On the April blog on Fishbowl, it talks about classes in college and whether or not they are used fully. Whether changes should occur in schools by giving a presentation to students and letting them discuss this view, or if the 180 days of class are actually benefiting students. By listening to the presentation, one would infer that some changes might need to be made to certain aspects of the curriculum. One student offered the idea of random "films" in the classroom to give their classmates something different. Lectures and slide shows are not going to always captivate young minds.
I believe that this presentation would be nice to experience. I would truthfully like to change certain things in the curriculum. Do we really need "core" classes when we already took them in high school. Are lectures and non-hands on practices really the way to teach? I would prefer certain projects or student to student teaching and learn from experience. I think that their idea is very important and should be considered.
