Default Re: What podcasts do you listen to?

Listened to number 3 yesterday. Very interesting. It's very rare to find a teacher who doesn't have a rough syllabus lined out before they head into class. It's kinda a needs based analysis approach where the students pick what they want to learn. I do the same myself with my Samsung students (company classes) on the first day but I have some ideas for them if they are slow to think of any themselves. Did you find the same with your college students?

Also I like the idea that you will give them a project rather than exams to work on. It's an individual project right? It's great that you have practically free control to teach what is needed rather than a set syllabus pre-arranged by the department. I imagined that this would be rare in a college/university setting.

Anyway very interesting and looking forward to the next one.

Regards,

Lik
