It’s week three of uni and having had three UNlectures I can say I like the concept, but I do think there needs to be less structure to the actual going about of the hour. Anyone should be able to jump in and add or counter-argue what one person is saying in order to make the environment collaborative.

And no electronic devices? Fair enough studies have shown students in particular may not be able to multitask, but to say in one lecture that ‘we’ have to be responsible for our own leaning, and then put up the ‘scalfoding’ of Secondary School of no electronic devices is conflicting. If we are responsible for our own learning we then should be able to determine what is right and wrong to do in context. We spent a lecture talking about how these devices we have in our pockets have and are in the process of changing the world,  so why then make us put that piece of technology away. I personally prefer to write notes down as I have always recorded it that way and it is a thought process that works for me. But different people have different ways they live with these devices, and if anything shouldn’t we be embracing it.
