the 7 day assignment.
Well actually it is a career oriented term paper but the students do only have 7 days to complete the assignment. Why 7 days? I figure I am giving the majority of the students involved 5 more days than they would have spent working on the paper. What the students have to do is very [...]
EDUCATION OF THE FUTURE!
Well maybe it is education of today! Think about you the parent who might be hanging about at school waiting for a child! What if you could do a micro course in the 30 minutes or hour you wait? WOW what an idea!
TED2009 and ME
I am going to TED2009 this year. No I have not completely worked out the funding yet, although ZAYED UNIVERSITY has generously donated some funds to help make this dream a reality.

I recently assigned my students the task of writing a 50 word outline for a project. Part of the grading is for how the 50 words look! 1 of 5 marks is for presentation… the immediate response was “sir we have to do a presentation?” I find it curious that we live in an environment [...]
2nd Chances!
I am a firm believer that we are given a chance, one chance to get it right. I do not believe we ever have a second chance, ever. Over the last 25 years I have also come to believe that what we often regard as the single chance scenario is more often than not a [...]
University thinking.
What if the university student and university professor had to change places for a week? Really! I cannot imagine it would be pretty. But what would result was a profound re-thinking of higher education from both stakeholders. Too little time today is spent by professors imagining the environment students are coming from (don’t forget professors [...]
