What happens to students who are not auditory learners? I was not. My youngest is not. We take good notes by Catholic elem school training, but don’t really learn until we’ve reviewed our notes. Plus, note-taking isn’t even taught in public school anymore.

And how will you teach critical thinking in the humanities through lecture? My Catholic high school social studies classes back in the 1980s didn’t have us do all source analysis like some of today’s kids, but they were not “sit and get” either. We were in a happy middle space where we had seminars and discussed everything. Our teacher didn’t just tell us the causes and effects like yours did. [/quote]

They better get over that quickly since nobody cares what kind of learner you are in college. I would say 80%+ of my courses in college were lectures. 100% in the first two years. They expect you already know how to evaluate sources by the time you get to college. No wonder so many kids drop out of college. They haven't ever had to sit and just listen and do the work. They don't want to sit through a 3 hours lecture. They want to be spoon fed.[/quote]
