Richard Lissemore edited the blog post What’s the point of being a professor? in the group Mapping the Futures of Higher Education: 7 years, 6 months ago

In today’s New York Times, Emory University professor Mark Bauerlein offers a stinging criticism of the culture of higher education. He bemoans the fact that 43% of students are given As for their work (it was only 15% decades ago) and that more than 80% of students are more concerned with making money than they are with moral and worldly…[Read more]
Richard Lissemore edited the blog post What a ride… in the group Mapping the Futures of Higher Education (Public): 7 years, 8 months ago

As a Graduate Teaching Fellow and doctoral student in the Speech, Language, Hearing department at CUNY, I was assigned, in August of 2014, to teach undergraduate Anatomy & Physiology of the Speech Mechanism at Lehman College in the Bronx. Having never taught the topic before, I had to work diligently and quickly to study the chosen text, design…[Read more]

Richard Lissemore edited the blog post Futures Initiative Summer Mentorship Program in the group A&P@Lehman: 7 years, 9 months ago

As we have discussed in class, the Futures Initiative will be hosting a two-day mentorship workshop this summer, August 18-19. This is a terrific opportunity, especially if you’d like to take on a leadership role and go deeper into the methods we’ve explored this semester. If chosen, you will be paid $200 for the two days and will be given…[Read more]

Richard Lissemore replied to the topic Am I going insane? 6c HELP! in the forum A&P@Lehman 7 years, 9 months ago

You should only be using Worksheet #9, which is for 6c. 57 questions

The 6c quiz was a mistake and has been removed. It was from another semester. I’ve simplified things.
Richard Lissemore replied to the topic 4/28 Homework & Readings in the forum Mapping the Futures – Grad Students 7 years, 9 months ago

This is so great Natalie. Isn’t it amazing that even half the class is open to the idea of contemplative pedagogy? I think it really speaks to an underlying yearning for something deeper, more substantial. I love that you used ‘dreamy chords’ as the subject of the focused attention, and having students write a word on the board as they left class…[Read more]

Ilka Rios replied to the topic Studying for Chapter 6A in the forum A&P@Lehman 7 years, 9 months ago

I actually found that to be true. I worked on the diagrams during the break and found I was able to remember more than I usually do. Hopefully I have found the secret for this exam.
Richard Lissemore replied to the topic Videos to watch before our 4/14 class session in the forum Mapping the Futures – Grad Students 7 years, 10 months ago

The first video is not playing properly on my laptop but the second video is. Anyone else having that problem?

Wesch’s closing remarks about the virtuous cycle of play are really moving and thought-provoking. Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Dear All,

In keeping with last week’s theme of dealing with life issue while trying to succeed at school, I thought that I would draw your attention to the great work of the Lehman College Counseling […]
Richard Lissemore wrote a new blog post Free Science Tutoring at Lehman in the group A&P@Lehman: 7 years, 10 months ago

Dear All,

I found this resource right here at Lehman College and thought that it might be of interest to you. It is not specifically for Speech and Hearing, but is for pre-med students, many of whom are […]
Richard Lissemore replied to the topic Professors & Persistence Assignments for 3/24 in the forum Mapping the Futures – Grad Students 7 years, 10 months ago

I believe it. And certainly, though some students have legitimate challenges, others have difficulty making class and study time a priority.
Richard Lissemore replied to the topic Professors & Persistence Assignments for 3/24 in the forum Mapping the Futures – Grad Students 7 years, 10 months ago

Wow, Irene! I think your attendance policy is extremely generous, especially since its 10% of their grade.

I give weekly quizzes that count as 30% of their grade but they get to drop the two lowest grades, which includes the missed quizzes. And I thought my class policy was generous!
Richard Lissemore replied to the topic Professors & Persistence Assignments for 3/24 in the forum Mapping the Futures – Grad Students 7 years, 10 months ago

I didn’t have a problem and I think it’s because I registered with Soundcloud. But before I had registered I wasn’t able to comment.
Richard Lissemore replied to the topic Professors & Persistence Assignments for 3/24 in the forum Mapping the Futures – Grad Students 7 years, 10 months ago

Thanks for the prompt Rachel, Natalie, and Evan.

Though I’ve only been teaching at Lehman a short while (this is my second semester), it has become obvious that a great many of my students are dealing with personal issues that are causing them tremendous stress, and in some situations, seriously interfering with their ability to succeed in their…[Read more]

Hey guys,

Friday is our Mid term and I find myself struggling to learn the material. Well not so much as learn more like retain the information. I am in serious need of some new strategies in order to do well […]
