Teaching and Learning Styles

   Learning Styles
(radical if not green
& not so cool as us)
 
Hampshire
Burlington
Sarah Lawrence
Bennington
Swarthmore
don't give grades
and so I want to
know how do you
make them do
what you want?
 
Mazlow's Pyramid
Freitag's Triangle
Gordian's Knot:
all on the exam;
be able to identify
and show their
significance.
 
Take this down!
 
Talk in class is worth
3 percent of your final
grade (oh no ...)
 
Double space and
ignore  the Oxford
Comma Rule. 12 point
NYTimes font required. 
 
3 cuts is  all you get
without an excuse
from nurse;  daily
quizzes will  ensure  
you keep up with the
reading in a timely
manner.
 
Smart phones are not
permitted in class and
keep your hands on the
desk at all times and don't
be Googling info for you
essay on Hemingway.
 
This syllabus constitutes
a contract between me
& you & if  you got handicaps
& disabilities making  it
difficult  to meet these
stipulations see me
after class
or else. 
 
Tirelessly working to
free the slaves.
 
Because I say so and I got
a grade-gun. How else would
you do what I ask you to do
and why?

Surely you've seen this, Lewis.. Can't tell you how envious I am. 6 faculty. Start up from old scratch.
Delighted for you.
