A radical (emergent) approach to teaching a course
As a teacher, I have come to believe that many truly great classes teeter on the very edge of chaos. Synergy tests whether teachers and students are really open to the principle of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.----------------------------------
Dear students,
Currently only 5 students are enrolled in PHYS3170 Intermediate Biophysics.
However, Dr.
There would be no formal lectures. Most learning would take place via readings and a class blog.
We would meet face to face on thursdays at 12 noon and possibly 2pm. This would be an informal discussion
I would propose we try and negotiate an assessment arrangement which will be based on your extent of involvement
I believe you would actually learn more and have more fun.
But, I can understand why you might prefer the safety and predictability of a conventional course.
Please let me know if you are still interested.

Did the class go ahead and was it a 'success'?
