A decent part of a decent curriculum would prepare, involve and continuously develop decent messengers. Again, in a decent curriculum (of course based on research and experience, messengers role should be limited to facilitation. Learning can only be achieved through student-dominated process of learning-by-doing. The other para, when you adopt a curriculum, you need to take the educational strategies as a system (of many building blocks) on a basis of "take-it-or-leave-it". Student is the last party to blame, the duty of the program is to facilitate, motivate, monitor and continuously improve student's performance and outcomes. If you find you are too busy to meet such challenges, consider the golden rule of 'take-it-or-;eave-it.'
your opinion is so admired, I share the question to you, and waiting for answer.
many reasons for descent, and you know them better than me. the main cause behind the mission failure, is the failure of built a team of believers who can deliver the message. The first step is to have believers around, and don't feel alone.
Thank you for bringing up this matter. You remember in 19990s I used to tell you that the right tool and "weapon" to fight resistance for better change is the product of the better change which is the students and graduates. I am personally satisfied that the product before the drastically damaging changes in TUCOM program i.e. after 2000, was excellent and as aimed at despite the many "bad messengers" who existed those years. Indeed, many lessons need to be learnt.
I said bad conduction of hypothesis, I meant wrong trials, lead to faulty results. So we may judge with failure.
anyhow I remember all the worlds you said in the past, and I touch them in future as a reality. we got the advantage of this way of learning, in practice and post graduate study. we thank you for that, and apologize for being lost.
The students like a plain object that you can design it as you want. the problem with the teachers, they dont have the desire to give.
