A lovely little holiday visitor lol she looks like a sweetie and I'm sure she appreciates the hospitality!

What drum kit is that, btw?

Lol no. These guys were tenured professors doing the same shit for years. It's a systemic issue where they rely on a definition of the "Socratic method" that is completely divorced from the original and functional tool. It's a buzz word they've been misinterpreting for over a century.

Seriously, lol. Just lecture if you're gonna lecture. I hate playing hide the ball with my own students because it's just a waste of time for everyone involved.

Absolutely. Small group is a must. I think the variations with seminars (always around 20 because universities want to maximize their profits) and lecture halls are terrible.

I see it working with 10ish people at the absolute max.

Absolutely meowjestic.

I don't like the Socratic method as it is employed in classrooms. I think the method of questioning is fine, and dissecting a subject can be fun with the right group and foreknowledge, but most instructors absolutely suck at making sure all students are up to speed with whatever is being discussed.

I don't see its value as a teaching tool without a strong enough instructor to prepare the students for its use and to guide the discussions in a productive manner.

Every professor I've ever had who used this method basically wasted class time with fill in the blank response questions. These are not higher order thinking discussions and do nothing to actually broaden understanding of whichever subject is being discussed. It seems like a cop out for the professor to me, at least how I've seen it used in multiple major universities.

I've had better Socratic discussions while high as fuck with my buddies after class than when we were actually in the lecture hall.

Maybe a little tart?

How did they taste?

So this is where House Redoran goes for their decorations.

True, armor is a lot harder to clean and get off, though.

Reminds me of the Futurama Nixon Dubbing a bit.

One may even say he is a melancholy camper...

Knights shat in their armor... Also, the odds of being landed nobility or their enforcement class are super slim. The past sucked and was even more full of parasites and disease. Definitely a no for me, dog.

Basically the same goes for WH40k and I'd rather not have to get shot at by aliens anyway, so I'm fine with my current prospects lol

Geese will fuck you up like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, though.

"[Silly], how?"

So... Do this with Halo 3 and Reach and this was basically my college unwinding experience. So many teams battles lol

It's tough. A lot of kids use it to goof off or vape/do drugs in the bathroom. Even in middle school.

There are definitely kids you can trust, but many at least abuse it to goof off.

Edit: Forgot to state, US.

It shows.

In its first years, it actually ran alongside a lot of interesting and significantly more scholarly shows (than what we have now) on those two networks. The early 2000s actually had some solid programming on the history channel. Pretty quickly devolved into pawn stars and ancient aliens after that, though. So, yeah, half to most of its run was alongside utter garbage.

Edit for clarification: More scholarly than the current and last decade and a half of shows on history channel and discovery.

That's Uncle Fester, but really cool pic, nonetheless.

Yep! That's exactly right.
