My family hasn’t been able to go to school, because we are on a world tour. We have had to do on line courses for our education. We have been taking an architectural course. It teaches us about structures and buildings. The Great Course is the on line course that teaches us about architecture in The Great Course is boring, There are some things that the instructor can do to make it better and more bearable.
There are some things that the Great Course can do to make it funnier. The person who teaches us needs to have a more interesting voice, it makes my mom sleep. His voice makes me tired when I hear it for a long time. He needs to find new buildings. He is obsessed with an Arsenal in New York. He has brought it up for the last 3 lectures. It gets kind of boring. He needs to find new buildings. He also uses too many free body diagrams. They are really boring. He should just use the picture of the building so we have something to look at. The free body diagrams don’t make it easier to see the load path, to the foundation. The instructor needs new pictures and examples.
The great course needs to make some changes so it is more entertaining to watch. I mean lectures aren’t the funniest things in the world. If the instructor makes the course more entertaining by getting new information then the course will be allot more fun.
Hi Zander,
ReplyDeleteSo "The Great Course" is Not-So-Great. It's really cool that you're taking online courses. Even if it seems to be boring, I think that you are learning something from it. One of these things is to be think critically about your education. Thinking of ways that people could improve their delivery to you is a skill that some people don't practice much. Is there a course that you DO like?
Zander, I agree with you! I have checked out a few from our library a couple years ago and found them to be a tad dry. Especially, the math courses!I couldn't stay focus more than 10minutes at a time. I had to do jumping-jacks to stay awake!Now, the history courses are much better. They made it a little more interesting, especially when they show timelines and pictures of wire outfits and costumes. Hope, you'll find one that's catch your interests.
