Michael Wesch of Kansas State University produced this video commentary on classroom learning. I found it interesting. I haven’t been in a “cattle-call hall” since my undergraduate years. I don’t miss these large classrooms at all. They’re cold and impersonal.

I do enjoy teaching online and in our friendly small classrooms at HPU! Twenty-four students seems like the right size for a graduate class.

Multiple choice exams are fine, when used in moderation. But objective questions cannot measure mastery of a subject, especially when the textbook publisher’s test bank is available through Google.

I give writing assignments because managers must develop excellent written communication skills. The Internet has not changed that requirement.
