Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: How Can You Justify a Course Like That?
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-can-you-justify-course-like-that.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Sunday, January 31, 2010. How Can You Justify a Course Like That? We learned not to call it HoLit, because then people had an even different impression. The argument came down to two prongs (similar to a pitchfork). Horror is scary and fun, but definitely not literature. There are enough courses, so why offer one concentrating on horror: the things that sane people want to forget and don’t acknowledge they have. How could we justify it? View my complete profile.

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: April 2009
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Sunday, April 26, 2009. What do you mean? I explain this idea of personal knowledge through understanding how we use words, to the students, and ask them to create a dictionary of their meanings, using words of their own choice. Following are some of the. An engagement ring shows my love for another person and symbolizes that I want to spend the rest of my life with them. Hopefully it isn’t cheap because giving up my money also shows I love them. The man who lived of...

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: September 2009
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Monday, September 14, 2009. The best class I ever taught. In December or spring, we leave our students – or they leave us. They’ve finished the semester. Sometimes we’re relieved, but more often we’re melancholy. By now, the classes are so much more than a roster of names. What would Nick and Andre battle this week, in their science-religion war? We argued. We created a class identity, and we also created our own vocabulary. Monday, September 7, 2009.

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: October 2009
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Saturday, October 31, 2009. I can remember the ragman, walking down the alley with his refrain of “r-r-r-r-aaags, R-r-r-r-ags! When I asked my grandma, she said, “Good paper. Good paper is made from rags.” I learned not only where the rags went, but that there was an indisputable caste system in the world of paper. Resell, to schools or other teachers. They have a lancet window of time: a textbook company issues a new edition of a book every three years, making the p...

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: February 2010
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Monday, February 15, 2010. It’s a Lovecraftian question: why this un-penetrable (impenetrable) horror and from where did it arise? What does it do to the people who have knowledge of it, and what depths in their psyche spawned such terror? Students ask this question all the time, except they rephrase it: How come you have an interesting course that I can use for my liberal arts requirements? Our other courses are boring?

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: August 2009
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Saturday, August 29, 2009. One of the abundance of gifts we receive in late August-early September, is coming back. Like Lazarus, we arise from summer somnolence or frenzy depending on our personal proclivities and our family situation, and return to our first calling: the classroom. Saturday, August 8, 2009.

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: May 2009
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Sunday, May 31, 2009. I will be an even stronger supporter of Eat Locally, when the botanists develop a cacao tree that thrives in the Upper Midwest. Saturday, May 16, 2009. End of semester and MamaRobin. How can we read all the texts and reference materials, read the ed journals, read and assess the student papers, maintain discipline and respect, geniality and joy? The answers are partly and never, or at the end of the semester/school year. Sunday, May 10, 2009.

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: Where are the Students? Who are the Students?
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2010/01/where-are-students-who-are-students.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Where are the Students? Who are the Students? They reveled in blood and ingenuous ways to commit murder. Not the Vincent Price pendulum for them, though they analyzed its mechanics. Not the straightforward throttling or bullet to the brain: they’d seen enough of that in their early (crib? Fascination of horror. They critiqued special effects and tossed comparisons on plot with the skill of professional reviewers. Why? View my complete profile.

Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching: Department Approval
http://teachinglearning-learningteaching.blogspot.com/2010/02/department-approval.html
Teaching Learning; Learning Teaching. Sunday, February 7, 2010. Getting all these departments, divisions, and individuals to agree is not easy. We needed to convince the department members to give us permission to develop the outline for a course. Once we had the outline, we were to come back to them for review and (we hoped) approval.
