...the different organizations. Below is a discussion of these models and how they can be implemented in an academic institution. Lecture: It is an oral presentation intended to present information or teach people about a particular subject. The criticisms of lectures are often summarized by a quote generally misattributed to Mark Twain: “College is a place where a professor’s lecture notes go straight to the students’ lecture notes, without passing through the brains of either.” Critics point out that lecturing is mainly a one-way method of communication that does not involve significant audience participation, often contrasted to active learning. This type of communication is linked to the linear model that is an early communication model created by Shannon and Weaver which visualizes the transfer of information as an act being done to the receiver by the sender. The linear model views communication as a one-way or linear process in which the speaker speaks and the listener listens. It consists of the sender encoding a message and channeling it to the receiver in the presence of noise. Thus in academics a lecturer is the sender and the students are the receivers. It is an efficient, cheap way of conveying a topic to a large student body as it can be delivered as a weekly series designed to provide the basic framework of a course. The lecture is particularly suitable for introducing a subject to ensure that all students have the necessary understanding to learn a subject...

...The Review on the Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Randolph Frederick "Randy" Pausch (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pausch was the author or co-author of five books and over 70 articles. Pausch died from pancreatic cancer at his family's home in Chesapeake, Virginia on July 25, 2008, at the age of 47. The last lecture by Randy Pausch to the 400 students in Carneige Mellon University mainly focuses on how to live the prosperous life. It specifically talks about the childhood dreams and how to achieve those dreams and become successful in life. Following are the things that I have learned from the lecture. To achieve success in life we need to have dreams; be it a childhood dream or the dreams that we dream when we grow up but we always need to have dreams. And then we should work towards achieving those dreams. And when we work towards achieving those dreams we can never say that those dreams can be achieved at one go. We are going to face lot of failure and obstacles blocking our way. And then when we experience failure and other problems, complaining and wining is never going to solve our problem. Instead we should never think that it's the end of our dream and we should consider those failure as the inspiration to work harder and the we should keep on trying because everything is possible in life. Now to have...

...Robert B. Burnish The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch The Last Lecture is a New York Times best-selling publication co-authored by Randy Pausch, a lecturer of computer research, human-computer interaction, and conceive at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Jeffrey Zaslow of the Wall Street Journal. The publication was born out of a lecture Pausch provided in September 2007, Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams. (Dann, 14-19) The publication has often been in evaluation with Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie, a publication on courses the scribe wise from his staining school professor. When inquired about his information of the publication, Pausch answered that he had not ever read that publication, and commented that he "didn’t understand there was a dying-professor part at the bookstore” with his usual sardonic wit. Speculation that the publication would be turned into a video was turned down by Pausch himself. Pausch consigned his "Last Lecture", titled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” at Carnegie Mellon on September 18, 2007. This converse was modeled after an ongoing sequence of addresses where peak academics are inquired to believe profoundly about what matters to them, and then give a hypothetical "final talk," i.e., "what wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?" (Dann, 14-19) A month before giving the address, Pausch had obtained a prognosis that the pancreatic cancer, with which...

...The Use of Guided Notes for Active Engagement during Teacher-Directed Lectures By Anna Jessica B. Pantujan Holy Cross of Davao College, Sta. Ana Ave., Davao City Introduction It has been said that students learn by doing. It follows that if one increases the doing, the result is an increase in learning (Blackwell & McLaughlin, 2005). Research indicates that student achievement improves when teachers provide opportunities for active engagement (Konrad, Joseph & Eveleigh, 2009). The major educational goals of student understanding of content and application of skills are commonly pursued via lecture in classroom settings. Students are held accountable for obtaining information from the lectures, and performance is evaluated on class exams and quizzes. Therefore, students should take thorough notes during lectures so they can refer to the content at a later time (Boyle, 2001). Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001) identify note taking as one of the research based strategies for increasing student achievement. Despite the importance of this behavior, however, students are often poor note takers (Austin, Lee & Carr, 2004). Since note-taking can be a difficult task for some students, the use of guided notes can give students a standard set of notes for future references (e.g., tests and quizzes) as well as eliminate the possible frustration, lack of motivation, and off-task behaviors that may exist due to poor note-taking skills (Anderson, Yilmaz &...

...I loved Randy Pausch’s video The Last Lecture because he presented his lecture with so much enthusiasm, courage, and humility by making us understand how important his thoughts for how we should all live our lives each day and how we should always treat other people in our lives with respect, gratitude and kindness no matter what. I was very nervous while I was taking notes from both of the videos we had to view for the assignment. I waited until my youngest son went to school so that I would be able to stay-focused on the information that I needed to write notes from and have no distractions so my full attention would be only on the assignment. I watched Randy Pausch’s video several times, his compassionate tone and his humbleness helped me...

...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...

...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...

...school. Students should devote a considerable amount of time reviewing information discussed during classroom lectures. It is very difficult remembering specific details from classroom lectures without good notes. These note taking strategies will help you to take better notes: ▪ Make clear and accurate notes Make sure to take legible and accurate notes since it is not uncommon to forget key details discussed in class after it has ended. Frequently, students comprehend the teacher's lecture, so they'll neglect to jot down specific details only to forget them later. Students who keep accurate notes can review them later to fully grasp key concepts during personal study time. Additionally, since during classroom lectures teachers frequently cover many topics, effective notes enable students to concentrate on specific topics. ▪ Come to class prepared Students properly prepared for class usually take better notes. Proper preparation includes completing assigned reading prior to class and reviewing notes from previous lectures. Students who do this can ask questions about confusing concepts and be prepared for new topics. ▪ Compare your notes To ensure your notes are as accurate and detailed as possible, compare them with the notes of other students after class is over. This is useful because your colleagues will frequently write down lecture details that you forgot or missed. This strategy will make classroom notes more thorough and precise. ...
