[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of my best professors were lecturers (in lit!) and some of the worst classes I attended were the ones where students (mostly male) mansplained during discussions and would shout down alternative ideas.  Both formats have their strengths and weaknesses.  In my lit classes, we read some fantastic books and I was able to get my ideas across in my writing (as well as have conversations with my professors about contrasting ideas).[/quote]

OMG the discussions filled with mansplaining and/or the kiss-ass striver trying to let everyone but mostly the prof know how well they know the material. Ill take the curmudgeon lecture with 200 anyday.[/quote]

This. Most kids would benefit more from a lecture than a sophomoric (pun intended) decision with a bunch of kids who don't know the underlying material well enough to add anything meaningful. I'm a very firm believer that 100 and 200 level humanities courses are about absorbing enough information to be able to intelligently engage in upper level classes [/quote]
