A New Pedagogy?
Sep 7, 2018 · 1 min read
-i am the teacher — -you are the student
— you shall show up for class and while there: —
-you should have no tech device in front of you
— this course has no redeeming social value — (it will solve none of the world’s very pressing problems)
— the only problem this course will solve is your ignorance of the subject matter
— this course is about learning: not about — -feeling , self-expression or emoting
— great books (not ‘texts’ ) are at the center of our work in this class — it is by reading them that we learn.
— do not come to class without the book
— in this class: ‘race, class, and gender’ are not the holy trinity (though in some other classes it might be just that)
— ‘digital humanities ‘ is an oxymoron (at best)
