HEIDI ELMENDORF: Foundations of Biology
is mostly a lecture class.
It's a lecture class, I think, both fortunately and
unfortunately.
So it's a lecture class, in part, because it's huge
and that's easier.
It's a lecture class, though, in part
because I think there is a story to be told.
But I do think that there's a way of crafting all of these,
kind of telling about the stars, and kind
of crafting the connections that helps make things clearer.
And I actually think lecture is good for that.
I think an important thing to do in lecture
is to tell very coherent stories to help students
make sense of what can otherwise be just information
and help them see that it's actually part of a story.
