I dunno what april 10th is such an attractive date in my eyes. but it is. there is just something about the date that is pleasant to look at. and well, thats all i have to say about that.
But about the subject i was on earlier, before deciding that a brief sojourn in the promotion of my own expansion of epistemy...what does that mean. before i did my home work, i think...hmm too vague. anyway. before i did my homewoek i was voicing my frustration with the university of Windsors "learner Centred" perception of education.
Okay, what exactly is learner centred? it sounds like education that is formed around what the learner wants to gain from their engagement in their education. it sounds like independant study with group collaboration, it sounds like a pedagogical system that grants merit to cheeting...what? cheeting as merit ful...well yea. cause to cheet you have to decided what you need to know, then take steps to bullshit...to cheet you just have to claim your grandmother is dead...then pull crazy shit and the sympathy card. what a stupid education.
on this note, im sick of being graded. i've been getting A's for the past 17 years, and im sure that they haven't helped or spurned my education any further. So enough with grading and ranking my ideas. lets discuss them. i want every class to be a conference, where one student makes a case, presents a paper or giv a talk on a subject of the class. then we have discussion around that case paper or talk. then we go eat and retire to read for the evening. wouldn't that be marvelous. and so classes could only have thirteen at most people in them...it makes for a real environment of learning and generation of knowledge (what is the word for that... i don't recall, well anyway).
it would be nice to really generate something real. Something less mundane than slideshows about knowledge lost on girl childs strung out for attention.
