work and my lecturers and student advisor are also very important people in my academic pursuit who help me identify my strength and areas that they feel I need to improve on in order to achieve my academic success. I look to these people for honest opinions and constructive criticisms which will help me identify my strengths and how to better them as well as my weaknesses and how to improve on them to become strengths. Because I want to achieve success by the end of my academic year, I have set myself to reach the accomplishment of...

...The core of this article is about the negative impacts that lecture absenteeism can have on a student’s performance throughout the course as well as the motivation that students have for actually attending lectures. The first topic the author starts with is the effect that lecture absenteeism has on academic performance within the student body. The authors site studies that are less certain about the link between lecture absenteeism and poor academic performance and studies that shows that this bond is stronger in minorities (Moore, Armstong, & Pearson, 2008). After this, they go on to discuss how studies show how poor attendance can affect performance in university. It seems that the relationship between academic performance and lecture absenteeism pretty much explains itself (Moore, Armstong, & Pearson, 2008). However, this particular study shows that the student can gain knowledge by attending lectures that you normally would not receive from your text book. The study involved mainly undergraduate students in their early twenties, all in their third year and all were business students. The study consisted of 230 students. After evaluating all 230 students, they were able to come up with three different factors that show student motivation for being absent from lecture (Moore, Armstong, & Pearson, 2008). The first level is low student motivation. Some examples of this level are too tired to attend, bad weather, watching TV. Mid-level motivation is considered moderate motivation...
