But the idea about 'step further by themselves' is original, I didn't think about it in such a way, thank you.<br /><br />2. Yes, it seems like teaching in the Summer School would be easier if we had less topics to study. I think that Chemistry in Summer School is given in a better way: they cover only one topic, the structure of atom. And cover it so good that it is not studied again in Winter School. But we try to squeeze a semester-long course of classical mechanics into 5 lessons. Crazy :)<br /><br />3. I find your lectures great anyway. Even though I haven't visited them, only looked through slides. They were not boring, and it's the key to success in Summer School. If the lecture is too difficult or too monotonous, no one will listen, everybody will sleep. I think you did everything right. I even recommended your slides for preparing for the control work in my class :)NIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601739333990392440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927640615457227941.post-60903322288504765922011-08-21T23:14:59.839+07:002011-08-21T23:14:59.839+07:00Timing is the issue for every lesson.

My own solution when conducting classes in university (i.e. Mechanics) is to thoroughly consider several tasks/problems even when they do not cover every single point of the corresponding theory.<br />Only in such a way you can provide your audience with the basic understanding of the theory principles and they will be (possibly) able to step further by themselves.<br />But anyway Summer School has the overwhelming mass (mess?) of theory that absolutely in no way cannot be thoroughly considered at the lessons. That's a great trouble indeed.<br />I tried to somehow deal with it on my lectures by I cannot say they were indeed useful from the pure academic point of view - the information seemed to be high-concentrated, although sometimes interrupted by fairy tales :)<br /><br />P.M. Umm... well, if my commenting here doesn't correspond to the kind of responces you planned for this diary, just ask me to stop, it's really OK :)Ilya Orlovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187343724611395719noreply@blogger.com
