Damien’s lecture style is very different to what I am use to, \u00a0it was such a shock to have someone so lively (no offence to other lecturers) and bubbly at the top of the room and the statements that go against the grain are fantastic; like only do what you need to do; its pass\/fail 1% over a pass is as good as 30% over.<\/p>\n
I think I am starting to see Damien’s teaching style, it is not just stand up and lecture but a more collaborative approach. The way he uses technology may seem random but he uses a lot in little time. I had a look at his teaching strategy on Webcourses and can now see where he wants us, his students, to go. take risks and learn by mistakes, that is how we can broaden our horizons.<\/p>\n
By not giving handouts during class I find myself having to put a lot more thought into these session. That is to say, if I got handout I would probably – with the best of intentions – leave them until later to tidy up. However with these classes I have found that to understand the concepts being presented I have top go to Damien’s slideShare and find relevant presentation for what I am\u00a0confused\u00a0with. When I have gone this far I keep Googleing and looking at references provided to understand the concepts. This is ensuring encoding of\u00a0schema\u00a0into my long term memory. good ploy Damien.<\/p>\n
