Although our poll is not over there is already a growing result that indeed the material shared during the lecture was boring. I would like to flush out this reasoning and response with greater detail?
Education in its purest form is about learning. It is not about tests and evaluations. The concept of education was born from the idea that knowledge is power and understanding, and that by educating your mind with new and powerful learning will inspire you and better civilization.
But in context of this lecture new and indepth learning is seen as boring, why?
please share your ideas on this lecture:
i didnt think that the entire lecture was boring , the only part that was boring was when the person teaching the lesson went on and on and on with one kind of voice expression but what he was saying was interesting.
ReplyDeleteim just saying its ok... because it was kind of boring but interesting... im not the kind of person to sit and listen cause i dont have patients but i did listen and what i heard from the lecture was veryy interesting :)
ReplyDeleteWell first of all, i didnt vote for boring. I think that most of the people that put boring, dont actually think its boring. Just like the one for rebound where most people voted as ' we read a book?', they didnt actually mean it. I actually think that its pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the portion of the lecture I heard was enthralling because there were just soo many facts to take in and understand and making jot notes would improve how much information that we would catch from it. I wasnt as enthousiastic with some parts, but most of the time I wasnt bored. Most of it was complex, so that was a variant to how much we understood, and that's one of the reasons why I lost interest in some parts.
ReplyDeletethe reason the contex of that lecture seemed boring was the way he was talking the way his voice sounded. Since most of us are not use to listening to lectures.
ReplyDeleteI do not think the lecture was at all boring. Quite the contray in fact because I thought the lecture was a seeing glass into the lives of citzen and slaves alike in the southern states. It helped you garner a better understanding to how they reasoned and justified their actions in accordance with slavery. Plus the lecture was striking to me in the fact that people of power (politicians) like V.P Alexander H Stevens who said slavery was the corner stone of civilization a person in office saying something like that its unreal to me. I always thought a politician would hold a bypartizan view to the topic. And even more to the reason why the lecture wasnt boring is because you were learning about events that directly effects you today, eg if the confedarets won canada might not be a country we wouldnt be learning about this right now we might be experiencing it. Something to think about id say.
ReplyDeletei dont see it why that some people would find getting an ed. boring espeshelly with lectures. lecutures are suposed to be long and slow because it is one of the most effective ways to get information espshally for getting jot notes over all it was prety good and got us the info we needed
ReplyDeletei think the lecture was full of information, it was interesting at some points but not at every part. i also agree with pamela on her post, because some people just say things are boring, even if they think that it is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI voted for interesting, i found this lecture very interesting on the civil war for the south, it was very detailed and very consisted, i enjoyed it ..
ReplyDeleteTo me, the lecture was ok because it gave me information on the Souths' reasons to keep slavery but it was very long and hard for me to concentrate and take notes. I also couldn't figure out what parts were important also because of the length of the lecture.
ReplyDeletei think some people thought it was boring because we are so used to hearing our teachers talk with different expression and when we heard the person that was giving the lecture with almost no change in expression most people found it boring.
ReplyDeletewell i cant say my opinion on the lecture because we were not here to listen to it.but from the comments i read the lecture sounded like you guys learned alot about the south.
ReplyDeletefor me the lecture was ok but sometimes it was intersting when he related stories, or talked about owners and their slaves.one thing ;that was it was really long and many times you could lose your pace and that's why i think that many people thought it was boring.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pamela, i think that people might just be voting boring just for the fun it, people also maybe writing boring because they didnt really understand what was going on but when they figure out what really happens and they actually listen to what happens they might get intrested.
ReplyDeletei have no idea on why people voted boring or something because i didnt hear it but by the comments it looks like it was an ok annd interesting lecture
ReplyDeletei agree with alyssa, it was long and could be hard to concentrate on the lecture. but it was interesting
ReplyDelete@ El Presidente
ReplyDeleteI also agree that the events that occured in the past influence us right now, like if slavery wasn't abolished, then colored people would still be slaves, and there are numerous things that would change, but I dont think that slavery would have continued until now, because machines are taking over life, Ever since the industrial revolution, life has been easier for us because of machines, therefore we wouldnt need other people to do stuff for us, robotics are the future
I havent herd the lecture but from reading everyones comments I find the lecture interesting.
ReplyDeleteTo all who comment on the length of the subject we took it in two parts and when your interested in something I personally feel you lose your sense of time. And there wasnt a real need for a change in expression because the content was interesting.Even though he did have changes of expression.
ReplyDeletewell this lecture was interesting and good but i felt it was kind of difficult cause it went pretty fast so it made it a little hard and when people don't tend to get it they lose interest.
ReplyDeleteFor me the lecture was interesting because I got to learn things about slavery that I didn't know before.Ialso think that the lecture was very detailed because he had letters from slaveoners and qoutes from famous people at the time.
ReplyDeletei agree with JAN101 i was not here and i have a feeling that it might be boring...but it might interesting,who knows!!
ReplyDeleteThe lecture was very informative and interesting because it gave me background info about how the african people were treated in the south.
ReplyDeletei agree with Alyssa , the lacture was very interesting but the length of the lecture made it hard to take the notes.
i agree with Nida because most people reeally dont listen or get whats going on so they just say its boring
ReplyDelete@talha There would be reprecutions of slavery so just because manual labour has died out it doesnt mean that other labour would not open up. And the roots of slavery would still be there so people of colour would still be discrimnated against. My point is just because manual labour wouldnt be their slaves would still exist.
ReplyDeleteI did not think that the lecture was boring because it did have some very interesting information at points but it was very long and, like other people have said, he didn't change his tone of voice for the whole time. And if history isn't your favourite subject, it seems to almost drag on and then you could get distracted and think that the lecture was boring.
