[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Times have changed. Smartphones have decimated people’s attention span. Way too many distractions now. Lectures never worked especially well and are even less effective now. Studies have shown that listeners only retain about 5-10% information from lectures. It is a very inefficient way to deliver information. [/quote] +1 If professors are going to lecture, they should just type up what they're going to say and assign it as a reading and cancel class. [/quote] So you think we’ve all lost the capacity to understand verbal information? The rise of Youtube and TikTok show the opposite. A lecture is an important part of learning. The student needs to be engaged though- prepare ahead with the readings, listen actively, and take notes. [/quote]
